easysquare invoice receipt workflow
Tailored processes for your invoice receipt with easysquare
The easysquare workflow invoice receipt workflow ensures fast and correct processing of invoice receipts. Processes for each individual company are stored in easysquare workflow for processing so that the digitally recorded invoice receipts are assigned to the responsible employee automatically.
The easysquare work basket is available to users as a tile in their SAP Fiori® launchpad and shows all open tasks with due dates and priorities. Clicking on a task, that needs to be completed, opens the easysquare workflow dashboard. Here users can monitor, control and edit the individual steps of the process. The employees responsible for the individual steps are thus able to successively complete each task that arises. In combination with the digital inbox, paper invoices are scanned at the beginning of the process and then processed in easysquare workflow. The shorter processes allow discounts to be implemented more easily and your employees’ valuable time resources are saved, allowing them to concentrate on your core competences.
From invoice receipt to posting in just a few steps
The easysquare invoice receipt workflow significantly simplifies the checking and release process. It consists of multiple process components that are tailored to your individual requirements and can optionally be combined with one another. The process control tool is available for SAP Fiori® and is particularly user-friendly thanks to its intuitive design and clear tile interface.
1. Invoice receipt
The key procedure in a digital invoice run is the scanning of the incoming invoice. This can be done internally or, if required, externally via a scanning service provider. Text recognition (OCR) is used to automatically read out the content. It is possible to support the recognition process with validations of creditor numbers, order numbers or auxiliary account assignments.
2. Clearing and reconciliation
Within the clearing process, the data records are checked for incomplete or inconsistent information. The reconciliation process is in turn used for the functional preparation of the invoicing case and the recording of further document data in SAP®.
3. Release in SAP® or mobile
The check and release for commercial and factual correctness as well as the posting release are performed based on the process stored in the system. Only the relevant employees receive the invoice document for processing. Various security mechanisms can also be taken into account, such as the dual-control principle. Mobile invoice release is possible thanks to a connection to the easysquare Professional app and shortens long release times for business travellers or mobile employees.
4. Automatic posting
If required, document processing and posting can be automated. This increases the process and document security in financial accounting.
5. Transparency and logging
All activities and changes are logged continuously from the time of the data import.
