A supplier creates an invoice in their ERP and generates it as a digital PDF, XML, CSV, Word, Excel, EDI or other electronic format, and then emails it. The invoice is sent to the buyer via a designated email address where automated and AI-driven invoice scanning and data capture software instantly reads the data form the invoice and extracts it into a database.
The invoice capture is fast and 100% accurate, because the electronic file format of the invoice has a data layer that reflects exactly what was input. This digital capture method has a high on-boarding rate by suppliers because the supplier just has to send the invoice to the specified email address and avoids incurring any costs to do so.
