Comparing automated 3-way matching and AI invoice extraction against manual AP invoice entry and paper approval cycles.
Executive Evaluation Verdict
Manual accounts payable costs $12–$16 per invoice with processing cycles taking 15+ days, missing early payment supplier discounts. AI invoice processing matches line items, validates GL codes, and writes to ERPs in 24 hours.
Manual Accounts Payable Processing
AP clerks opening email PDFs, re-typing invoice rows into ERPs, manually matching purchase orders, and routing email approvals.
