Companies that rely on DocBits
Still Keying Supplier Invoices into Infor M3?
You open the PDF. You type the header data. You check whether invoice line 7 matches PO line 7. You chase an approval by email, and at month-end you’re still clearing deviations that could have been caught on day one.
Meanwhile, e-invoices arrive in formats your team has to convert or re-enter by hand.
That’s not an M3 problem. It’s a missing automation layer.
DocBits for Infor M3 adds that layer. It brings Infor M3 invoice automation and AP automation in front of your ERP, whether you run Infor M3 or Infor M3 CloudSuite. Your team stops entering data and starts reviewing the exceptions that actually need a person.

What Changes for Your AP Team
Every format, no templates
Local suppliers send PDFs. Others send scans, handwritten delivery documents or invoices with complex tables. DocBits combines OCR with machine learning, so it reads line items, tables and handwriting, not just text – with over 96% accuracy across more than 120 languages.
You don’t need to build a template for each supplier. When a supplier changes its layout, DocBits keeps learning from the documents you process.
PO matching at line level, with your tolerances
Your purchase orders are already in M3. DocBits matches incoming invoices against them line by line, using 2-way or 3-way matching and the tolerances you define.
Matched invoices move on without manual handling. Exceptions are flagged with the deviation highlighted, so your team sees right away what needs clarifying.
E-invoices that arrive ready for M3
DocBits reads structured e-invoices, validates the data against M3 and passes it on for posting. No re-entering data by hand.
Germany has required companies to be able to receive e-invoices since January 2025, and Belgium has made B2B e-invoicing mandatory since January 2026.

Approvals and GL coding before posting
You define who approves which invoices. DocBits routes each invoice to the right person and suggests GL coding based on your data, so invoices reach M3 already approved and coded.
Supplier master data in sync
Supplier master data syncs between DocBits and Infor M3. When you add a new supplier, you maintain one system, not two.
One Integration for Your P2P and O2C Documents
Invoices are usually where you start. With the same M3 integration, DocBits also automates the other documents in procure-to-pay (P2P) and order-to-cash (O2C):
PROCURE-TO-PAY (P2P)
Documents from your suppliers
Supplier order confirmations →
Checked against the PO before deviations turn into invoice problems
Delivery notes
Captured in the same platform
Handwritten documents →
Read without templates
ORDER-TO-CASH (O2C)
Documents from your customers
Customer purchase orders →
Checked against the PO before deviations turn into invoice problems
Everything runs on one platform, in one interface, through one integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which AP automation solutions work with Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage or Distribution Enterprise?
Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage, Fashion, Chemicals, Equipment and Distribution Enterprise all run on Infor M3. An AP automation solution with a native M3 integration therefore works across these editions. DocBits is one example: it captures supplier invoices in any format, matches them against M3 purchase orders at line level and delivers posting-ready data to M3, with the same setup for each M3-based CloudSuite.
Is OCR enough to automate invoice processing in Infor M3?
OCR turns a scanned invoice into text, but the AP work starts after that: identifying the supplier, reading line items, checking them against M3 master data and purchase orders, and routing exceptions. Intelligent document processing (IDP) covers these steps. DocBits combines OCR with machine learning, validates and matches the data against Infor M3 and passes only checked, posting-ready invoices on to M3.
What are the AP automation options for companies running Infor M3?
Companies on Infor M3 typically choose between three approaches: functions within the Infor ecosystem itself, broad AP suites that connect to many ERPs, and IDP specialists with a native M3 integration. DocBits is an example of the third approach. It captures invoices in any format, matches them against M3 purchase orders at line level and delivers posting-ready data to APS450. The right choice depends on invoice volume, formats and how many document types you want to automate.
How do you automate supplier invoice processing in Infor M3?
Automation replaces manual entry with a fixed sequence: capture, extraction, validation against M3 master data, PO matching, approval and posting. DocBits covers this sequence end to end for Infor M3. It reads PDFs, scans and e-invoices without templates, flags only the exceptions for review and transfers approved invoices to APS450. Your AP team then focuses on deviations instead of data entry.
Can invoices be posted to Infor M3 automatically without middleware?
Yes. DocBits connects to Infor M3 natively, without middleware or custom code. After extraction, validation and matching, DocBits delivers posting-ready invoice data directly to APS450. Whether an invoice posts without manual review depends on your rules: you decide which invoices pass automatically and which go to approval first.
How does three-way matching work for Infor M3 invoices?
Three-way matching compares the supplier invoice with the purchase order and the goods receipt. DocBits takes the PO and receipt data from Infor M3 and compares each invoice line on item, quantity and price against your tolerances. Invoices within tolerance move on. Deviations are flagged with the difference highlighted, so your team can resolve them before posting.
How can companies on Infor M3 receive e-invoices like PEPPOL or XRechnung?
To process e-invoices in M3, the structured data has to be read, validated and mapped to M3 suppliers and orders. DocBits processes e-invoices in PEPPOL, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Swiss QR and Fattura PA formats. It handles them in the same workflow as PDF invoices, matches them against M3 purchase orders and delivers posting-ready data to APS450.
Can order confirmations be processed automatically in Infor M3?
Yes, if your automation platform supports this document type. DocBits processes supplier order confirmations through the same Infor M3 integration it uses for invoices. It reads confirmed quantities, prices and delivery dates, compares them with the purchase order in M3 and flags deviations before they cause problems on the invoice.
