Beyond Manual AP —
Extended Across Your Supplier Base
Even suppliers connected for automated ordering often still send invoices manually. A practical look at what that's costing your team, and how to close the gap without asking anyone to adopt a new system.
The Opportunity
- A supplier connected through punchout or a hosted catalog often looks fully automated — but invoicing is frequently still manual, arriving by email or PDF
- 68% of organizations still manually key invoices into their ERP, even with an eProcurement platform already in place
- Manual invoice processing costs $10–15 per invoice on average — automated processing brings that down to roughly $2–3
- Manual payment cycles commonly run 10–14 days; automation shortens that to 3–5, which matters for capturing early payment terms
What's Inside the Guide
- Why so many of your suppliers still send manual invoices despite being connected for automated ordering
- How e-invoicing and ASN are built on the PO automation your suppliers already have — no new system for your team
- What's required for the invoice and PO data reaching your ERP to be complete, accurate, and legally enforceable
- The cost and cycle-time case for extending this across more of your supplier base
- A paced rollout path that lets your team validate the model before scaling
