Project implementation work on the Proactis-UBW automated invoice processing system is due to start on 1st February 2024 and will complete about 3 months after. The project will be managed by Steve Lawton (Finance Systems Manager) and will involve collaborative work with various internal and external parties including product suppliers Proactis-UBW, Finance Systems Team, IS Enterprise Systems Team, Payments Office Team and Finance Shared Services Team.
When fully operational, the automated invoice processing system will:
- Simplify the inflow and tracking of supplier invoices into the University
- Eliminate the need for supplier invoices to be approved for payment (provided certain conditions are met)
- Vastly improve invoice processing by reducing manual effort
Further comms with project progress updates and operational impact/changes will be issued in due course.
