DENVER (PRWEB) January 09, 2018 -- Oildex today announced it has rolled out five key enhancements to its OpenInvoice product line that improve the way buyers and suppliers collaborate to streamline their field ticket and invoice automation processes. Oildex made these automation enhancements via regularly scheduled updates to the OpenInvoice SaaS platform in the past 60 days.

These updates allow suppliers to reduce the number of days from work performed to Invoice submission by eliminating duplicate data entry and delays in the field ticket approval process, and by making it easier to submit fully populated and compliant invoices. Furthermore, they allow buyers to eliminate unnecessary steps and data entry when coding and approving invoices to reduce their invoice cycle times, pay their suppliers faster, and take advantage of more early pay discounts.

New functionality now available to OpenInvoice and Field Ticket users includes:

  • Buyer-Initiated Field Tickets With this new feature, buyers can create and submit a field ticket to themselves on behalf of their registered suppliers. Suppliers are able to easily convert those field tickets into invoices, decreasing efforts in submission, coding, and review due to a higher level of compliance.
  • Automatic Field Ticket and Invoice Coding by Product Classification OpenInvoice automatically applies the correct General Ledger code to an invoice or field ticket line item whenever the AFE, Cost Center, Purchase Category, or Item Master identifier changes.
  • Coding Field Ticket to Multiple AFEs and/or Cost Centers OpenInvoice now provides operator field approvers with the ability to allocate a field ticket to multiple AFEs and/or Cost Centers. The split allocations are automatically copied to the invoice at time of invoice submission, eliminating the manual process.
  • Price-Validated Field Tickets Field tickets can now be automatically validated against an OpenInvoice price book, providing field approvers with real-time price compliance validation. This provides a higher level of confidence that costs are accurate when entered into reporting systems.
  • Invoice Auto-Approval Based on Ticket Approval

OpenInvoice buyers now have the ability to further streamline the invoice approval process and significantly reduce invoice cycle times. This new capability provides buyers with the ability to automatically approve an invoice, if presented to the same user who had approved all of the field tickets used as backup on that invoice.
