Yokoy Invoice at a glance

invoice-management-how-it-works

How Yokoy Invoice works

Capture supplier invoices in Yokoy from different sources: through manual upload or data entry, email upload, or through API for e-invoices through our partners. Integrate Yokoy with your accounting software for full, end-to-end automation.

Our AI technology scans the entire invoice, extracting header and line item fields, and suggesting a GL coding automatically.

Yokoy ensures all invoice data is accurate and complete, preventing errors, duplicates, and fraudulent items. The tool automatically performs 2- or 3- way matching, for an error-free process.

The document is routed for approval based on company-specific workflows, based on cost object, supplier, or line manager. In case of mismatches between invoices, POs, and goods receipts, Yokoy triggers automatic notifications to prevent unapproved payments.

Prevent late payments, track payments with ease, and be audit-proof. With direct ERP connections, Yokoy books the invoice document directly in the ERP, with all the accounting data required and the audit trail of the approval.

Frequently asked questions​

Yokoy Expense and Yokoy Invoice can be purchased separately, however Yokoy Pay is not available without also purchasing Yokoy Expense. Using the full suite provides greater benefits, as you can manage your expenses, invoices, and card payments in one central platform, and you can reduce system and data silos by simplifying ERP integrations.

The approval workflow can be defined flexibly based on the company’s needs. In order to give a higher level of automation and reducing processing time we recommend to set up either a cost object, supplier or line manager based approval workflow.

When a PO is in place, the invoice only needs to be manually edited in one place with one click: When it is reviewed to be approved. After that, the whole approval can be skipped because this has already taken place in advance by approving the PO, and the invoice data will be automatically exported to the ERP.

This can happen because the amount is not correct, it has already been paid in another way, etc. In this case, the finance team, which is responsible for approving the invoices after they have been uploaded, can simply delete the invoice in Yokoy.

Yes, although we serve both midsize and large customers, Yokoy’s added value is best experience by global enterprise customers. Our suite is built for complex, global multi-entity configurations, and integrates with most enterprise ERP & HRM tools such as SAP R3/S4 and Successfactors, among others.

This depends on the number of legal entities, the required configurations and integrations, as well as the readiness and responsiveness of the customer project team. For example, a global implementation with 4 legal entities, an ERP system integration, credit card integrations, and SSO setup could take from 2 to 6 months, depending on the level of standardization, the IT landscape and on how quickly required information can be provided. The project scope and duration will be individually assessed with you, by our certified Implementation Partner or our Yokoy Services Team.

We work with a number of qualified and certified partners who will lead the project from planning to implementation and testing, and will coordinate training workshops for your team. Global enterprise customers benefit from a dedicated Key Customer Success Manager, and can have the option of engaging our in-house experts for best practice consulting.

Data protection is a top priority at Yokoy. Your data is encrypted both in transit i.e. from your device to Yokoy and at rest in the cloud with a 256Bit AES encryption. Our cloud data is stored exclusively in the EU (Frankfurt, and St. Ghislaine, Belgium). Information about the security of the Google Cloud Data Center can be found here and about the compliance standards we follow can be found here. Last but not least what we as Yokoy do for data security and data protection can be found here.

Given that no two setups are the same, we’ll discuss your specific needs during the sales process, and provide you with a tailored offer that ensures you’ll get the most out of our spend management suite.
