Invoice: Master Data and Interfaces
Invoice uses master data to recognize, validate, account, approve, and export invoices correctly.
Relevant Master Data
Typical master data includes:
- addresses and suppliers
- bank details
- accounts
- cost centers
- VAT codes and tax rates
- payment terms
- internal bank accounts
- accounting periods
- currencies
Master-Data Quality
Good master-data quality reduces manual corrections. Invoice can help identify suspicious or duplicate records, such as duplicate supplier addresses, missing bank details, invalid account assignments, or outdated payment terms.
Reliable master data is especially important for AI rules, duplicate detection, workflow routing, ERP exports, and payment preparation.
Interfaces
Invoice can be connected to existing ERP and accounting systems. Examples include Abacus, Sage 50, Accounto, Revolver, and customer-specific integrations.
Typical integration tasks are:
- automatic master-data synchronization
- export of accounting entries
- export of invoice documents
- handover of open items where supported
- import of status information from the target system
- import of paid status or payment feedback
The concrete interface depends on the target environment, available licenses, supported import/export formats, and the agreed business process.
