Hi,

We are currently on Apps 8 in the UK and reviewing our options when it comes to scanning of supplier invoices Automatically into IFS including the capture of data on the invoice to improve data entry accuracy and make process more efficient.

Has anyone else implemented such a solution and if so, are you able to provide recommendations.

Thanks in advance

Shaun

Yes, we implemented this in V8 in the UK using a third party partner, Documation a few years ago.  We then have moved to V9 since going live in the UK.  This year, we implemented this in the US as well.

Everyone on both sides of the pond are happy with the setup.

 

We looked at Pagero (more expensive than documation and changed the quote last minute).  Cooper Software also offers a version of this now, but I don’t recall if we looked at them for this function previously.

In V8, we had implemented the scan and verify modules of Readsoft for supplier invoices and later moved to Basware(which apparently also uses Readsoft in the background). I would recommend giving Readsoft a try.

Hi, in Apps8 we implemented a scanning solution Inpute successfully in the UK.

We are currently in the process of upgrading to Aurena and will be bringing the solution with us.

@paul.phillips  in North America may be able to help, We from Novacura have provided solutions using our low-code framework to resolve this:

Novacura has handled this two ways. Using our low-code development platform we have:

  1. Built integration to third party AP automation partners, such as Medius Flow (as shown below).
    Medius Flow - IFS Integration

     

  2. Used OCR and AI web-services to perform invoice recognition as @ROVECH specifies above. In this case, you can upload PDFs through Novacura, get a response from the AI service, edit, and approve it before sending it back to IFS. IBM Watson offers a service for this. https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/compare-comply?topic=compare-comply-invoices
