Systems Integration & APIs

Invoices that flow without the paper chase.

Connect your ERP to an accounts payable automation platform so supplier data, purchase orders, approved invoices and payment status move both ways, accurately and visibly.

The problem

AP automation only works if your ERP keeps up.

Paper invoices, printed emails and approval forms circulating the business make it hard to see what's been received, what's queried and what's been paid.

An AP automation platform helps capture and match invoices, but it needs accurate suppliers, purchase orders and receipts from your ERP, and your ERP needs the approved invoices and payment outcomes back. Without a dependable integration, finance teams end up re-keying, chasing and reconciling between two systems.

What the integration does

  • Publishes supplier and master data from your ERP to the AP platform.
  • Sends purchase orders so invoices can be matched.
  • Creates approved or final invoices back in your ERP.
  • Returns voucher numbers, posting outcomes and payment status.
  • Preserves tax and finance rules, and records every step for audit.
01 / How it works

A complete transaction flow, not just a data export.

01

Master data out

Suppliers and reference data are validated and published to the AP platform.

02

Orders out

Purchase orders are sent so incoming invoices can be matched.

03

Invoices in

Approved invoices are checked against your ERP's rules and created there.

04

Confirm

Identifiers and posting outcomes are confirmed and shared between systems.

05

Payment status

Payment status is returned, and failures are held for review rather than lost.

02 / Dennis Eagle

Medius AP automation connected to Avante.

As a Medius partner, we know AP automation from both sides. Dennis Eagle wanted to digitise accounts payable with Medius AP Automation, and we created a bespoke integration with their Avante ERP, running on UniData.

Master data and purchase orders are published to Medius, approved and final invoices are created back in Avante, and payment status is returned afterwards, so many invoices now flow through without anybody touching them.
