Xero Connected Accounts Payable Automation Software
Intelligent Accounts Payable Integration with Xero
Lightyear automates manual data entry and streamlines the accounts payable (AP) process for Xero users and businesses. Within one intuitive cloud platform, Lightyear provides a robust approvals workflow to manage the invoice approval process. Line item invoice data is extracted, coded and automatically reconciled before being sent to Xero for payment. Invoices are stored digitally for 7 years, enabling a truly connected and paperless office in the Lightyear Cloud.
Supplier Cards, Categories, Tax Codes, GL's are all transmitted on a line by line basis. Invoice file and Invoice URL are also sent for ease of reference between the 2 systems for unparalleled detail and efficiency.
