Among the steps in the accounts payable process, invoice approvals is the most important one. Approval of invoices comprises multiple steps, including accuracy validation, matching invoice data with PO and receipt data, and obtaining required approvals for payment. When these steps are manually executed, delays, errors, and duplicate payments are likely to occur. Timely and accurate approval of invoices is essential for building strong vendor relationships. Invoice processing and approval can be streamlined and processing times can be reduced when the cycle is automated. Accuracy of financial transactions and overall vendor relationships can be greatly improved with automation.
