FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the digital
invoice workflow in SharePoint

What added value does digital and automated invoice processing offer?

Digital and automated invoice processing not only saves you time, but also money. Faster processing allows you to reduce processing costs. Location-independent invoice verification speeds up the process. You can also fully digitise the process handover to your tax advisor. The centralised availability of documents in our archive gives you greater transparency across the various departments. The fast, simple and legally compliant archiving of invoices ensures a continuous process without media disruptions.

How does the reading of the information on the invoice work?

This works by means of OCR. “OCR” is an abbreviation for “Optical Character Recognition” and means “optical character recognition”. When digitising invoices, OCR text recognition captures all the characters on the invoice. Rules and patterns are used to extract the invoice date, amount, VAT ID and other relevant properties from the characters. In conjunction with artificial intelligence and with the help of the master data, further data can be determined or checked for plausibility on the basis of these properties.

What is the standard approval process?

Invoices are received by e-mail or on paper.
In the case of e-mail invoices, these are received automatically via an e-mail function mailbox.
Paper invoices, on the other hand, can be received via the d.velop cloud-based scanning software, for example, and then forwarded to SharePoint.
Once in SharePoint, the invoice is automatically analysed and classified in the background.
Furthermore, a release workflow is started, which automatically informs the relevant employees about new tasks.

Who has control over the invoice approval process?

The financial accounting department has control over the process. Financial accounting employees can see exactly which invoice is in circulation with which employee.

Do I still have to keep my paper receipts if they are in the digital archive?

The paper invoices can be destroyed if the digital process is categorised as GoBD-compliant. This is generally to be expected with our system, but must be confirmed again by an auditor. For this purpose, a procedural instruction must be created that contains technical documentation and further explanations of the invoice processing procedure, which serves as the basis for the auditor’s assessment.
Our application has received a software certificate in accordance with IDW PS880. This confirms that, when used correctly, documents can be stored online in an audit-proof manner. Further information on the subject of security can be found on our website. You can decide which documents or folders you want to archive in an audit-proof and therefore GoBD-compliant manner.
