Best practice invoice processing

Scanning and data validation Invoices are scanned and interpreted using OCR. Invoice data is imported and validated in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Invoice data can be adjusted by AP staff if necessary.

Coding and preliminary posting ExFlow uses intelligent coding proposing most optimal coding for any invoice line. Coding can be done against a general ledger, PO, project module, or fixed asset. After adjustments the invoice is preliminarily posted.

3-way matching ExFlow can match invoices against POs, contracts and/or goods receipts. ExFlow enhances standard matching rules to provide full support for 3-way matching. If ExFlow is unable to match the invoice or if discrepancies are identified, the invoice is sent for approval.

Dynamic approval workflow on any device Approval is set using standard workflows and/or position hierarchies. Approval workflows can also be generated dynamically using invoice data.

Approval can be done on-the-go on any device using the ExFlow web portal. Approvers are notified by e-mail to take appropriate action.

At all time, AP staff have full transparency into all invoices that are awaiting approval.

Final posting and accrual for estimated costs Approved invoices are posted directly in the general ledger. ExFlow also allows for accrual for estimated cost, non-posted invoices can be accrued via a general journal for end-of-month reporting.

Analytics and follow-up Throughout the process, AP have full control over all invoice activity. All actions are logged, providing a failsafe audit trail. Using Power BI, staff can analyze the invoice process to identify bottlenecks and track necessary KPIs.
