Automatic processing of incoming invoices
with SEEBURGER Purchase-to-Pay

SEEBURGER’s integrated purchase-to-pay solution lets you link purchase requisitions, orders, order confirmation, receipt of goods, receipt of invoice and release of the supplier’s invoice for payment together into a seamless and efficient process. Quick, professional and above all cost-effective, it incorporates current SAP best practices and will make a significant contribution to improving your cash flow and profits in the long term.

The purchase-to-pay process uses OCR and freeform technology to convert invoices received in paper, PDF and fax formats into electronic data. Conversely, EDI data is automatically displayed as an invoice that end users can read. When electronic invoices are received with a digital signature it is automatically verified. Following validation, invoices flow into the existing IT infrastructure – e.g. SAP or other ERP systems – for booking. Non-SAP-users can be integrated into the invoice release process via Web clients.

SEEBURGER’s purchase-to-pay solution handles processing of invoices received via any channel, and monitors and logs the entire process, from scanning through to booking.
