AP Automation via DMT

We are wanting to automate/augment the creation of AP Invoices to our main suppliers.
To do this, I was thinking we could give them a DMT schema to follow and that it would be easy for the vendor to map their AR invoice information into our schema. Currently, we just receive PDF AR invoices from them and it’s a manual process to create the invoice and match against the receipt.

After testing, I’m finding that this is much more difficult than I thought. For instance, I am able to create an invoice group and the invoice itself, but when it comes to the Receipt matching process, I am at a loss since the vendor would not know or necessarily map their AR invoice to our original PO, which is exactly what is done manually now.

What are others doing to automate/augment AP?

Docstar has AP Automation built in. It uses OCR. You can see demo on website. IT is also owned by Epicor.

I would recommend you get a demo of DocStar. I think it is worth it’s weight with AP automation. I am still working to get our company to invest. I think it will ROI very quickly. It will build everything for you and kick out only exceptions in a full three way match.
