Business pain points
- With a huge number and complex types of invoices, as a conference intermediary, massive input VAT invoices are generated every month, with diverse invoice types and scattered sources, making manual collection and organization extremely burdensome
- Finance staff need to manually collect paper invoices, print electronic invoices, and enter them one by one into the system for verification, certification, and booking, resulting in low efficiency
- The authenticity and compliance of large amounts of invoices rely on manual judgment, and matching invoices to specific meeting project cost attribution is difficult, resulting in imprecise project cost accounting and long reconciliation cycles
Solutions
- Adopt an input VAT invoice management system to achieve online full lifecycle invoice management: supporting multiple collection methods such as mobile photo capture, batch scanner scanning, and electronic file upload, with OCR automatically recognizing full invoice information
- Connect to tax bureau interfaces in real time to automatically verify authenticity, block duplicate reimbursement, and provide instant alerts for abnormal invoices
- All invoices are centrally stored and automatically associated with purchase orders and expense items, forming a traceable input database
- Invoice status is synchronized to the financial system, supporting multi-dimensional statistics by project and department and automatic generation of deduction reports
- Paper invoice image storage and automatic archiving of fully digitalized e-invoice XML/PDF original files. The customer also purchased an additional invoice issuance for individuals cloud subscription the following year, covering meeting expert labor service scenarios
Results achieved
- The entire process of invoice collection, verification, certification, and archiving is online, project cost attribution can be accurately calculated by meeting dimension, and mixed paper-electronic archiving meets compliance requirements
