PDF invoice processing converts PDF invoices received from suppliers into a standard digital format and processes them in the same way electronic invoices received via EDI are processed.

With TrueCommerce PDF invoice processing, suppliers simply send PDF invoices to a specific email address. We convert PDF invoices sent to this address into a standard electronic format and process them like any other digital invoice.

Although PDF’s are electronic files they do not have a standardised structure in the same way EDI messages have. Consequently, receiving PDF invoices without a PDF invoice processing solution and automated workflow in place still poses a challenge to organisations.

Businesses that receive high volumes of PDF invoices will still experience many of the challenges associated with paper invoices. With no automation in place the processing of PDF invoices adds to their AP department’s workload as opening and processing the invoices will require human intervention, with the need to print and scan or rekey invoices into their accounts package.
