Automated invoice processing with Dynamics NAV

Invoice processing Dynamics NAV -> scanning or reading

Invoices that come in the post are scanned, invoices that come in by email, e-invoicing or a portal are read and are then ready to be processed in ImageCapture. At this stage you can assign the free fields such as administration codes and the date the invoice is recorded. These fields extract their information directly from your Dynamics NAV records and this means there is no need for periodic synchronisation with master data tables.

Invoice processing Dynamics NAV -> checking and coding

By making use of all available master data and record protocols in Dynamics NAV, ImageCapture offers an automatic entry proposal as a check and further coding of the invoice. In doing this all record fields, such as ledger accounts, cost centres, cost units and project codes are supported and can be exported.

For invoices that are often split into multiple lines, automated invoice processing with ImageCapture for Invoices offers the great advantage of line recognition. By doing this an invoice that has been read can be immediately presented as a proposed entry with multiple lines of codes.

Invoice processing Dynamics NAV -> checking and matching

In addition to coding cost invoices, purchase order related invoices can be immediately matched with outstanding orders and/or receipts in Dynamics NAV. In doing this, ImageCapture not only reads the invoice’s header, which matches the total value of the read invoice’s amounts received lines of the purchase order number, but depending on the invoice lay-out, also reads the invoice lines. The article numbers, numbers, description, gross and net prices are also read. Based on these, matching is carried out at on the purchase order at individual line level to reveal any differences in invoiced numbers and purchase prices.

If there are any deviations, administrative corrections can be carried out, such as the amendment of the expected purchase price or entering price differences and freight charges. In the cases of large disparities, the invoice will be created and put on hold, whilst awaiting the receipt and processing of a credit note.

Invoice processing Dynamics NAV -> entry and archiving

After the invoices have been checked and enriched, they are digitally archived and the entries are created in Dynamics NAV. The scanned invoices can be called up from the registered records.

Authorisation via workflow

You can also seamlessly connect the authorisation process when using ImageCapture Workflow. The records in the creditors system allow you to always be aware of the approval status and invoices no longer have to be physically sent. Any input costs are immediately visible to view on your summary screen. The invoice is only released for payment once the authorising officers have approved them.
