How does it work?

PDFs less than or equal to 10 pages begin processing automatically, as soon as they hit your Inbox, and will be ready for review within one (1) business day.
- Note: Auto Bill Entry can process one bill per document.
You can take over a document at any time, even if it's already started processing. Just select the "processing" bar on the document, and then select Cancel, I'll add details myself.
Once the bill is ready to review, it'll appear back in your Inbox. We'll send you a daily digest email, letting you know which documents are processed and ready for review, and whether we were unable to process documents. You review the details and select Save. That's it!
New vendor or updated vendor details? No problem. Auto Bill Entry gives you complete control. When you review a bill with unrecognized vendor info, you can choose how you want to proceed—create a new vendor, use an existing vendor, or add the new vendor info to an existing vendor.
