Improving Invoice Processing Efficiency with Oracle WebCenterImproving Invoice Processing Efficiency with Oracle WebCenter

Improving Invoice Processing Efficiency with Oracle WebCenter

Situation

Metropolitan Water District had been processing paper invoices by manually sorting and routing them for entry into Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). Overwhelmed by paper and labor-intensive inefficiencies, MWD sought an automated, image-based solution to overcome its business challenges and limitations. Key objectives included:

  • Eliminate reliance on and storage of paper invoices and supporting documentation;
  • Reduce manual data entry, which was time consuming and affected timely payments;
  • Automate manual exception processing to decrease overall processing time;
  • Introduce systemic routing for supplier maintenance and information requests;
  • Leverage a single content repository;
  • Enable authorized users to access invoices directly from within E-Business Suite;
  • Enhance the solution to streamline line-pairing, taxes, and freight.
Let’s Create Progress Together!

The combination of Oracle WebCenter’s AP Automation technology with AST’s experienced and knowledgeable staff set Metropolitan on the best path for success in efficiently processing 100% of its invoices. The customizations we sought were accurately built by AST to meet our workflow, batching, and reporting requirements. We know the resulting cost savings and efficiencies will be substantial.
