02 – The Problem

What happens to an invoice before AP automation.

01

AP receives PDF invoice

Downloaded, printed, date stamped.

02

Forwarded to branch

Scanned and emailed out for approval.

03

Branch manager

Printed again, GL coded, signed.

04

Returns to head office

Manual data entry into accounting system.

05

Payment verification

Printed a third time, physically checked before payment.

Observed in the field
Thirteen people. Three print runs. Zero intelligence added. Every touchpoint is the pure cost of moving data through an organisation with no infrastructure to do it any other way.

300 invoices a month, processed manually, is up to $126,000 a year in handling cost alone. Before you count the approval delays, the duplicate payments, or the fraud exposure.

05 – eInvoicing

eInvoicing isn't a feature. It's infrastructure.

In 2024, Australians lost more than two billion dollars to scams. Payment redirection remained a top-five attack on businesses – and the most common attack vector is the email channel itself.

The ACCC recommends the Peppol network specifically as a fraud countermeasure. Peppol removes the email channel entirely. No spoofed supplier emails. No fake bank-change notices. The attack surface where most payment-redirection fraud begins is simply not there.

Recommends Peppol eInvoicing as a specific fraud countermeasure. The vulnerability rarely starts with the invoice. It starts with the email channel behind it.
