Enabling Invoice and Payment Collaboration: Easily Implement Functionality to Support Customers' Online Invoicing Initiatives
With Ariba's invoice and payment solutions, you can submit invoices to your customers via an easy-to-use system. You gain collaborative presentment, validation, and payment remittance advice that streamlines communication with your Ariba customers. The result is a far more efficient, automated, and collaborative invoice and payment process. At the same time, you gain real-time visibility across the entire invoice-to-payment process. Now you can see trends (such as invoice rejection rates), view approvals and payments at a glance, monitor pending invoices and payments, and see rejected invoices that you need to take action on.
Ariba makes it quick and easy to implement these solutions so you can support your customers' online invoicing initiatives and become their preferred supplier. In most cases, you can be up and running in just hours. Once you demonstrate competency in the automated online invoicing collaboration process, you can access value-added services available through the Ariba® ReadyTM and FastTrack Invoice programs.
