Doc-link is an integrated document management (IDM) solution that interfaces with Sage PFW toeliminate the bottlenecks associated with handling, filing, and retrieving paper documents. Bybringing documents to the desktop, doc-link dramatically increases productivity and enhancescommunication between customers, vendors, and employees.

With our configurable workflow module, traditional business processes for invoice approvals, audits, andvouchering can be done electronically. Our unique integration to Sage PFW enables side by side voucher entry, auto-indexing and retro-indexing to electronically link documents for three way reconciliation and auditing purposes.

Once documents are stored in doc-link, they can be viewed, annotated, faxed, emailed or printed - without the need toleave your desktop to look for files or missing paper documents!

Combined with Output Manager, our automated output management solution, you can establish recipient and routingschedules that enable you to deliver forms and reports to users based on their preferred method of delivery, format andschedule. Imagine, automatically faxing or emailing invoices and statements to customers, or automatically routingcopies of routine reports to sales representatives and department managers, and eliminating the costs associated withpostage and mailroom operations.

Assign to AP processor queueAll captured vendor invoices are electronically distributed or ‘assigned’ to an AP individual’sprocessor queues. Invoices can be pre-indexed to easily locate during the approval process.

4 Voucher invoicesEach accounts payable clerk receives approved invoices electronically from managers. A side-by-side view of the voucher entry screen and the invoice image enables AP clerks to easilyand quickly voucher invoices. Users can also review all supporting documents such aspurchase order, receiver, etc. from the AP Entry Screen.

Electronically approve invoicesThrough workflow and via the web, vendor invoices can be sent to a manager’s desktopelectronically for approval. The approval process is configured to a company’s paper process.Approvers “electronically stamp”the invoice with the appropriatestatus (such as, Approved,Disapproved, On Hold, etc.). Thestamp is tailored to each approverand enables critical information tobe keyed into the stamp, such as,GL distribution codes, or that whichis automatically provided, such asthe log-on of the approver, and thedate and time of the approval. Theapproval stamp is a permanentnotation to be put directly on theinvoice image providing anunalterable audit. Once approved,the invoices are sent electronicallythrough workflow to theappropriate processing queue inaccounts payable.

Doc-link brings greater financial control to managing payablesprocessing from receipt of vendor invoices to voucher entry. Withdoc-link users can match purchase orders, receivers, and vendorinvoices directly from the desktop for quick reconciliation andresolution. Users are also able to electronically view the invoiceand supporting documents from their desktops, streamliningpaper-matching processes.

Automatic indexing and electronically filing of entered invoices Once the invoice is entered into Sage PFW, the invoice image is automatically indexed with theinvoice data and stored in the doc-link database. Doc-link also maintains all electronic “filecopies” (i.e., the invoice is linked to its purchase order, the vendor, a project, etc.) eliminatingthe need to maintain and file the paper invoice.

Review invoices for payment from the desktopPaying checks is easier and faster with doc-link. The check signer or authorizer can reviewinvoices and checks for signature, or have the documents printed to an Altec MICR checkprinting system from the desktop. When the checks are approved and printed, doc-linkautomatically captures the check and stores it in doc-link, as well as “retro-indexes” thecheck information (number and date) to all invoices paid by each check.

Companies experience a significant productivity increase with their accounts payableprocessing as the clerical and paper-intensive tasks are eliminated. With doc-link, users can:

• Get invoices and purchase orders to approvers’ desktops without mailing, faxing, copying,or manually moving documents.

• Electronically “rubber stamp” invoices and purchase order approvals.• Email or fax documents from the desktop to vendors and purchasing managers requiring

resolution.• Easily track all invoices currently in the approval and resolution process.• Drill down from the accounts payable application to invoices, purchase orders, checks,

delivery receipts, etc., using any of the accounts payable data, such as, GL account, date range, or vendor number.
