• Abel and Acume PlusOne

  The interface between Abel and Acume PlusOne makes for an efficient Accounts Payable workflow.

  1.Supplier Purchase Orders are created in Abel in the usual way.
  2.The Acume PlusOne workflow starts via an API request on Abel for a list of Supplier master data and open supplier orders and deliveries.
  3.A PDF Supplier Invoice arrives directly into the Acume PlusOne inbox or the Accounts Payable team member sends the supplier invoice to Acume PlusOne.
  4.PlusOne searches for the matching Abel Purchase Order and Supplier Delivery.
  5.Once matched the Supplier Invoices (created in Abel by Acume PlusOne) completes their lifecycle within Abel in the normal way i.e. payment, financial postings and closing.
  6.Most cases can be matched automatically by Acume PlusOne. A few exceptions will require human intervention.
