OpenText Accounts Payable

Improve efficiency, responsiveness and compliance by aligning key business processes and supporting transactional data

Accounts Payable (AP) departments in today’s global organizations operate under increasingly strict and fluctuating requirements. From satisfying external customer demands to meeting increasingly stringent financial controls, a lot depends on the productivity and efficiency of the department. The effective management of invoices significantly impacts vendor relations, corporate profitability and the ability to support compliance requirements.

Whether your organization processes several hundred or several thousand invoices daily, an A/P solution can help ensure that your invoice processing operations run smoothly, regardless of workload or the proportion of staff members to incoming invoices. By seamlessly integrating with Oracle E-Business Financials, OpenText Accounts Payable for Oracle E-Business Suite (formerly Livelink ECM - Accounts Payable for Oracle E-Business Suite) provides a robust image repository and workflow solution engine to streamline your organization’s Accounts Payable business.
