Infor LN Invoice Automation — From Inbox to Posting

Connect an intelligent document processing (IDP) solution that captures invoices, extracts the data, matches it against LN purchase orders and hands validated data over to Infor LN. DocBits does this natively for Infor LN: invoices in any format are read with over 96% accuracy, matched at line level and routed for approval. Infor LN remains the system of record for posting and payment.

Use a solution with a native Infor LN integration, so validated invoice data reaches LN without a separate middleware layer or custom scripts. DocBits connects directly to Infor LN: it uses LN supplier, purchase order and goods receipt data to check and match invoices, then hands them over to the standard LN process for posting and payment.

Invoice lines are compared with the corresponding purchase order lines (and, for 3-way matching, with goods receipts) on item, quantity and unit price. DocBits uses current purchase order and receipt data from Infor LN, matches each invoice line automatically within your tolerances and flags deviations for review before the invoice is handed over.

Structured e-invoices are read from their XML data, validated and then processed like any other supplier invoice. DocBits receives PEPPOL, XRechnung and ZUGFeRD invoices in the same inbox as PDFs, matches them against Infor LN purchase orders and hands them over to LN. Since 2025, businesses in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices.

The best fit depends on four points: whether the integration with Infor LN is native or needs middleware, whether matching runs at line level against LN purchase orders and receipts, which e-invoice formats are supported, and whether there are reference customers on Infor LN. DocBits covers all four: it integrates natively with Infor LN, matches at line level, supports PEPPOL, XRechnung and ZUGFeRD, and is used by LN customers such as Sefar and BÜCHI.

Most teams start with supplier invoices and then add order confirmations. DocBits reads both in any format, checks them against purchase orders in Infor LN and flags deviations. Supplier master data stays in LN and is used automatically for supplier recognition, so nobody maintains suppliers twice. Optionally, suppliers can submit invoices through a supplier portal.

With an intelligent document processing (IDP) solution connected to Infor LN. Typical documents are supplier invoices, incoming purchase orders, order confirmations and delivery notes. DocBits processes all of them through the same Infor LN integration: it reads the data in any format, checks it against LN data and hands it over to Infor LN.

Order-to-cash in Infor LN starts with incoming customer orders. DocBits captures them from any format – PDF, email or scan – extracts the order data, routes it for approval and creates the sales order in Infor LN.

Supplier order confirmations are compared with the original purchase order in Infor LN – items, quantities, prices and delivery dates. DocBits reads confirmations in any format, matches them against your LN purchase orders automatically and flags deviations, so your purchasing team only handles the differences.

DocBits works with Infor LN in all LN-based CloudSuites, including Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, CloudSuite Aerospace & Defense and CloudSuite Automotive. In each suite it uses the same native LN integration, so invoices, order confirmations and customer orders are processed the same way regardless of the industry suite.
