• the input stage – scanning and recognising invoice details or reading in electronic invoices (CSV, UBL 2.0 or XML, for example);
• the AP stage – processing in accounts payable, such as coding cost-related invoices, and automatically matching and routing them to the relevant budget administrators for approval;
• the budget administrators – approving the payment of invoices (if it is impossible to match them automatically);
• integration in an ERP environment – the management of the master data remains confined to the ERP environment that is used. It is possible to update the status of a procurement invoice within the ERP environment at various times during the process.
