The accounts payable department also know as AP is responsible to increase controls and reduce time taken to process accounts. By changing the accounts payable procedures this can be accomplished. One way they are able to do this is by using an work process automation system. Documents can be organized and put into virtual filing cabinets which can be called up with a keyword. With the use of this system costs will be reduced and there will be stronger controls over the AP invoice review and approval process.

By eliminating paper documents the department will save time looking for paper documents and files. This in turn will lead to increased productivity. This also reduces the instances of lost documents and late payments. Because it is online several people and several departments can access the documents at the same time.
