See How Ascend AP Amplifies Its Power

Touchless supplier invoice processing with Ascend 

Ascend’s robust AP automation platform works in lockstep with Workday Financial Management and can handle complex workflows. With a header recognition rate of at least 97% for PO and non-PO invoices, as well as a touchless processing rate of at least 60% for those same invoices, the level of AP automation provided by Ascend AP is second to none. 

Support for Non-PO Invoices, Supplier Contracts, and Supplier Invoice Requests  

With Ascend AP, you can leverage document rules to automatically enter certain details for header and line fields, such as customer account number, handling code, and memo details, in Workday for specific suppliers. We can also help your AP team create custom rules that automatically populate specific data for certain header and line fields, such as tax, billable, and prepaid information, into Workday.  

Automation on Your Terms 

There may be times when it’s better to leave nothing to chance, especially when it comes to supplier invoices. Default settings in Ascend AP enables your AP team to decide when certain header or line fields, such as supplier, currency, payment terms, and approver details, should be the same for every invoice from a specific supplier.  

Human Support for Complex Use Cases

We know Accounts Payable accuracy doesn't only matter at the approval stage. Accurate data is needed before it even reaches your team, therefore our staff looks at complex invoices to approve for accuracy beforehand, saving your company time and increasing accurate AI and Machine Learning rates in the future. At Ascend, we’re here to provide you with a white-glove service, not just a software solution.  

Reduced Need for Manual Data Entry  

Manually entering supplier invoice details into any system (even one as robust as Workday) takes time and can create AP bottlenecks that delay supplier payments. Ascend AP automates this step by processing both PO and non-PO invoices end-to-end — accurately matching each line item to the correct Workday fields and coding them — with virtually no manual data entry required.

The Benefits of Best of Breed

Ascend AP is more than just a set of features added onto an ERP — it’s a complete AP automation solution backed by a team dedicated to your success. We provide 24/7 support, guarantee touchless processing rates above 60%, and assign a dedicated customer success representative to help you achieve the most accurate and efficient AP outcomes on your Workday platform.

Better Performance in a Fraction of the Time

It takes time for AI and machine learning to determine who your suppliers are and how your organization processes invoices, but your team can’t wait for suppliers to submit dozens of invoices before any learning can begin. If suppliers only submit invoices once a year, month, or quarter, it will likely take some time before your organization sees any results. Automation starts in Ascend AP with the very first supplier invoice that you receive. Leverage document rules to get the automation process up and running, while our AI models and ML engines work to refine the process.
