Welcome to employees attending the session. Cover housekeeping items.
Scan and capture done in house E-Invoicing available as vendors attain the capability. Some manual steps introduced to ensure that invoices are sighted at different steps along the way. This includes Vendor Confirmation and GST Verification upon initial import into Basware and a final check immediately prior to export to Masterpiece. We will step through these in more detail now, then
Basware covers from the purchasing cycle – including requests for quotes to recording the payment details supplied by Masterpiece/ERP. PM information is provided for context so that you know what the Agency has done leading up to the arrival of the invoice at SSSA Invoice Automation is not just about work-flowing invoices between system users. There are a range of different modules that can assist AP and Agency staff by automating certain tasks based on predefined criteria. Please note that the automation is not being enabled initially, but may be switched on once the AP Reform team are comfortable with the new system and they are confident that the system is operating according to their requirements. For example invoices relating to a PO can be matched to the PO number – amounts checked and if within the specified tolerances () automatically processed.
Data capture phase: Scanning is the most efficient way to get invoices into electronic form (e.g. using the Basware BT service). Up to 95% accuracy in data recognition with Basware FastScan and recognition templates. (Autoflow: Offers the most efficient way to get invoices into the workflow. Invoices can be manually sent to different types of flows as well.) Posting phase: Basware uses posting templates for posting automation or favorites lists (accounts/profit centers etc.) to help with manual posting. Posting can be accomplished before, during or after the workflow by AP personnel, a reviewer or approver. Review phase: Reviewer sees an invoice image and all necessary data on one screen. Approval phase. Approval limits control who can approve an invoice. If needed, more detailed approval rights can be defined based on criteria such as cost centers, projects etc. Transfer for payment: In this phase, the system recognizes unclear invoices (posting differences, etc), that still need AP’s attention. Other invoices can be directly transferred. This process can also be fully automated as invoices are automatically transferred to ERP after approval.
