Frequently Asked Questions
What invoice formats can Acume process in Accounts Payable workflows?
Acume processes both PDF and Peppol eInvoices through a unified, configurable workflow, applying the same coding, validation, and approval rules regardless of the format.
Why use Acume for Peppol eInvoicing instead of a third-party tool?
Acume is MBIE-certified eIvoicing-ready software, which means you can send and receive eInvoices via Acume. (We'll assist you in the right eInvoicing adoption for your business).
How are supplier statement reconciliations automated in Acume?
Any mismatches, missing invoices, or duplicates are flagged, with a clear audit trail for resolution. Supplier statements are automatically matched against invoices that have been received in Acume.
What purchase order capabilities does Acume support?
Acume can process inbound customer orders to support sales order creation. On the supplier payables side, Acume can import POs from your ERP or jobbing system for matching to Invoices, or you can create, send and then receive Purchase Orders for your suppliers from Acume.
What data capture technologies power Acume’s invoice and document processing?
Acume uses AI, OCR, and proprietary rules engines to extract and normalise data from PDFs, scanned documents, Excel files, and Peppol eInvoices.
