How ECM supports accounts receivable and accounts payable

Accounting teams handle invoices, posting documents, approvals, and correspondence every day. ECM centralizes these documents, links them to their transactions, and automates processing so accounts receivable and accounts payable status stays visible.

Automated reviews & approvals

Digital workflows route document reviews and approvals to the right departments and stakeholders, documenting responsibilities and status at every stage to cut manual coordination and idle time.

Transparency & traceability

Central status tracking documents every change, approval, and process step, giving accounting teams visibility into open transactions and a solid foundation for audits and internal controls.

Why accounting teams choose Doxis

Invoices, receipts, and posting-relevant information arrive through many channels and systems. Doxis links this content to its business transactions and brings document management, process control, integration, and audit-proof retention together on one ECM platform.

Document management & digital files

Invoices, posting documents, and correspondence stay organized by customer or vendor, so authorized staff find everything in one transaction.

Automated reviews & approvals

Digital workflows route reviews, approvals, and clarifications by defined rules, cutting the manual coordination and idle time between steps.

Integration with ERP and finance systems

Doxis connects to existing ERP and finance applications, so documents and business data sit in their proper process context.

Intelligent document processing

Incoming documents are classified and key data extracted automatically, so manual entry drops and documents move faster through review.

Audit-proof archiving

Invoices and tax-relevant records are archived by rule, with retention periods and logged changes ready for internal and external audits.

Traceability & reporting

Processing status, approvals, and process steps are logged centrally, giving owners a clear view of open items and bottlenecks.

Compliance & access control

Role-based permissions govern access to sensitive financial data, while defined retention and deletion rules keep privacy and compliance under control.

A scalable platform for finance

One ECM platform supports every document-based finance process, and can extend later with dedicated SAP P2P and O2C solutions.

AI built for finance work

Finance documents are dense with amounts, dates, and compliance requirements, which is exactly where generic AI assistants fall short. Doxis pairs AI that reads and understands your invoices and financial records with AI answers your finance team can actually verify, so every insight traces back to your own documents, never a black box.

AI-powered content understanding for finance teams

Finance teams lose hours every week digging through vendor files to find an invoice amount, a payment term, or an approval status. Doxis's AI-powered content understanding reads and classifies every invoice and financial document as it enters the system, so that information is already waiting when you need it.

  • Automatically classifies invoices and vendor documents and flags missing fields
  • Extracts vendor, amount, due date, and line items as invoices come in
  • Keeps every invoice, voucher, and document version in one searchable vendor file
Man archiving a document audit-compliantly via the cloud

Ask AI questions your finance team can verify

Invoices and payment data hold especially sensitive financial information, so a wrong AI answer is a bigger risk here than almost anywhere else. Ask Doxi respects the same access controls as the rest of Doxis, so employees only see what they're authorized to see, and every answer can be checked.

  • Only surfaces documents and data the employee is authorized to access
  • Links every answer back to the source invoice, vendor file, or contract
  • Runs on-premises or in a private cloud, fully GDPR and ISO 27001 compliant
  • Combines chat, AI search, and specialized assistants such as an invoice-matching checker in one panel

Is your legacy AP or AR system holding you back?

Discontinued support, scattered invoice archives, and manual data transfer between finance systems can hold your accounting team back. Doxis helps you replace outdated invoice archives and legacy AP/AR software, such as OpenText VIM, with a modern, structured vendor and customer file connected to the SAP and finance systems you already run.

Choose the deployment model that fits your business, whether on premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.

FAQs about ECM for accounts receivable & accounts payable

What is ECM for accounts receivable and accounts payable?

It is enterprise content management applied to finance operations: invoices, vouchers, order confirmations, and related financial documents are captured, stored in one repository, and connected to workflows and your ERP system.

What is vendor accounting software?

Vendor accounting software manages the documents and processes tied to paying vendors, including invoice capture, verification, approval, and posting to the ERP. Doxis adds document management and workflow automation to the accounting functions your ERP already runs.

Which invoice formats can Doxis process automatically?

Doxis captures invoices regardless of format, including scanned paper, PDF attachments, and eInvoices, and routes each one into the same automated verification and approval workflow.

How does Doxis connect invoice processing to SAP?

Invoice data is reconciled against order and billing data already in SAP or another ERP system, and released invoices are posted directly, fully automatically where the configuration allows it.

What happens when a new vendor is added to the ERP system?

Doxis automatically creates a digital vendor file containing the data and documents tied to that vendor, so accounting has a structured record from the vendor's first transaction onward.

How is accounts receivable different from accounts payable in Doxis?

Accounts payable in Doxis centers on inbound vendor invoices: capture, verification, and posting. Accounts receivable runs through Doxis O2C for SAP, which automates the document-driven stages of order-to-cash, including sales order capture, outbound e-invoice dispatch, and archiving.

Does Doxis support international e-invoicing formats?

Yes. Doxis Billing dispatches outbound e-invoices in the national, international, and industry-specific formats each market requires, from the pan-European PEPPOL network to country-specific formats such as Poland's KSeF, Italy's SDI, and Romania's e-Factura, across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

How does Doxis support audit and compliance requirements?

Every status change to an invoice or order is logged, and tax-relevant documents are archived automatically according to statutory retention periods, so records are ready for an audit without extra preparation.

Can accounts payable and accounts receivable run on the same platform?

Yes. Doxis runs vendor invoice processing and O2C-driven customer billing on the same platform, connected to the same ERP, so both sides of the ledger share one document repository.
