Invoice Capture & Data Entry
Our software is designed for end-to-end AP automation. As each part of your process is completed, IntelliChief automatically moves the invoice to the next step in the sequence. IntelliChief “robots” are designed to mirror the actions taken by your team when manually reviewing and processing an invoice. However, they don’t just replicate these actions, they learn to execute them faster and more efficiently while also keeping monitoring for discrepancies and exceptions.
As invoices arrive, Capture Enterprise can save them to an electronic repository; no need to send them to a centralized location for processing. It can monitor any email address or fax network that you use to communicate with your suppliers, importing each document as it’s received.
For paper-based invoices, all you have to do is scan them in. You don’t need to prepare each document for imaging, or manually enter each vendor, invoice number, due date, or distribution code into Infor. Our software will create an electronic image of each invoice, read the data off of the page using OCR technology, and send the information to your Accounts Payable application.
Invoice Validation
As each invoice is captured, IntelliChief robots compare to the corresponding purchase order and receipt. Your team doesn’t have to manually compare each line item. Instead, the two- or three-way match is completed behind the scenes, using information from your purchase order and receipt tables in your Infor ERP.
Exception Processing
As part of the invoice validation process, our solutions can help you:
- Convert currencies for international transactions
- Confirm shipping charges, taxes, and other variable fees that are added after the sale (and make sure they’re properly coded)
- Normalize units of measure when the ordered quantities are different than the invoiced quantities
- Convert part numbers when you and your supplier use different codes for the same item
The more you use IntelliChief, the more intelligent it becomes. As you process invoice exceptions, our software “remembers” what you do, allowing it to take the same approach in the future. This increases the number of invoices that the system can process without end-user intervention. The higher your touchless processing rate, the less work that goes into your Accounts Payable cycle.
Invoice Payment
Any time an invoice can be successfully verified (and falls within your tolerances), IntelliChief automatically creates the payment voucher within Infor. Matched invoices go straight through. Your employees don’t have to get involved – and your transactions can be closed out long before they’re due.

Invoice Approval Routing
If you need to obtain a manager’s approval before you can pay an invoice, our software can send it to the right person (or people) for review. You can create different approval routes for all types of invoices and temporarily re-route invoices to other users when an approver is out of the office.
Users receive natural language prompts when something needs their attention, and all of the corresponding documents are instantly provided – letting them approve or deny requests in seconds. They can even complete their workflows on mobile and leave electronic notes explaining their reasons for rejection.
Invoice Coding
You can GL code your expense invoices directly from IntelliChief, without having to look up your Chart of Accounts in your Infor ERP. This lets users who don’t have an Infor license provide GL coding for purchases they requested. Once coded, the voucher will be automatically created – the same way that it would for a PO-based purchase.
