it sometimes misreads invoices

Pros

It completely transformed our purchase order system and eliminated paper invoices. Finding old invoices is simpler now and sharing documents with our auditors is really easy.

Cons

Although we can find invoices, it doesn't always read invoices correctly. I'd also love to see a GRN icon in the Invoice Inbox list so we can tell at a glance which purchase orders have been received before we start processing the invoice.

good cost control

Pros

It's been fantastic for cost control. Being able to split one purchase order across several invoices is a feature we use constantly.

Cons

There was a bit of a learning curve and some initial teething problems though most have been fixed now. Sometimes it would have been better if support had just fixed the issue for us instead of sending us help articles to do it ourselves, that ended up taking a lot of our time.

Great Sage integration

Pros

The connection with Sage 50 works really well. I especially like how we can set up automatic workflows for purchase orders and invoices

Cons

We've run into some rounding issues where invoice totals can be slightly off. It would be really helpful if we could set the number of decimal places at a system level, rather than having to adjust it for each supplier individually.
