Incoming invoice process with Document Capture and M-Files in detail

With the seamless integration of M-Files and Document Capture, every step can be completed and you always get the best of both systems.

The individual steps in detail

1. read in the document

To get started with the invoice process, firstly the PDF files must be scanned in. These files can be automatically uploaded to M-Files or Document Capture either from specified email addresses or from a network directory for scanned documents. After that, they will be automatically forwarded from M-Files to Document Capture.

2. capturing (automatic document recognition) and "pre-accounting" or factual verification

The system supports you in reading out header and line information. Order and delivery matching is also no problem. In this step, all relevant metadata for the further steps in M-Files (setting invoice approvers and archiving incl. metadata) are defined.

 

3. document registration (creation of the EC invoice in BC)

The registration of the "captured" or extracted document creates an A/P invoice or credit note in Business Central. This automatically overwrites the extracted information into both the BC fields and the metadata for M-Files.

4. professional examination (approval)

Do you have a two- or three-stage approval process? You want to add comments? You want to assign approvals to "teams" instead of individuals? All of this is possible with M-Files' graphical workflow designer. Due to the flexibility of the designer, many clients choose to do the approval in M-Files rather than in BC.

5. booking in Business Central

After the approval is completed, the accounting department is informed that the invoice can be posted. The document in M-Files and the invoice card in BC are each hyperlinked.

6. audit-proof archiving in M-Files

When booking, all linked documents are transferred to the booked invoice card in Business Central. In addition, the DMS Connector also updates the booking in the workflow for the document in M-Files. An extension of the integration into the payment process is also possible.
