Abstract:

Computerized method and system for an entire enterprise's intelligent management of accounts payable electronic processing are provided. All functions (e.g., Servicers, direct ship parts, e-time, e-logistics, and e-invoicing, etc.) across the enterprise are integrated into comprehensive, robust electronic automation of all domestic and international business transaction types (i.e., all internal and external suppliers) yielding a total payables solution. A database provides storage of accounts payable data for each of a plurality of purchase transactions. Rule-based logic and expert system validation checks are performed to ensure compliance and accuracy. A plurality of Web pages including hyperlinks is configured to link over a communications network to an enterprise managed Web site enabling authorized account access to the system. The system offers suppliers on-line, interactive self-help and remittance advice. The system also provides various types of electronic data formats to support supplier automation. An enterprise may “open” a Purchase Order (PO) in support of a business transaction and notifies the assigned supplier of this action. The supplier accesses online their account to obtain PO information. The supplier provides the goods/services accordingly. Electronic receipt of goods is acknowledged and/or an electronic invoice (e-invoice) is generated, (e.g., e-invoicing enables automated cost verification). Settlement may be validated by the rule-based expert system checks and accomplished via electronic means. Upon settlement, the PO is closed and the transaction completed.
