Integrations
Prebuilt connectors to accounting, ERP, and CRM systems like NetSuite, SAP, and Salesforce let invoices flow directly into financial systems, reduce manual entry, and maintain consistent master data between billing and procurement.
Consistent templates reduce billing errors, improve audit readiness, and provide clear traceability for lot-level invoicing while simplifying review by finance and quality teams.
Oversees invoice creation and validation, ensures accuracy of line items and lot references, coordinates approvals between procurement and finance, and maintains retention policies to support internal and external audits.
Verifies that invoice details align with batch records and lot traceability requirements, documents approvals for regulatory inspections, and requests corrective actions when discrepancies are found.
Finance, procurement, quality assurance, and contract manufacturing teams commonly rely on standardized invoices to ensure accuracy and traceability throughout the supply chain.
When templates are paired with secure electronic signing and role-based approvals, cross-functional teams can close invoices faster while preserving compliance evidence.
Prebuilt connectors to accounting, ERP, and CRM systems like NetSuite, SAP, and Salesforce let invoices flow directly into financial systems, reduce manual entry, and maintain consistent master data between billing and procurement.
Optical character recognition and configurable extraction rules can populate invoice fields from supplier PDFs or scanned documents, accelerating processing for legacy paper suppliers or email attachments.
Rules that trigger additional approvals for high-value or non-standard invoices help ensure appropriate oversight and reduce the risk of unauthorized payments.
Maintain version history of invoice templates so teams can track changes, roll back when necessary, and demonstrate control over document formats for audits.
Add searchable invoice tags for study codes, lot numbers, or cost centers to simplify reporting and retrieval during reconciliations or inspections.
Dashboards and exports filtered by approver, site, or study enable targeted financial reviews and faster dispute resolution across stakeholders.
Customizable field sets for POs, lot numbers, expiration dates, and study identifiers that enforce structured, consistent data entry across invoices and reduce manual errors during billing and reconciliation.
Rules-driven fields that show or hide sections based on product type, jurisdictional tax rules, or whether the invoice is for clinical or commercial supply, reducing irrelevant fields and improving clarity.
Configurable approval chains that require sign-offs from procurement, QA, and finance with sequential or parallel routing to meet internal controls and regulatory documentation requirements.
Immutable logs that record who accessed, edited, or signed invoices with timestamps and IP details to support audits and investigations without manual record keeping.
