AP automation for Oracle NetSuite
Xelix directly connects to Oracle Fusion and catches anything standard ERP controls miss -reducing manual intervention, monitoring transactions in real time and transforming AP processes with AI-driven AP automation.
Where your Oracle NetSuite controls fall short
-
Manual invoice errors
Supplier invoices can arrive in formats NetSuite’s Bill Capture can’t read, such as spreadsheets, portal downloads and paper.
These require manual entry before they can be approved.
As volumes build, errors are more likely to reach the payment run.
-
Slow or inconsistent approvals
NetSuite can leave bills pending when approval routes, permissions or exception rules are misconfigured.
And even well-configured workflows stall when an approver is unavailable.
This can delay payment runs and strain supplier relationships if they are forced to chase for late payments.
-
Inaccurate coding and classifications
NetSuite vendor bills are assigned to the default account, department and class held on the supplier record.
A supplier with multiple business lines can receive the same coding whatever it is invoicing for.
Miscoded bills are approved and processed as normal, surfacing only if month-end spend doesn’t match the budget.
-
Multi-currency complications
NetSuite converts foreign-currency bills using rates held in its exchange rate table.
If daily rate updates aren’t enabled, bills use the last-entered rate, leaving a difference to account for at month-end.
-
Limited supplier statement visibility
Supplier statement reconciliation usually relies on manual comparison between supplier records and internal AP data. This can make it harder and more time-consuming to identify missing invoices and discrepancies.
Why use Xelix alongside NetSuite to automate AP processes
-
Save up to £2m per £1b of spend with enhanced duplicate invoice detection
Xelix's AI analyses invoices and supplier data to identify any possible errors that Oracle Netsuite may not detect through standard checks. That includes including duplicate invoices, overpayments, incorrect currencies, wrong vendor names or any suspicious activity before payments are released.
-
Automate supplier statement reconciliation
The platform extracts key statement information and automatically reconciles to financial records in Oracle NetSuite. Any missing invoices, unrecorded credit notes and balance discrepancies are highlighted automatically, reducing the time NetSuite users spend performing statement reconciliations manually. -
Strengthen supplier relations by reducing vendor queries by up to 25%
Xelix's Helpdesk module instantly categorises supplier emails, automatically create tickets and auto-generates replies back to the supplier, pulling relevant ERP information.
This reduces the need for AP teams to search NetSuite manually when answering questions about invoices, payments, statements and account balances.
-
Make AP reviews more efficient
Rather than asking AP teams to check every transaction equally, Xelix uses machine learning to highlight invoices requiring investigation.
This frees AP teams to focus on meaningful exceptions, unusual activity and transactions that cause financial loss.
-
AP automation without replacing NetSuite
Xelix operates alongside existing ERP and finance systems, allowing NetSuite to remain the accounting system of record.
The platform adds automated AP controls and processes, without requiring AP teams to replace their established invoice, approval, accounting and payment processes. -
Improve vendor data controls
Xelix helps monitor vendor records for duplicate suppliers, missing information, bank detail or other unusual changes and potential payment threats.
Used alongside the NetSuite permissions and approval controls, companies can maintain clean supplier data and identify risky changes before they contribute to payment errors or fraud.
" When it comes to implementation, many software vendors promise customers the world, only to let them down. Because Xelixis a bolt-on software, it only needs a daily data feed from the ERP system.
It's a "light-touch" data set up for IT.
