Integrated Document Management
Doc-link is an integrated document management (IDM) solution that interfaces with SAP Business One
to eliminate the bottlenecks associated with handling, filing, and retrieving paper documents. By
bringing documents to the desktop, doc-link dramatically increases productivity and enhances
communication between customers, vendors, and employees.
Doc-link captures forms, reports, and documents directly from Business One through our Electronic
Report Management (ERM) technology for ease of indexing, archiving, and retrieving documents in
seconds. Documents external to the organization, like vendor invoices, can be captured through
scanning or directly via fax or email. With our electronic workflow module we configure your traditional business processes
for invoice approvals, audits, and vouchering. Our unique integration to Business One 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, you can view, annotate, fax, email or print the documents - you never need to leave
your desktop to look for files or missing paper documents!
Combined with Output Manager, our automated output management solution, you can establish recipient and routing
schedules that enable you to deliver forms and reports to users based on their preferred method of delivery and format.
Imagine, automatically faxing or emailing invoices and statements to customers, or automatically routing copies of routine
reports to sales representatives and department managers, and eliminating the costs associated with postage and mailroom
operations.

Streamlining Accounts Payable Example
Accounts Payable Management – 6 Easy Processing Steps

Doc-link brings greater financial control to managing payables processing


from receipt of vendor invoices to voucher entry. With doc-link users can
match purchase orders, receivers, and vendor invoices directly from the
desktop for quick reconciliation and resolution. Users are also able to
electronically view the invoice and supporting documents from their
desktops, streamlining paper-matching processes.

1 Receive A/P invoices.


Receive A/P invoices from vendors or remote offices by email, fax, electronic file transfer or mail.
All mailed invoices are scanned.

2 Assign to A/P processor queue.


All captured vendor invoices are electronically distributed or ‘assigned’ to an A/P individual’s
processor queues. Invoices can be pre-indexed to easily locate during the approval process.

3 Electronically approve invoices.


Through workflow, vendor invoices can be sent to a manager’s desktop electronically for approval.
The approval process is configured to a company’s paper process. Approvers “electronically stamp”
the invoice with the appropriate
status (i.e., Approved, Disapproved,
On Hold, etc). The stamp is tailored
to each approver and enables critical
information to be keyed into the
stamp, such as, G/L distribution
codes or automatically provided
such as, the log on of the approver,
the date and time of the approval.
The approval stamp is a permanent
notation to be put directly on the
invoice image providing an
unalterable audit. Once approved,
the invoices are sent electronically
through workflow to the
appropriate processing queue in
accounts payable, i.e., Approved,
Not Approved, etc.

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

5 Automatic
invoices.
indexing and electronically filing of entered

Once the invoice is entered within SAP Business One, the invoice image is automatically indexed
with the invoice data and stored in the doc-link database. Doc-link also maintains all electronic
“file copies” (i.e.., the invoice is linked to its purchase order, the vendor, a project, etc.)
eliminating the need to copy and file the invoice.

6 Review invoices for payment from the desktop.


Paying checks is easier and faster with doc-link. The check signer or authorizer can review
invoices and checks for signatures or to be printed to an Altec MICR check printing system
from the desktop. When the checks are approved and printed, doc-link automatically captures
the check and stores it in doc-link, as well as “retro-indexing” the check information (number
and date) to all invoices paid by each check.

Companies experience a significant productivity increase with their accounts payable


processing 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, G/L account, date
range, or vendor number.

How is doc-link different from other imaging systems?


Altec developers have written integration software to link your current systems with doc-link. The integration seamlessly interfaces your application
with documents and reports. That means you can review data from your business and accounting systems at the same time you are viewing your
documents and reports. In addition, you can utilize Visual Basic Script to access the doc-link object model and create your own custom integration.
There are no proprietary languages or commands to learn, but some knowledge of the doc-link object model and data model are required. Training
sessions are available to provide the documentation and tools necessary to begin integrating doc-link to your business application.
Doc-link offers a modular system approach.
You can start small and grow at your own pace. Doc-link’s modular components allow for low-cost entry with expanded capability as needed. You get
started by selecting the modules that will give your company the biggest bang for the buck. The system’s flexibility allows you to decide what
functions you want and when you need them. Altec representatives can help you analyze your current business processes and customize a document
management system to meet your needs.
Doc-link provides multi-level indexing.
Good indexing of documents is crucial. In order to retrieve documents, they must be indexed by the appropriate key information. This information is
used to design your indexing plan. With multi-level indexing, you can retrieve a purchase order by any or all of the order numbers on the purchase
order. If you have multiple companies or locations, you can index your documents accordingly.
