## FAQ: Medius for AP Managers

Does Medius include invoice data capture functionality?

Yes. Medius includes built-in AI-powered [invoice capture](https://www.medius.com/solutions/medius-accounts-payable-automation/invoice-capture/ "Invoice Capture") that extracts header and line-level data with high accuracy. No third‑party OCR tool is needed, and clean data feeds directly into matching and approval workflows enabling market-leading automation rates.

Which invoice formats can Medius handle?

Medius captures data from any invoice format – PDF, email attachments, scanned documents, XML, EDI and structured [e-invoices](https://www.medius.com/solutions/medius-accounts-payable-automation/einvoicing/ "eInvoicing"). Whatever your suppliers send, Medius can read, interpret and process it in a highly automated flow.

How can Medius help AP Managers save time?

Medius reduces manual work at every step of the AP process.

AP Managers save time by:

- automating invoice capture, coding, matching and routing
- removing approval chasing and manual status updates
- reducing supplier inquiries through automated communication
- eliminating spreadsheet-based matching and tracking
- cutting down on month‑end reconciliations and last‑minute fixes

Your team can focus on exceptions and process improvements instead of data entry and detective work.

How is Medius invoice matching different than other AP solutions?

Medius offers high-precision, rules-based matching that supports both 2‑way and 3‑way matching. What makes it unique is:

- automatic matching at line level
- advanced matching logics automating even the most complex invoices
- real‑time alerts when something doesn’t align
- straight‑through processing for “clean” invoices
- fewer exceptions — and clearer paths to resolution

The result is an exceptionally high touchless rate and far less manual reconciliation.

How can Medius integrate with an ERP system?

Medius connects easily to most major ERPs through [pre‑built connectors](https://www.medius.com/solutions/for-your-erp/ "For your ERP") and APIs.

Data flows automatically between Medius and your ERP, including:

- invoices
- purchase orders
- vendor data
- GL codes
- payment status

You get one seamless process without double work or duplicate data entry.

Why is Medius better than the ERP invoice processing functionality?

ERPs are great financial systems, but AP processing is rarely their strongest area. Medius delivers:

- deeper automation (capture, coding, matching, deviations, approvals)
- smarter workflows that adapt to your business rules
- real‑time visibility and reporting designed for AP
- stronger control and built‑in fraud detection
- a better experience for AP teams, approvers and suppliers

Think of Medius as a purpose‑built AP engine that enhances your ERP – not replaces it.

Can Medius scale as invoice volumes grow?

Yes. Medius is designed for high-volume AP environments and allows teams to scale without increasing headcount. Companies often absorb major volume increases without adding resources.

Does Medius support multiple entities, currencies and geographies?

Absolutely. Medius supports global AP operations, including multi-entity structures, multi-currency processing and region-specific compliance requirements.

How quickly can AP teams start seeing value from Medius?

Many teams see improvements – such as reduced manual work and faster approvals – shortly after go‑live. Touchless rates and cycle times typically improve steadily as the system learns your data and rules.

How does Medius help reduce fraud and payment risk?

Medius includes built-in [fraud detection](https://www.medius.com/solutions/fraud-risk-detection/ "Fraud & Risk Detection"), duplicate checking, and policy‑driven approvals that ensure invoices follow the proper path before payment. You get a controlled, audit-ready AP process every day.

Does Medius help reduce supplier inquiries?

Yes. With automated status updates and [AI‑assisted responses](https://www.medius.com/solutions/supplier-conversations/ "Supplier Conversations"), suppliers get quicker, more accurate answers – reducing the number of emails and calls your team handles.
