Business Need​

The client organization was spending 8,333 hours to process 100,000 invoices annually. The business need was to automate the Invoice Intake process, Voucher Creation, GL coding, PO Reconciliation, PO closure,
report missing POs to the Accounts Payables department. ​

Our Solution

Our AP Invoice and PO Reconciliation solution consisted of multiple RPA Bots working in tandem with the OCR Bot to replace the manual effort with an automated process. Manual intervention was reduced to scenarios where invoices did not pass the validation rules and for final approvals. ​

​ Key highlights of
our solution:​

 

  • Automated intake of 100,000 invoices received annually from 700 vendors via email, vendor-website-downloads, fax, and hand-delivered​
  • 50% of these invoices are complex, 22% are photo images, and 9% are 3 pages long
  • The AP automation includes AP/GL coding, verification, 3-way match between two enterprise applications, PO exception reporting, PO closure, and enabling unused PeopleSoft FSCM Workflow features​
