What is Accounts Payable (AP) Workflow Automation? Even if your company uses such a system, do you understand how it works?
Automation of Accounts Payable can match invoices to Purchase Orders and Goods Receipts, route invoices to the appropriate parties for review and approval and can even apply company specific business rules. Learn the basics on how all this is done.
This course also includes an introduction to other automation options such as Electronic Receipt Settlement, Travel and Expense reporting, the management of Credit Card charges, Automatic Clearing House payments, and outsourcing the printing of checks.
Discover how data can be “moved” from a company’s system of record into any automation tool or software when needed. Understanding the flow of data can be instrumental in identifying the root causes of some issues. It can also benefit an AP Specialist interested in working on automation related projects.
Hear how automation software systems are implemented. Such projects do take time and resources. It has been my experience that Accounts Payable staff with even basic knowledge of automation can be a significant benefit to the team.

Hello Anne,
Can you tell me what are best practices for handling a vendor whose bank is deducting a fee from our payment to them causing us to short pay our invoices? We have confirmed that our bank is not the one deducting fees and they only deduct when an amount reaches a certain threshold.
