Business pain points
- Costs mainly occur in professional service procurement, travel and entertainment, premises and office, and technical systems and outsourced consulting, with many expense entries, a wide range of single amounts, and the need to be collected separately by project and entity. Input VAT invoices are scattered among departments and handlers, uniformly submitted to finance at month-end, and finance centrally completes entry, authenticity verification, duplicate checking, and certification within the closing window, with the processing pace entirely driven by the invoice arrival pace. Manual entry itself is a source of errors, and one entry error propagates along certification, deduction, and vouchers
- Supplier invoicing status cannot be grasped in real time, and enterprises can only passively receive notifications after risks occur. Invoice arrival times are disconnected from business occurrence times, erupting in a concentrated way before month-end closing
- Whether an invoice is voided, red-ink reversed, or already reimbursed repeatedly can only be compared by manually checking records, and cannot cover the full volume
- Anomalous invoices often only surface at the certification stage, by which time payment has been made and the business is closed, making recovery difficult. After China Golden Tax Phase IV, tax comparison tends toward full quantification; once the authenticity and compliance of input invoices have problems, they directly affect deduction and cost recognition, and the frequency of enterprises being questioned by tax authorities increases noticeably
Solutions
- Achieve centralized management and full lifecycle tracking of input invoices, with the status of each invoice from entry to archiving queryable at any time
- Move authenticity verification, duplicate checking, and compliance validation forward to the invoice collection stage, intercepting anomalies before booking to avoid subsequent input tax transfers
- Establish multi-dimensional collection capability by project, department, and supplier, so cost accounting and expense attribution no longer rely on manual splitting
- Ultimately forms an auditable input VAT data foundation, enabling instant retrieval during tax inspections and internal audits
- And enabling business, finance, and tax to work on the same set of data, so business initiation, financial review, and tax compliance no longer each use their own standards
