Invoice management software helps companies automate tasks related to invoice processing. When companies or accounting departments receive invoices, these invoices typically go through an approval process, after which their information is matched with sales and purchase orders, as well as payments. Invoice management software streamlines this workflow by scanning invoices, reading and pulling data into the system, and transferring payments electronically. Some solutions offer a mobile application for remote viewing and approval, in addition to payment allocation and account selection for each payment. Once invoices are processed, they are stored either in the cloud or on premise for easy access at a later date. These tools will often allow manual data entry for invoices in addition to automatic data capture.
