Purchase Invoice Processing Automation Using RPA

Our client was facing issues with a lot of repeated and mundane human tasks. The most time consuming among those was to manually enter the data while creating invoices in their Sage X3 system. Since the data entry processes take up a lot of time, our client was getting their payments delayed and there were a couple of issues of incorrect data creeping in. The manual invoice processing was creating bottlenecks in their financial operations and affecting their ability to maintain timely payment schedules with suppliers.

HLB HAMT designed and developed a BOT to automate the data entry process inside the Sage X3 system. The solution involved the BOT automatically logging into the Sage X3's system invoice module, creating new invoices by inputting the data into the system, with the source of this product-related information data being a pre-filled spreadsheet. The invoice is created one by one, and the document number is auto generated against each entry. Once all the invoices are generated, the excel file is populated with the document numbers. These numbers help our clients to verify if the document is created in the system. The RPA solution was implemented quickly without tinkering with any of the existing IT infrastructures, providing faster, error-free integration with the Sage X3 ERP platform.

The integrated RPA solution accelerated the client's business processes by many folds as a lot of manual, repetitive works were automated, allowing the organization to exceed delivery & service level expectations. The automation eliminated manual data entry errors, significantly reduced processing time for invoice creation, improved payment scheduling accuracy, and enhanced overall operational efficiency. The client was able to process invoices much faster and with greater accuracy, leading to improved supplier relationships and better cash flow management.
