When it comes to handling logistics, financial flows, and other business critical information there are very few systems that measure up to Oracle E-Business Suite. The Oracle E-Business Suite is one of the most widely used business systems in the world but no matter how efficient your Oracle system is, there is still one tedious and time-consuming process which involves excessive number-of-staff entering information by hand, and that process is getting invoices into the system.

Document automation is the technology that can help speed up the invoice entry process. Document automation automatically extracts information from invoices regardless of if it's on paper or in electronic format. This information is then verified against Oracle E-Business Suite, creating a highly automated document flow.

Utilizing document automation will add to the company's bottom line, save time, allow for faster financial statements, and fewer late payment fees, better business processes, and increased control. This paper will demonstrate how to automate the AP process within Oracle E-Business Suite, what type of investment will need to be made and what kind of benefits can be expected.
