As organizations seek to reduce costs and improve efficiency, paper-intensive processes such as accounts payable (AP) are prime candidates for automation. Not only do these manual processes slow down productivity across the entire organization, long cycle times can result in late payment penalties and missed opportunities for negotiated payment discounts.
AP inefficiency can ultimately lead to bigger business problems associated with lack of visibility into corporate spending. CFOs and corporate controllers need visibility into AP practices to streamline cash management, simplify reconciliation, and produce more accurate financial statements.
While organizations have automated portions of the AP process by receiving invoices electronically via electronic data interchange (EDI), typically many steps still require manual validation and approval, making them prone to human error.
Purchase orders start at various levels in a large organization, and require the approval of several authorities. A long chain of approvers slows down the payment process and drives up the costs of unprocessed invoices, resulting in the accumulation of late fees.
Manual AP processes can lead to bottlenecks in providing the insight finance needs to manage cash flow effectively. With many invoices outstanding and little visibility into their status, getting accurate information about accruals becomes tedious, time-consuming, and difficult.
Accounts payable is where money leaves the company, and it is often an area vulnerable to fraud. Catching and preventing fraud entails tight controls and constant vigilance, which may be difficult to achieve in manual AP departments.
