DocStar PO Acknowledgement for Prophet 21

Automate Your Vendor Purchase Order (PO) Acknowledgement Process

Maintain Visibility and Minimize Risk, Intelligent Data Capture, Advanced Workflow, Ensure Compliance

Bring order to the chaos with the PO Acknowledgement solution add-on to DocStar, an Epicor solution, combined with Epicor Intelligent Data Capture (IDC). It starts with input into the DocStar document repository from fax, email, scanner, or file drop. IDC reads the PO Acknowledgement document and matches document elements to indexable fields, such as PO number, vendor ID, item ID, quantity, price, to name a few. For those hand-written acknowledgements, the user has the option of indexing those scans manually. DocStar then auto-matches these fields to the Prophet 21 PO header and detail lines, marks, and dates each PO record “Acknowledged,” and stores the document in the DocStar repository so that it is easy to find later. Any exceptions in the matching process are sent to a human to resolve and then complete the acknowledgement process.
