The Certify AP Automation Process

1. Online Requisition

An employee requests goods or services with pre-determined, custom approval process.

2. Requisition Approval

A requisition is approved automatically and turned into a PO.

3. Electronic purchase order to vendor

Sent for product fulfillment as soon as an approval takes place.

4. 2-way and 3-way invoice matching

Line items are additionally matched and automatically approved or sent for exception approval if discrepancies appear.

5. Processing and payment

Invoices are matched and routed for approval. Once approved, invoices are paid early via Emburse B2B Payments to take advantage of additional discounts.
