If you’re reading this, then it’s highly likely you suffer some sort of pain when it comes to invoices. Even in Marketing I feel the ache too but nothing in comparison to our colleagues in Accounts Payable.
We recently filmed a webinar with Mary Schaeffer based on her research of the most painful areas Accounts Payable staff feel when it comes to invoices. What struck me was just how many people surveyed have the same issues with 37% experiencing at least 5 or more invoicing headaches, everyone in the survey could identify at least one area that caused issues.
If you’ve experienced the pains listed below I’d highly recommend spending an hour watching the webinar, or skip through to find your specific headache and the cures outlined by Mary.
-
Slow Approvals
-
No PO number or requisitioner name
-
Incorrect recipients
-
Manual data entry
-
Duplicate invoice submission
-
Missing invoice information
-
Missing out on Early Payment Discounts
-
Duplicate invoices with new invoice numbers
After watching the webinar you’ll have a good idea of how to re-engineer processes to eliminate bottlenecks and how you should communicate these changes to your internal departments.
