Campfire's Accounts Payable module automates the entire procure to pay cycle from invoice capture through payment execution and reconciliation. Deeply integrated with procurement and general ledger, it uses intelligent document recognition, three way matching, and configurable approval workflows to reduce processing costs while maintaining strong financial controls and complete audit trails.
Reduce invoice processing costs by up to 80 percent, capture more early payment discounts, eliminate duplicate payments, and gain real time visibility into payables obligations and cash flow requirements across your entire vendor portfolio.
Campfire's Accounts Payable module manages the entire procure to pay cycle from invoice receipt through payment execution and reconciliation. A centralised payables ledger records every vendor invoice, credit note, debit note, and payment with full transaction details, giving finance, procurement, and operations teams instant access to accurate vendor account information. Deep integration with procurement, expense management, and the general ledger ensures payables transactions flow through automatically with the correct accounting treatment across multiple entities and currencies.
Campfire eliminates manual invoice processing with AI powered document recognition that extracts data from invoices in any format including paper, scanned images, PDFs, and electronic formats. The platform automatically captures vendor name, invoice number, line item details, quantities, prices, tax amounts, and payment terms with accuracy rates that improve over time.
Three way matching automatically compares invoice details against purchase orders and goods receipts, flagging variances and routing only genuine exceptions for review. For invoices that pass all matching criteria, Campfire approves and schedules payment without manual intervention, enabling true touchless invoice processing that reduces cost per invoice and accelerates cycle times.
Campfire routes invoices and payment requests through configurable approval chains based on amount, vendor category, cost centre, expense type, and budget availability. Sequential and parallel approval workflows support multiple approvers with intelligent routing that determines the correct path for each invoice based on your organisational hierarchy and delegation rules.
Real time budget checking validates invoices against available budget before routing for approval, purchase order compliance verification ensures invoices match authorised orders, and duplicate invoice detection prevents the same invoice from being processed twice. A complete audit trail documents every approval action with mobile friendly access for approvers on the go.
Campfire's payment scheduling engine analyses approved invoices and automatically creates optimised payment proposals that consider early payment discounts, vendor payment terms, cash flow projections, and bank balance targets. The platform supports multiple payment methods including electronic funds transfers, virtual credit cards, automated clearing house payments, wire transfers, and cheque printing with intelligent routing based on amount, vendor preferences, and transaction fees.
Centralised vendor master data management with duplicate detection, onboarding workflows with tax identification verification and bank account validation, and self service vendor portals where suppliers can submit invoices and check payment status reduce administrative overhead and strengthen supplier relationships.
Campfire's payables dashboard displays key performance indicators including invoice processing cycle time, cost per invoice, touchless processing rate, early payment discount capture, on time payment percentage, and open payables balance. Detailed analytical reports cover spend by vendor, category, and business unit, approval workflow bottleneck identification, and vendor payment term compliance trending.
Automated tax withholding reports, goods and services tax reconciliation, vendor payment reporting for regulatory filings, and internal control effectiveness metrics simplify audit preparation. Predictive analytics use historical patterns to forecast future payment obligations and identify potential cash flow constraints.
Campfire replaces manual invoice processing with intelligent automation, three way matching, and optimised payment scheduling that can reduce invoice processing costs by up to 80% while improving accuracy and compliance.
