CORTEX is adept at managing and validating invoices received from vendors and partners, playing a crucial role in financial operations. For vendor invoices, CORTEX meticulously validates that the lines on the invoice accurately reflect the products ordered. Similarly, dealing with partners ensures that the invoice lines correspond with the previously received usage data. This thorough validation process is key to ensuring accuracy in billing and preventing discrepancies.
Once the invoice is validated, CORTEX seamlessly uploads it into the financial accounting system. It can automatically approve payments for invoices that meet predefined business criteria, streamlining the payment process and reducing manual intervention. However, in cases where manual approval is required, it efficiently facilitates this process. It issues notifications to the relevant approval team, drawing their attention to the pending invoice. CORTEX provides a user-friendly web interface displaying detailed data from the invoice for review. This interface also allows for the input of the approval decision, making the process straightforward and efficient.
Upon receiving the necessary approvals, CORTEX processes the payment of the approved invoices. Throughout this process, CORTEX maintains a high level of communication, issuing progress notifications at key stages and informing all relevant stakeholders about the status and progression of invoice processing and payments.
The validation and payment of received invoices are critical components of financial management within any organisation, requiring a high level of attention to detail and adherence to established policies. Each received invoice undergoes a rigorous validation process, carefully cross-referenced against corresponding purchase orders or contracts, as well as goods received notices (GRNs) or deliverable acceptance documentation. This step ensures that the invoiced items or services have been duly received and meet the agreed terms and conditions, safeguarding the company against inaccuracies or fraudulent claims.
Once an invoice is validated as legitimate and accurate, it must be processed for payment in accordance with the company’s payment policies. These policies dictate the timeframe and method of payment, ensuring that vendors are paid promptly and efficiently. Costs incurred must be accurately allocated to the relevant budgets. This precise allocation is crucial for maintaining budget integrity and providing clear financial insights into company expenditures.
Adherence to business policies is paramount, especially for high-value invoices or multiple invoices from a single supplier. In such cases, manual intervention is often required as an additional layer of scrutiny. This could involve higher-level approvals or thorough reviews to ensure the payments are justified and aligned with the company’s financial strategies and objectives.
