e-Invoicing FAQs
What is e-Invoicing?
E-invoicing (also referred to as electronic invoicing) automates and streamlines the process of receiving invoices from suppliers. E-invoicing delivers a number of benefits to buying organizations receiving a high volume of invoices annually, including:
- Lower invoice processing costs
- Fewer errors and exceptions
- Faster invoice processing and approval
- Better visibility into suppliers and spend
- Improved cashflow forecasting
How do B2B/EDI Connections and e-Invoicing work together?
High-volume suppliers prefer a direct, B2B integration via EDI or XML so they can send invoices directly from their ERP systems without any manual effort required. Given that most of your invoice volume comes from this small set of suppliers, this is a great place to start in your e-invoicing journey.
Do you have a supplier portal where suppliers get visibility on invoice status?
The major benefit of the Basware Network is the supplier portal, where suppliers get real-time visibility into invoice and payment statuses, without having to call your AP department. They can flip Purchase Orders into invoices, upload invoice information using templates, or even key in invoice information for simple, one-off invoices.
What if my suppliers already use their own e-Invoicing network? Is there network interoperability?
Interoperability means you can connect electronically to more of your suppliers. With network interoperability, your suppliers that may use another business network to transmit financial data can continue using that network to send invoices and information to you. No change on their end means higher supplier adoption.
What if I receive mostly PDF invoices?
If your email inbox is overwhelmed by PDF invoices that require manual handling, we can solve that with SmartPDF - our automated data capturing service for PDF invoices. This service simply takes any PDF invoice and automatically turns it into an electronic invoice. If you already have a dedicated email inbox for supplier invoices, a simple redirect is all you need to do.
What if I have suppliers that insist on paper invoices?
Like you have a supplier that still insists on paper invoices. Basware helps you convert their invoice data into an electronic format. When you receive a paper invoice, you can either scan and validate the invoice data yourself or let Basware do it for you. By using Basware to help, your organisation eliminates the need to handle paper invoices.
How do you support supplier enablement for e-Invoicing?
Basware Supplier Enablement Services accelerates and simplifies the process of onboarding suppliers. With these services, you can efficiently manage supplier onboarding campaigns, ensure a successful digital transformation, and improve supplier relationships. The onboarding process is supported by modern and easy-to-use tools, making onboarding a snap.
