ISPnext AP Automation handles invoice processing from intake through matching, approval, posting, payment, and archiving.
What ISPnext AP Automation is
ISPnext AP Automation handles invoice processing from intake through matching, approval, posting, payment, and archiving. It retrieves, scans, and reads PDF, XML, and paper invoices, including those arriving through inboxes and portals. Its nextAI recognition reads invoice headers and lines, including invoice numbers, amounts, VAT codes, and currencies. The system supports two-way and three-way purchase order matching and flags discrepancies at invoice-line level. Approval routes can be set by amount and budget, with each step recorded for traceability. Approved invoices can be exported to an ERP, paid on the due date, and retained for seven years with an audit trail. Standard integrations include SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, Infor, Oracle JD Edwards, and Exact; a documented API supports exchanging data such as orders, financial postings, payment status, documents, and audit trails. ISPnext says the platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure and cites ISO 27001, ISAE 3402 Type II, and GDPR-aligned controls. Pricing is paid and available on request.
