| For too many organizations, Accounts Payable remains challenged by inefficient processes and a blizzard of paper-based invoices that limit the speed, accuracy and compliance controls critical to successful management of outgoing payables. Given that most corporate AP functions have at their core the need to maintain and regularly interface with an ERP or other host accounting system for general ledger and budget management, the ideal solution would not simply deliver best-in-class invoice automation, but would also reflect the tightest possible systems integration without expensive customization and training, or the need to buy additional ERP user licenses. Invoice Management that Supports Existing Microsoft AX Investments
Transform AP, Bottomline’s invoice processing solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX, delivers against all of these requirements and more. With functionality for capturing incoming supplier invoice data, Transform AP links directly to AX, automatically creating PO-based invoices for further validation and matching within AX, or exception processing where a match cannot be found. In addition, any non PO-based invoices are automatically routed to the appropriate personnel for G/L coding and approval. Throughout this process, Transform AP allows for complete online review of all invoices as well as the ability to generate reports reflecting invoice status and productivity.
