General process overview

There are different steps in the KIS cycle, which are:

• Capturing of the invoice image (data) by
  • Scanning over the internet: web scanning
  • Mail attachment
  • Electronic invoice (XML) import
• Automatic recognition of the main header fields of the invoice.
• Import into the ScanPRO system.
• Validation process: accountants will validate the recognized header fields, evaluate the proposed accounting lines based on supplier templates or just add the necessary accounting lines.
  • The system checks the invoice data and accounting lines against control data such as periods and Vat tables.
  • Exception handling, in case there was a duplicate invoice detected, or something went wrong during the process, invoices which need special attention.
• Signing and annotating the invoice image, in order to legal archive the invoice image.
• Upon finalization the invoice data is exported to the accounting system.
• The accounting system will assign the voucher number and date and update the invoice information in the ScanPRO system.
• From then on the invoice image will be available for retrieval from the Accounting system.

A visual overview of the process can be found in [ appendix: General process flow].

The KIS application is fully integrated with your accountancy package. Suppliers, Accounts, currencies, payment terms, journals and periods are synchronized between both systems.
