This document outlines a presentation about automating accounts payable (AP) processes. It discusses challenges with manual, paper-based AP workflows and how digitizing and automating invoice processing can help. Examples of automation include capturing invoices electronically through scanning, email monitoring, and application integration. A document management system called Webdocs is demonstrated for indexing, storing, and routing invoices through an approval process. The presentation concludes with a demo and Q&A.

AP 101: How to Automate Your AP Processes and Improve ROI OCR and the Challenge of AP Scanning Statistics about OCR (Optical Character Recognition) • Accuracy is not actually 95%+ — An OCR engine will read 95% of the indexed characters (not documents) — An OCR engine that is 95% accurate is used on a 9- digit field, so the true accuracy is 69.8% (95% to the 9th power). OCR is only as good as print and scan quality • DPI is increased, increasing your storage size • Barcode accuracy is 99.9% accurate.
