For organizations using Infor SyteLine, managing day-to-day manufacturing operations feels intuitive, efficient, and precise. The ERP was built with complex industrial workflows in mind, and it delivers. But when it comes to accounts payable (AP), many finance teams still rely on manual workarounds that don’t reflect the power or flexibility of the SyteLine system they’ve invested in.
At Nimbello, we believe in building on what’s already working. That’s why our AP automation solution integrates directly with Infor SyteLine to bring intelligent invoice processing and streamlined workflows into a system your team already knows and trusts. We don’t replace what’s good — we enhance what’s possible.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the common challenges Infor SyteLine users face when it comes to their AP workflow, and how automation helps solve them:
Infor SyteLine provides a strong foundation for financial operations, but the accounts payable process can still feel disjointed. But these issues don’t mean SyteLine is lacking; they point to areas where purpose-built automation tools can help extend its capabilities.
Without an integrated AP automation solution, like Nimbello, the accounts payable process can become a mix of spreadsheets, disconnected documents, and manual entry. This can significantly slow down your financial operations, especially for organizations managing a high volume of PO-based invoices.
Because SyteLine doesn’t have built-in optical character recognition (OCR), invoice data needs to be manually keyed in. This not only adds time to the process but also increases the potential for human error and takes your team away from more strategic work.
In an automated system, invoices arriving by email, scan, or upload are automatically captured and digitized. OCR and machine-learning technology then extract key invoice data, check it against your PO and vendor records, and flag any mismatches before approval begins.
Without automatic invoice routing, approvals may happen via email, in spreadsheets, or through manual handoffs. This can make it difficult to track who needs to review what — and when or if items get approved. And if an approver is out of office or unaware, an invoice may become stalled, which may lead to late payments or strained vendor relationships.
Most AP automation solutions offer custom routing rules that allow you to build workflows that reflect your business structure. Each invoice is tracked from start to finish, with time stamps and audit logs to maintain visibility.
Purchase order (PO) matching is an essential part of AP, especially in manufacturing. But when the process is done by hand, it’s easy for discrepancies or duplicates to fall through the cracks. Adding multi-line POs and partial deliveries into the mix can make the process more time-consuming.
Designed for PO-heavy environments, AP automation solutions — like Nimbello — accurately and quickly match invoices to purchase orders and receipts. Partial shipments, freight charges, and other common complications are handled easily, while exceptions are marked for review.
When invoices, receipts, and approvals live across different folders or platforms, it’s tough to track invoice status. Teams spend time hunting for paperwork instead of managing cash flow. Audits become more difficult, and visibility across departments is limited.
With a comprehensive AP automation solution, all invoice documentation is stored in a central digital archive. Your team can search by vendor, date, amount, or PO number to quickly and easily find what they need, whether for a payment status update or a year-end audit.
The Nimbello platform isn’t just compatible with Infor SyteLine. It was built with SyteLine users in mind.
