Incoming Supplier invoice

Am trying to receive supplier invoice from 3rd party application and register into LN Cloud Edition; I see no BoD for incoming supplier invoice. In that case, I am guessing I should make a Custom BOD and retrieve incoming files from sFTP server and maybe process the document and use an API (API seems available but no BoD) to populate LN tables. I would like to validate if this is the normal approach or there is any simpler way....?

Also, can FTP be used or only sFTP for Cloud Edition? Thanks

We have an integration with LN Cloud for inbound Supplier Invoice. We use standard BOD Process.SupplierInvoice and it generates a Purchase Invoice in LN CE.

Do you see Process.SupplierInvoice BOD in your implementation?

I have a Proof of Concept project soon for Purchase Invoices using MS Syntex. Is there any signposts or thoughts for automatic processing of invoices being received by email?

(I've not looked at anything yet, this thread just came up and was interested!)

Thanks Jaime... it sounds more like i see only 16 BoDs in my catalog. Maybe time to fill up by talking with Infor.

Infor has released new APIs involving new tables tfacp700 for receiving incoming invoices and processing. this is in LN. Worth looking at it.

Hello,

1. You need to create a custom BOD in the Data Catalog. The easiest way to create the custom BOD is to use File Templates.
2. Then you can use the Mapping to convert your custom XML BOD to the Sync.Supplierinvoice.
3. Using the Data Flow you can receive the file from sFTP, convert it to Sync.Supplierinvoice, and send to LN via API.

Please note that Mapping is only available in the Cloud version.

Kind regards,
Danil

Hi Andrew,

In our experience with Ephesoft & Kofax projects, you want a dedicated email inbox per company and you need to encourage your suppliers to submit 1 pdf per invoice. Suppliers send all sorts to these inboxes, so you'll need to teach them that these inboxes are solely for purchase invoices. You may need to forward emails to the dedicated inboxes until they get the message or you'll end up with everything OCR'd.

Sure... It is good to see incoming documents and being archived for file verification later compared to verify digitally the calls in Oneview. I would experiment this. It is still passing the XML contents to the available API so data passes through the staging AP tables.
