Translation of the invoice into the target format of the ERP system
After checking the essential invoice characteristics, the invoice is converted for further processing in the ERP system. Before the transfer, the DIG software checks the order reference, i.e. whether the invoice data corresponds to the order data. This checking process is called a two-way match because only two items (invoice and purchase order) are compared and is primarily used for procurement processes with low or medium risks. In addition, an automatic match can also be made with the goods receipt: With this three-way match, it is still checked whether the goods or services have actually been delivered by checking the corresponding entry in the ERP or eProcurement system (usually for higher-risk issue categories with further control levels). Only when all these parameters match is the invoice data transferred with an OK flag and a dark posting can theoretically be made - i.e. payment without further manual checks.
