EDI Processing Software
What is the Cashbook EDI processing upload module?
In many sectors, such as the Automotive and FMCG market, EDI files are commonplace. The Cashbook EDI upload module automates the uploading and cash application of customer remittance data from an EDI file directly into the ERP system. Cashbook automatically uploads EDI files and runs specific auto-matching on EDI remittance files. The module replaces the manual task of entering paid invoices one-by-one and generally achieves high matching rates as the customer data is usually high-quality and based on pre-defined customer-supplier reference information.
