Functionalities
An invoice automatically filled in for each supplier
The application offers the possibility of specifying default values for each supplier. This offers users the advantage that these data are automatically filled in when a future invoice arrives from the respective supplier. This way, not only time is saved, but this functionality also reduces the risk of making mistakes.
A secure authorisation with the authorisation workflow
In the application, the authorisation flow of an invoice can easily be determined by setting an order for users within the application. This workflow can also be provided with specific criteria, with the aim of having the right invoices go past the right people, thus ensuring secure authorisation. The audit trail of an invoice can always be traced.
Work more efficiently with the help of accounting templates
The application features easy-to-use accounting templates that can be deployed within different situations. With the help of these templates, standard entries are immediately filled in for the user, allowing the system to take a lot of work off the users' hands.
More grip on administration with Costsplitting
The application offers the possibility of dividing an invoice into separate entries. The general ledger accounts and VAT rates are automatically retrieved from the connected ERP or accounting package. Depending on the connected package, various additional differentiations can also be applied.
