Business pain points
- For settlement between cargo owners and platform parties, waybill cycles and settlement cycles are staggered, and invoicing requests are raised centrally by month and by batch. After customers raise invoicing requests, business personnel relay them to finance, and finance fills out and delivers each invoice one by one on the invoicing end, with delivery mainly via email forwarding and offline mailing. Invoice number backfilling creates secondary workload, and when customers chase, it is difficult to quickly answer how far the invoicing has progressed.
- Abnormal scenarios such as red-letter reversal, partial red-letter reversal, and reissuance rely entirely on manual judgment and handling, resulting in long processing cycles. Issued invoices are stored in scattered locations, month-end reconciliation requires searching in multiple places, and annual aggregation repeats the process again
- Invoicing data is disconnected from business data, so management cannot see the overall invoicing situation. Under China Golden Tax Phase IV, invoicing data is fully reported, and inconsistency between invoice information and the substance of the business will directly trigger warnings, amplifying the risk of errors from manual invoice filling.
Solutions
- Achieve automatic flow from order to invoice, with invoicing triggered upon business completion and no manual intervention throughout the process
- Establish an invoicing rules engine, supporting automatic merging and splitting by customer and product, with scenarios such as full reduction, gifts, and partial returns handled by rules
- Red-letter reversal and partial red-letter reversal automatically match the issued blue invoice details to generate a working draft, which is executed in batches after finance confirmation
- Ultimately frees finance from issuing invoices one by one, so settlement peaks no longer become business bottlenecks
- At the same time, standard interfaces are reserved for subsequent access to Leqi Direct Connection and expansion of new sales channels, so business expansion is no longer constrained by invoicing capacity
