Accounts Payable Services Specialized Invoices
Customers can use API’s Accounts Payable service in conjunction with API’s Pre-Payment Audit for selected invoice types such as:
Utility Bill Payment
The timely processing and payment of utility bills is critical to all companies. One missed payment can result in a significant disruption to the business. It is extremely difficult for companies which have multiple office locations to be able to monitor various rate plans, capture detailed usage and cost data and identify errors in the bill before payment. API’s Utility Bill Payment Service uses advanced technology to ensure utility invoices are correct and paid in a timely manner. This service relieves customers from the responsibility of receiving bills, entering them into a central repository and running comparisons to historical data to identify irregularities and errors. API’s Utility Bill Payment Service can be integrated with third
party energy management systems which allow customers to actively
manage usage and cost reduction programs to reduce energy usage.
Additionally, pre-payment or post payment audits can be performed to
prevent or recapture over payments. Billing discrepancies can be resolved directly with the utility provider.
Freight Bill Payment
Travel and Expense Report Management The timely processing and payment of expense reports is essential to the well being of all companies. Delayed payments can result in employee frustration and have a significant impact to employee morale. Monitoring adherence to company employee expense policies is also crucial. API’s Expense Report Management Service incorporates all of the features and benefits of API’s Accounts Payables service and adds the capability of expense report audits. Reviewing expense reports and receipts is essential for companies to identify and eliminate expense fraud. Companies can choose to audit all expense reports or only a portion of the reports submitted based on defined criteria. Random audits on a certain percentage reports submitted and/or audits of reports with transactions over a certain dollar threshold can also be performed. API’s Expense Report Management Service enables customers to take advantage of API’s technology and resources to prevent or identify expense report fraud. |
