Key to the success of any AP e-invoicing project is getting suppliers to join you in your new venture. Most organisations transact with thousands of different suppliers, ranging from huge corporations to sole traders.

Therefore offering multiple connection methods is crucial. Accountis EIP offers 5 simple ways for suppliers to send you e-invoices, regardless of size or technical ability:

1. Paper to Data – We receive and scan all your inbound paper invoices and output the data directly into your ERP or finance system or Accountis Hub.

2. File Upload - Ideal for larger, high volume processors. Import invoice data directly into the e-invoicing Hub from any ERP system or finance package. Can be done manually or automatically.

3. ebPrinter – Generate an invoice using an existing accounts package but print to the ebPrinter virtual printer) instead of a local printer. This generates and sends an e-invoice to the Hub in the correct format.

4. Document Flip – Login to view an e-purchase order online, and create an e-invoice by simply “flipping” the PO.

5. Webscreen - Perfect for smaller businesses. Enter ad-hoc invoice details directly into the Hub using an online form.
