    A solid AP automation platform once the processes are configured properly

    4.0
    Jul 17, 2026
    We use Basware AP Automation with SAP to manage invoice capture, matching, approval routing, and exception handling. Before the implementation, too much of the process depended on shared inboxes, manual data entry, and follow-up emails to approvers. Basware has given the AP team much better visibility into where each invoice is in the process. It is easier to see whether an invoice is waiting for approval, has a matching issue, or needs additional information. This has reduced the amount of time spent searching through emails and responding to basic status questions. The biggest improvement has been with PO-backed invoices. Once the matching rules were configured and the supplier data was cleaned up, a larger portion of those invoices could move through the process with limited manual work. The audit trail is also useful during month-end and when responding to internal or external audit requests. The implementation required more effort than we expected, but the system has made invoice processing more consistent and easier to monitor.

Basware AP Automation Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like having invoice capture, matching, approvals, exceptions, and status information in one system. The AP team can quickly see why an invoice has stopped and who needs to take action. The approval history and audit trail are also very useful. We no longer have to reconstruct the process from emails when someone asks who approved an invoice or why a payment was delayed. For standard PO invoices, the automation works well once the matching rules and master data are in good shape.
