Ken,
We use the EDI 810 invoice, but also accept a text tab delimited file with
three record types (Batch, header, distribution). We also have a text tab
delimited file format that has one record type and could be created and
exported from Excel, although manual creation of files is a process control
nightmare. Our Accounts Payable (AP) department, however, came up with another
process for the 98% of our vendors that cannot or will not send electronic
invoice files.
AP receives and batches up invoices. The invoices are sent to an image and
data entry service drop box. The service scans the images and then distributes
the images for data entry to their data entry employees. Data entry employees
enter data from the invoice image into a template that maps to our text tab
delimited invoice file format. Once the data entry is complete for a batch,
the invoice file and the images are FTP'd back to us for processing through our
electronic invoice system. As a bonus we also attach the invoice images to the
invoice file.
The process is quick and relatively inexpensive and gets AP out of the data
entry business.
Hope this helps,
