Sage Invoice Processing Automation – Find out more about the new trend among Sage users.


Sage Developer PaperLess Document Management for Sage Businesses receive invoices every day, and struggle to organise them efficiently. In order to achieve this Finance Departments are looking for a smart invoice scanning solution to speed up their workflow process for efficient invoice processing that at the same time allows them to efficiently manage all their documents.
Although there are many solutions available, Finance Professionals have realized that they need something that integrates with the software they already have in place, so that they can maximize the return on the investment while reducing the downtime to only a few hours. For Finance Departments using Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 200 Business Suite and Sage 200 Extra Online the solution created by Sage Developer, PaperLess Europe, is clearly the preferred option.
How does PaperLess software work?
Paper invoices can be scanned directly into the PaperLess workspace by using PaperLess printer. When businesses receive invoices electronically via emails, use PaperLess Add Documents function to drag and drop documents from emails or computer to the PaperLess workspace. It is easy to organise and edit documents in PaperLess.
PaperLess does more than invoice scanning. After scanning invoices into PaperLess, the PaperLess Automatic Invoice Recognition feature extracts relevant data from invoices into the PaperLess workspace. PaperLess invoice recognition uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, which quickly extracts the relevant accounting data from the invoice so the accounting transaction is created for posting into your accounting application. PaperLess enables businesses to edit, approve and post directly to their existing accounting applications such as Sage. PaperLess integrates seamlessly with Sage, meaning there is no need to give up your current accounting application when going paperless. Every time accountants post a transaction with the relevant document attached to Sage synchronisation happens instantly in the background.
The PaperLess invoice scanning solution digitises all your paper invoices into one single workspace, runs invoice recognition and sends them for document approval, then posts them to your accounting application directly. PaperLess helps your organisation to complete the entire workflow within one workspace so your organisation can save time, increase profit and reduce risk.
Can I work Online?
Using Remote Access, the PaperLess invoice scanning solution enables multiple branches to work more efficiently on the same server. This means invoice recognition can also be run on scanned invoices in PaperLess anytime and anywhere via the Internet. The secure Remote Access looks and feels the same as PaperLess workstation version. There are no requirements for terminal server solution. All it needs is an internet connection. Bandwidth requirement is low as you only view documents when needed.

Sage Developer PaperLess Document Management for Sage
In order to face these challenges, the company decided to add PaperLess Document Flow to its license so documents can be sent for approval using PaperLess software. This module allows the company to automate document flow based on supplier, project, department or cost unit responsible, meaning that when Automatic Invoice Recognition is run, the system will automatically know where the invoices need to be sent, speeding-up the invoice approval process even further.
Also, by using PaperLess Document Flow for Sage, UKFast now has the entire audit trail of the invoice approval process directly linked to Sage transactions. Ryland sees this as “a great addition to the software when we get it in full swing” with users being able to retrieve documents, accounting information and the entire approval history in a matter of seconds, just by doing a simple look-up from within Sage.
The reduction of paper consumption and easy access to archived invoices as opposed to folders and hard copies were among some of the main goals that led to the implementation of PaperLess software by UKFast. As well as many other benefits, the company considers these goals to have been fully achieved and believes the gains will go even further with the implementation of the document flow module.
