Companies that rely on DocBits

Still keying supplier invoices into Infor LN?

If your team still types in supplier invoices, chases approvals by email or spends hours matching purchase orders in Infor LN, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to stay stuck there.

It’s rarely Infor LN itself. It’s everything that happens before an invoice gets there: PDFs and scans in every supplier layout, e-invoices arriving alongside paper, approvers on holiday, and price differences that only surface when the month-end close is already due.

DocBits takes over exactly that part. Your team keeps working in Infor LN – just without the typing. More for accounting teams →

How it works in your Infor LN Process

Your suppliers keep sending invoices the way they do today. What changes is what happens next.

Invoices come in as usual

By email, scan or e-invoice – all in one inbox. Nothing changes for your suppliers.

DocBits reads and checks them

Header and line items are captured with over 96% accuracy, in any layout and over 120 languages, then checked against your LN purchase orders and goods receipts.

Your team handles the exceptions

Matching invoices need no manual work. Deviations and approvals go to the right person, based on your rules. 

Invoice approval →

Infor LN gets clean data

Checked invoices are handed over to Infor LN for posting and payment – without re-entry.

E-invoices included

XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and PEPPOL invoices land in the same inbox as your PDFs and run through the same process – no separate workflow. In Germany, businesses have had to be able to receive e-invoices since January 2025 (source: IHK).

Price and quantity differences caught early

DocBits compares every invoice line with the order and goods receipt in Infor LN – 2-way or 3-way, within the tolerances you set. You see deviations before posting, not at month-end.

No duplicate supplier data

Your supplier master data stays in Infor LN. DocBits uses it to recognize suppliers and check invoices, so nobody maintains suppliers twice.

Frequently Asked Questions ​

How can I automate invoice processing in Infor LN?

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.

Can supplier invoices be posted to Infor LN automatically without middleware?

Yes. With a natively integrated solution, invoice data is transferred into Infor LN without a separate middleware layer or custom scripts. DocBits connects directly to Infor LN and hands validated invoices over to the standard LN process, where posting follows your configured rules and approvals.

How does PO matching work for supplier invoices in Infor LN?

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.

How can Infor LN receive and process e-invoices like XRechnung or ZUGFeRD?

Structured e-invoices are read from their XML data, validated and then processed like any other supplier invoice. DocBits receives XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and PEPPOL 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.

Which AP automation tools integrate natively with Infor LN?

Several AP automation and IDP solutions offer integrations with Infor LN. When comparing them, check four things: whether the integration 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 is one such platform, with native Infor LN integration and LN customers including Sefar and BÜCHI.

How can supplier master data stay in sync between Infor LN and an invoice automation tool?

The most reliable approach is to keep Infor LN as the leading source and synchronize supplier data from LN to the automation tool. With DocBits, new and changed suppliers in Infor LN are available for invoice validation without double entry, so supplier recognition and matching run against current LN data.

Which documents besides invoices can be automated in Infor LN?

Typical candidates are incoming customer purchase orders, supplier order confirmations and delivery notes. DocBits processes these document types through the same Infor LN integration, so further processes can be automated without adding a new platform.
