RQ AP Flow

Invoice to pay, configured around your ERP and your approvers. Multi-channel capture, exception-aware routing, and posting back to your ERP.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AUTOMATION

The real problem, solved

Vendors send the invoice. RQ AP Flow pays it.

AP teams spend their days chasing invoices, matching POs, and re-keying approved bills into the ERP. RQ AP Flow closes that gap so cash goes out cleanly and your team gets their time back.

  • 01

    Invoices arrive everywhere

    Pain

    Email inboxes, scanned PDFs, vendor portals, shared drives. No one knows where the full backlog actually lives.

    Solved byPillar 01

    Multi-channel capture

    Invoices flow in from email, scan, API, or RQ CloudOCR with field-level extraction and confidence routing.

  • 02

    Manual PO matching

    Pain

    AP clerks flip between systems to match invoice line items to POs and receipts, line by line, every day.

    Solved byPillar 02

    PO and 3-way matching

    Automated 2, 3 and 4-way match against POs and receipts before anything hits an approver.

  • 03

    Approvals in inboxes

    Pain

    Approvers chase invoices over email and Slack. Nobody knows what's pending, who has it, or when it will move.

    Solved byPillar 03

    Exception-aware routing

    Clean invoices route to posting. Exceptions surface to the people who can resolve them, on a matrix you control.

  • 04

    Exceptions stall the queue

    Pain

    Discrepancies, missing POs, and vendor mismatches sit in limbo because there's no path to resolution.

    Solved byPillar 04

    Exception resolution queues

    Mismatches, missing POs, and price variances land in a dedicated queue with the context and tools to clear them fast.

  • 05

    Re-keying into the ERP

    Pain

    Approved invoices get re-typed into Vista, JDE, or Sage. Errors, duplicates, and missed discounts follow.

    Solved byPillar 05

    Automatic ERP posting

    Approved invoices post straight into Vista, JDE, Sage, Acumatica, or NetSuite. No re-keying, no duplicates.

  • 06

    Payment runs are manual

    Pain

    Check runs, ACH files, virtual card uploads, all separate processes, all disconnected from the approval trail.

    Solved byPillar 06

    Payment flexibility

    ACH, virtual card, or check, configured per vendor. Or hand-off to your existing payment provider.

  • Approval matrix you control. Routing by amount, project, GL, vendor, or entity. Configured, not coded.

  • Exception queues. PO mismatches, new vendors, and price variances surface to the right resolver, not the whole AP team.

  • 3-way and 4-way matching. PO, receipt, and invoice (plus contract, when needed). Tolerances per vendor.

  • ACH, vCard, and check. Per-vendor payment method. Hand-off to your processor or pay through RQ Suite.

  • Full audit trail. Every approval, edit, and exception captured with timestamp and user. SOX-ready.
