ERP integration
AP automation on top
of your ERP
InvoiceIQ AP works on top of your ERP. It reads orders from it and posts finished bills back.
The question: How can I automate AP without replacing my ERP?
The short answer
InvoiceIQ AP by Analytos sits in front of your ERP rather than replacing it. It reads purchase orders and receipts live from the ERP, does the reading, coding and matching, and posts a finished vendor bill back with its match report attached. Each ERP connects through one adapter against a shared data model. NetSuite is live in production today; other ERPs are an adapter, not a rebuild.
How it works
- Step 1
Read
Fetch the purchase order and its lines, and what has already been received and billed.
- Step 2
Decide
Match and code inside InvoiceIQ AP, against your rules and tolerances.
- Step 3
Post
Create the vendor bill in the ERP, one line per account, class and department.
- Step 4
Verify
Confirm the posted bill equals the invoice; if not, it is removed and the post refused.
- Step 5
Log
Record the attempt, the policy and the ERP link on the Posting Log.
Supported systems today
| System | Status |
|---|---|
| Oracle NetSuite | Live in production |
| Stockly (Analytos ERP) | Posting path supported |

| InvoiceIQ demo ERP | Built in, for walkthroughs with no live credentials |
| SAP, Oracle Fusion, Epicor, Infor, Dynamics | Not built. One adapter against the same model; a scoping conversation |
What an adapter does
An adapter fetches the order, fetches what moved against it, translates the document in and the result out, names the ERP’s dimensions, and translates ERP status codes once at that boundary. The matching engine, the rules and the screens do not change between ERPs.
Controls
- Nothing posts without a person approving it
- The golden rule is enforced one final time after the ERP holds the bill
- ERP credentials are never present in the demo build
Is this a fit?
A good fit when
- You run NetSuite, or are willing to scope an adapter for your ERP
- You want to keep your ERP as the system of record
- IT wants the code and data in your own environment
Not the right tool when
- You want an ERP-native module and nothing outside it
- You need an adapter for an ERP we have not built, live next week
Evidence
- CapabilityNetSuite adapter live in production.
- CapabilityCanonical data model shown field by field on the CDM Objects page in the product.
How we label claims: evidence and claims policy.
Frequently asked
questions
Not today. SAP would be a new adapter against the same data model. Talk to us to scope it.
The NetSuite adapter uses NetSuite’s APIs. Each adapter uses whatever interface that ERP exposes.
In your environment. You own the code.
The rules, matching and history stay; only the adapter changes.
