AdValvas Invoice Manager for Accounts Payable

To implement e-Invoicing, different invoice formats need to be supported, as well as connection to different delivery channels. Commercial invoices, possibly are matched with a purchase order and receipt. Service invoices however are more complex and are processed in a different way, as there usually is no corresponding purchase order. Examples of service domains are Telecom, Interim, utilities, fleet, fuel, ... .

Not only integration issues have to be solved, but perhaps the most important challenge is to install cost control and workflow processes, possibly including matching with other documents. AdValvas Invoice Manager is the application that will enable buyers to achieve all these goals in the most efficient way..

To enable “direct feed” of e-Invoices in your financial applications, a number of requirements do apply.

• ERP/Accounting system must be capable of handling “recurrent” complex invoices - usually not the case
• Both ERPs need to speak the “same language” (same formats) – yet, many “languages” and “variants” co-exist
• Both business partners need to have an ERP system – not the case for small businesses
• Both partners need to use the same (or interoperable) “transportation method” and certificate provider
