YOUR -PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AT WORK
‣Areas that generate income:
‣ “Match to PO” and “Copy and Distribute” and “Queued for Processing”
‣Rules within the Workflow system will route the PO and the Invoice to appointed party for processing.
‣ “Data Entry & Allocation”, “FILE” and “Archive”
‣Use ‘advanced capture’ to extract data from pages as they are scanned. Then, output images and index values into an ECM system to automated the filing [and archival] process.
‣ “Prep Client Re-bill”, “Attach Backup Invoices” and “Send Invoice”
‣A second process. Used when part of a larger invoice is “re-billed” to several parties. Simply configure another workflow [$$] to automate the process. No additional scanning/indexing needed.
