AP Automation for Dynamics GP with Multi-Entity Management (MEM)

Many businesses with multiple entities need to be able to run transactions for all payables and receivables through a central office, let each entity manage its own transactions, or a combination of both. This can be hard to do with Dynamics GP alone.

Organizations using Microsoft Dynamics GP can use Binary Stream’s Multi-Entity Management (MEM). MEM for Dynamics GP accurately posts the due-to and due-from journal entries across multiple General Ledgers inside a single Dynamics GP instance, while still upholding role-based permissions.

Capturing Invoice Data

Many companies manually enter invoice data into their ERPs. Some will print out emailed invoices and manually key in the information. The good news it is possible to eliminate manual data entry, reduce manual errors, and reduce the likelihood of fraud all in one stroke.

There is one workflow for automating the data entry of paper and emailed invoices. Paper invoices are scanned with OCR technology that reads the information on the invoice and extracts essential data. Emailed invoices are electronic documents with a data layer, and cloud capture technology extracts the data from the data layer. In both cases the invoice data is populated inside Rillion’s invoice processing dashboard.

Approval Workflows

Many companies have gone through the painfully expensive exercise of trying to code workflows into their ERP. Truth is, ERPs were not built for approval workflows. Rillion has a complete approval workflow that distributes invoices to the right approvers. It’s a configurable solution with mobile capabilities and ad-hoc rerouting.

PO Matching

Rillion automatically matches purchase orders to invoices and goods receipts. The technology transfor­ms AP departments in that the matching takes place in minutes without anyone having to review the documents. If there is no match, the system flags the invoice and sends all the information to the proper approver to reconcile.

Archive and Audit

For auditors and company investig­ations, Rillion stores all vendor invoices and provides a time-stamped audit trail. That’s a big time saver for AP staff as everything is searchable in the cloud.
