Business value
Organizations typically pay vendors according to a set of rules that apply to their specific circumstances. For example, they might rank vendors in order of importance and pay their most important vendors first. Other organizations might use one or more different methods of categorizing their vendors and pay vendors in specific categories on specific days. Automating this process helps organizations apply their own schedules to create vendor payment proposals more consistently and efficiently than is possible using a manual process.
Feature details
A new process automation framework allows accounts payable (AP) managers to define automation schedules that define what vendors will be paid, and when they'll be paid. The payment proposal series allows the AP manager to define the criteria for selecting vendor invoices for payment.
