The AP Rollercoaster: Good Days, Bad Days, and the Game-Changer

Written by Transcepta | 10/14/24 5:11 PM

Let’s be real. Some days in AP feel like you're trapped in a never-ending loop. You walk into the office, and there it is—another backlog of invoices with issues.

Some need to be fixed because of OCR errors. Others need more information from suppliers or approvers. Either way you have to chase people down to process the invoice.

OCR may have come a long way, but it’s still imperfect, and your team is stuck cleaning up the mess. OCR misreads a character, misses a zero, or just gives you incomplete data.

Your team’s playing detective, spending hours fixing issues when they should be doing higher-value work. You’re wasting hours verifying bad data, chasing suppliers, and fixing errors. In the meantime, more invoices pile up. Face it - you are stuck in the OCR hamster wheel and working harder, not smarter.

Now picture this—no more OCR errors. With a digital supplier network, invoices are processed accurately and arrive ready for payment. No manual fixes required means you save time and money. Every time.

Incorrect or incomplete invoices are automatically sent back to the supplier with clear instructions on how to fix the issue. Suppliers love the instant feedback, and your AP team is free to focus on what matters.

But the digital supplier network doesn’t just handle invoices. It works across all transactions—purchase orders, advance shipment notices, payments—you name it. It’s a game-changer.

Transcepta AI takes AP automation to the next level. The platform eliminates invoice exceptions because it learns from each invoice processed. So, the more you use it, the better it gets.

The dream of straight-through invoice processing is here. Here’s how it works:

  • Transcepta accepts invoices in any format, so suppliers don’t have to jump through hoops to send them your way
  • Every invoice is automatically inspected for accuracy
  • If there’s missing information, Transcepta’s learning technologies, such as PO CloudMatch and CloudCode, fill in any missing information including PO line numbers and GL codes
  • Once the invoice is validated, it syncs with your ERP, ready for payment

And for the rare invoice that doesn’t pass the checks? It’s returned to the supplier with clear, actionable feedback—no bottlenecks for your AP team. This dramatically reduces manual work and speeds up processing times.

So, what’s it going to be? The frustration and exhaustion of managing endless OCR errors and invoice exceptions, or the freedom and efficiency of a digital supplier network?

By choosing Transcepta, you’ll be setting your AP team up for success—transforming bad days into great days, every day. It’s time to break free from the OCR grind and give your team the tools they need to thrive.
