AP Automation That Governs the Invoice

Basware automates the invoice process from receipt to ERP transfer. It captures invoices from any channel through SmartPDF and e-invoicing, runs compliance and duplicate checks, codes each invoice, matches it to purchase orders, routes exceptions, and manages approvals. Approved invoices then transfer to your ERP.

Accounts payable automation is software that handles supplier invoices from receipt to ERP transfer without manual keying and chasing. It automates capture, compliance and duplicate checks, coding, matching, exception handling, and approval routing. Basware AP automation sits within Invoice Lifecycle Management, which adds continuous compliance, fraud protection, and enterprise-wide visibility.

Basware is built for organizations running invoice operations across multiple countries and ERP systems. It harmonizes AP processes globally, validates fiscal and commercial compliance, and gives shared service centers one centralized platform, all without rearchitecting the existing ERP environment.

Yes. Basware connects to SAP (including SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud ERP), Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and 250+ other systems through prebuilt connectors and open APIs. It works alongside your ERP rather than replacing it: Basware handles capture, checks, matching, and approvals, then transfers approved invoices to the ERP. Multi-ERP groups get one workspace.

Basware is a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Accounts Payable Invoice Automation Software, Q2 2026, and in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Accounts Payable Applications. Gartner positions Basware highest of all Leaders, and Forrester scored Basware highest in the Strategy category, with a perfect 5.0 across all six strategy criteria.

Basware’s AI captures and reads invoices, proposes coding, matches invoices to purchase orders, and flags exceptions and fraud signals. Governed Autonomy lets finance decide how far it acts: as adviser, collaborator, or operator. Every AI decision is logged, traceable, and auditable.

Basware validates fiscal and commercial rules before an invoice enters the workflow, with 60+ country mandates maintained centrally. Duplicate detection, bank account and supplier verification with Trustpair, and AI fraud signals run before approval, so risk surfaces before any money moves.

Look for software that handles PO and non-PO invoices in every format, matches flexibly at line level, and connects to all your ERPs without replacing them. Check that compliance covers every country you operate in, fraud checks run before approval, and AI decisions stay explainable and under your control.
