Benefits of E-invoicing for AP Automation

  • Faster processing

    E-invoices can be sent and received instantly, speeding up the invoice processing and payment cycle, reducing delays caused by mailing and manual processing, leading to faster payments and improved cash flow.

  • Cost Savings

    E-invoicing eliminates the need for printing, paper, envelopes, and postage, leading to significant cost savings. Digital invoices require less storage space compared to physical documents, further reducing costs. Faster payment cycles can allow businesses to take advantage of early payment discounts offered by suppliers.

  • Enhanced Security and Compliance

    E-invoicing systems encrypt data transmission, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive financial information. E-invoicing can help businesses comply with tax and other regulations, and comply with CTC mandates across the World.

  • Visibility

    E- invoicing allows customers and suppliers to monitor the status of their invoices in real time.  This builds better business relationships and reduces time the spent by finance teams dealing with queries.

  • Integration

    Integrate seamlessly with any finance system, get real-time notifications about the status of invoices and connect to regulated infrastructures all over the world including Peppol to comply with both e-invoicing and continuous transaction control regulations in over 80 countries.

  • Sustainability

    Removal of paper from the process reduces storage, printing and posting costs.  Compliant digital storage allows invoices to be viewed at any stage and archived in compliance with local country mandates for future retrieval and audit purposes.

What is e-invoicing and how does it work?

E-invoicing (electronic invoicing) is the digital exchange of invoice documents between a supplier and a buyer in a structured electronic format. Unlike paper or PDF invoices, e-invoices are generated, sent, received, and processed automatically within financial systems, significantly reducing manual data entry and errors. With Documation, e-invoices integrate seamlessly into your AP or procurement workflow.

What are the benefits of using e-invoicing over traditional invoicing?

E-invoicing offers several advantages, including faster processing times, improved accuracy, reduced fraud risk, and greater visibility over invoice statuses. It also supports compliance with government mandates and helps organisations meet their digital transformation goals. For finance teams, it reduces the workload and improves supplier relationships.

Is e-invoicing compliant with HMRC and global tax regulations?

Yes, e-invoicing through Documation is designed to help organisations stay compliant with evolving regulations in the UK and internationally. Our solution supports compliance with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital initiative and other regional mandates by ensuring invoices are validated, stored, and exchanged according to the required legal standards.

Can e-invoicing integrate with my existing ERP or finance system?

Absolutely. Documation’s e-invoicing solution is built to integrate with a wide range of ERP, finance, and procurement systems. Whether you’re using SAP, Oracle, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics, or a bespoke platform, we can tailor the integration to suit your specific needs, ensuring a smooth and efficient implementation.

How long does it take to implement an e-invoicing solution?

Implementation timelines vary depending on the complexity of your systems and workflows. However, many Documation clients see successful rollouts within a matter of weeks. We provide full support from planning and configuration through to testing and go-live to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your operations.
