Automate Invoice Processing in Infor CSD Cut Time by up to 85%

From PDF capture to ERP posting. Eliminate manual data entry, accelerate PO matching, and cut processing time radically!

Infor CSD

Your distribution business processes hundreds of invoices daily. Every manual entry costs time, introduces errors, and delays payments. DocBits integrates seamlessly with Infor CloudSuite Distribution—extracting invoice data automatically, matching it against purchase orders and receipts, and posting validated invoices straight into your ERP. No manual typing, no double entry, no delays!

Invoice Processing in Infor CSD: Do you recognize this challenges?

  • Manual Data Entry Slows Everything Down

    Your AP team is drowning in invoices. Every PDF, email attachment, or scanned document means someone has to manually type supplier details, line items, quantities, and PO numbers into Infor CloudSuite Distribution. At hundreds of invoices per week, this isn't just tedious—it's a bottleneck.

What this costs you:

  • 3-5 days processing time per invoice during peak periods
  • 5-10% error rate leading to payment disputes
  • Qualified staff stuck in data entry instead of strategic work
  • PO Matching Takes Hours When You Have Partial Deliveries

    Infor CSD's 3-way matching is powerful—but only when you can find the right PO and aggregate multiple receipt documents for partial shipments. When suppliers split deliveries across weeks or change prices between PO creation and invoicing, your team spends hours manually reconciling exceptions.

Common headaches:

  • Missing or wrong PO numbers on supplier invoices
  • Partial shipments with receipts scattered across warehouses
  • Price variances that need manual approval routing
  • Tolerance threshold guesswork on quantity discrepancies
  • Disconnected Systems Force Double Entry

    Using a separate OCR tool or document management system that doesn't integrate with Infor CSD? That means exporting data from one platform, verifying it manually, and re-entering it into your ERP. Every handoff introduces errors. Every reconciliation burns hours.

The real cost:

  • Duplicate data entry across platforms
  • Zero visibility into invoice status across systems
  • Limited audit trails for compliance
  • IT resources wasted maintaining custom integrations

DocBits Key Benefits for Infor CloudSuite Distribution Users

Eliminate 90%+ of Manual Data Entry

Free your AP team from typing. With automated extraction and validation, manual input drops to only genuine exceptions—typically non-PO invoices or unusual cases requiring human judgment. Redeploy skilled staff to higher-value work: supplier negotiations, payment term optimization, and financial analysis that directly impacts margins.

Maintain Audit-Ready Compliance Automatically

Every action—from document capture through validation, matching, approval, and Infor CSD posting—is logged with timestamps, user information, and supporting documentation. Auditors can trace any invoice from source PDF to final payment without manual reconstruction. Simplifies both internal controls and external audits.

Scale Without Growing Your AP Team Proportionally

Your invoice volumes grow as your distribution business expands, but your AP team doesn't need to scale at the same rate. DocBits handles volume increases automatically—500 invoices per month or 50,000, processing speed stays consistent. Critical during peak seasons, new product line launches, or post-acquisition integration.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Automate Invoice Processing in Infor CloudSuite Distribution

Is there software that automates invoice processing in Infor CloudSuite Distribution?

Yes, invoice automation software exists. However, not all solutions work seamlessly with Infor CloudSuite Distribution—many require middleware or custom integration. DocBits is built specifically for Infor CSD users, integrating directly without middleware. It captures invoices from any format (PDF, email, scan) and posts validated invoices straight into your ERP.

Which software can solve the problem of manually entering invoices from different formats?

Document processing software exists, but most require extensive template setup for different formats. DocBits learns new invoice formats automatically using AI—no manual configuration needed. It handles PDFs, emails, scans, photos, and handwritten documents, extracting data (supplier, amount, PO reference) and validating against Infor CSD rules before posting.

What software solves invoice matching problems when PO numbers are missing or incorrect?

Basic invoice matching fails when PO numbers are missing or wrong—most systems just flag these as exceptions. DocBits goes further: it retrieves PO data directly from Infor CSD and uses contextual matching (supplier, amount, date range) to find the correct order. Truly unmatchable invoices route to approvers with full context for quick resolution.

What automation rate can we expect with DocBits in Infor CloudSuite Distribution?

Distribution companies using DocBits with Infor CSD typically achieve 60-80% straight-through processing for PO-based invoices—meaning invoices process automatically without manual intervention. Non-PO invoices and exception cases (price mismatches, missing data) are routed to approvers. Processing time drops from days to hours.
