Features – Sage 200 accounts payable automation

AP Workflow

  • Have visibility into Accounts Payable balances and payment/approval status
  • “Drag & Drop” approval workflows, ad hoc routing
  • Approvals are made directly in email or a mobile device

“No more finger pointing! We can see where
the bottleneck is and address it.”

2 & 3-way PO matching

Palettes unique cascading matching system can handle matching against purchase orders at the header or line level. In a “no match” situation, or if a non-PO invoice arrives, workflow takes over. This ensures the appropriate approver or exception handler promptly gets notification and access to the information needed to clear the exception, creating an effective Sage 200 invoice processing workflow. Exceptions are flagged for reconciliation.

  • Invoices, purchase orders, and goods receipts are matched by the software
  • Match items at both the header or line level, whether it is 50 lines or 500 lines
  • Complete audit trail of approvals and communications become part of the transaction record

“The intuitive interface means fewer calls for
assistance from people using Palette”

Lisa | CIO

Recurring Invoices (or Contracts)

Repeated invoices are matched to account numbers or contracts, posted to the proper charge codes and approved for payment through Sage 200 invoice processing automation. Reminders are sent when a contract is about to expire. If required, expenses are split between different departments.

  • Repeat invoices are matched to account numbers or contracts
  • Self-billing for contracts that do not have vendor invoices
  • Manages spending and renewal process
