Does QuickBooks Have Invoice Management?
QuickBooks can help AP teams manage invoices. However, ERP systems are by design a complicated system to use. As a result, they can be customized to fit an organization’s needs. However, visibility into the invoice management process is enhanced through AP automation platforms like MineralTree. Additionally, MineralTree allows companies to use data upon invoice capture for analytics.
