Key Takeaways
- Quick Payable covers the full AP cycle: capture, match, code, approve, pay or export, and report.
- Because it's built on Salesforce, AP data, users, and permissions live in the org you already use. There's no second system to sync or log into.
- AI handles the repeat work, like reading invoices, coding vendors, and spotting duplicates, so people focus on real exceptions.
- The average AP team spends $9.40 and 9.2 days per invoice. Best-in-class teams spend $2.78 and 3.1 days, mostly through automation.
- Every feature is included for $100 per user per month, with a 15-day free trial.
How Quick Payable Features Work Together
Each feature handles one step. Together they take an invoice from the vendor's email to your ledger without the usual chasing.
| Step | What happens | Features involved |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Capture | Invoices arrive by email or upload and land in one queue | Email and file capture, paperless AP |
| 2. Extract | AI reads the invoice and fills in the record | AI OCR invoice processing |
| 3. Match | Invoice is checked against the PO and receipt, and for duplicates | 2-way and 3-way matching, duplicate detection, AI agent |
| 4. Code | GL codes and entity are applied | Vendor GL code management, multi-entity AP |
| 5. Approve | Invoice goes to the right approvers in order | Invoice approval software, AP workflow automation |
| 6. Pay or export | Approved invoices are scheduled for payment or sent to the ERP | Payment scheduling, ERP integration |
| 7. Report | Status, aging, and history are visible at any time | AP dashboard, audit trail, roles and permissions |

AI That Handles Exceptions, Not Just Flags Them
Reading an invoice is only the first step. Quick Payable's AI also checks what it read against your POs and vendor history, clears routine problems, and hands the hard ones to a person with everything they need to decide.
- Reads every key field from PDF, PNG, and scanned invoices
- Spots PO mismatches, unusual amounts, and unknown vendor details
- Clears routine exceptions without building a manual queue
- Sends complex cases to the right approver with full context
- Learns your vendor coding patterns over time
Approval Rules Your Finance Team Can Set Up
Set approval rules by vendor, amount, department, cost center, or entity, and change them when your business changes. Finance can manage routing without writing code or waiting on an IT ticket.
- Multi-level sequential and parallel approval chains
- Route by vendor, invoice amount, department, or entity
- Approvers get real-time notifications in Salesforce
- One-click approve or reject from desktop or mobile
- Every decision saved in the invoice's audit trail
A Complete Audit Trail for Every Invoice
Every action on every invoice is time-stamped and tied to a user inside Salesforce. When an auditor, a vendor, or your CFO asks what happened, the answer is already on the record.
- Every approval, rejection, and edit logged with user and time
- Full history from first receipt to final payment
- Roles and permissions enforced at the field and record level
- Separate controls for each entity in multi-entity setups
- Audit reports you can export for outside review
Salesforce-Native AP vs. Connected AP Tools
Many AP tools run on their own platform and sync data into Salesforce. Quick Payable runs inside it. Here's what that changes day to day.
| Area | Connected AP tool | Salesforce-native Quick Payable |
|---|---|---|
| Where AP data lives | In the vendor's own system, copied over by sync | In your Salesforce org |
| Logins | A separate app for AP users and approvers | The Salesforce login your team already has |
| Users and permissions | Set up and maintained twice | Salesforce roles and profiles |
| Reports | Separate reporting or exports | Standard Salesforce reports and dashboards |
| Sync errors | Possible when the connection breaks | No AP-to-Salesforce sync to break |
| Main requirement | Works with or without Salesforce | Requires Salesforce |

What Each Person on Your Team Gets
AP touches a lot of people. Here's how the features help each of them.
| Role | Biggest pain today | Features that help most |
|---|---|---|
| AP clerk or specialist | Typing invoices and chasing approvals | AI OCR, email capture, touchless processing |
| Approver or department head | Invoices buried in email | One-click approvals, mobile approval, notifications |
| AP manager | Exceptions piling up with no context | AI agent, PO matching, duplicate detection |
| Controller | Miscoded invoices and slow close | Vendor GL coding, ERP export, aging reports |
| CFO | No clear view of what's owed | AP dashboards, multi-entity reporting |
| Auditor | Missing approval history | Audit trail, roles and permissions |
| Salesforce admin | One more system to support | Native Salesforce security and setup |

Quick Payable Features FAQs
What is Quick Payable?
Quick Payable is accounts payable automation software built natively on Salesforce. It captures invoices, checks them against purchase orders, routes them for approval, and tracks payment, all inside your Salesforce org. New to AP automation? Start with our guide on how AP automation works.
What AP automation features does Quick Payable include?
Quick Payable includes AI OCR invoice capture, email capture, touchless processing, an AI agent for exceptions, 2-way and 3-way matching, duplicate detection, multi-level approvals, vendor and GL code management, payment scheduling, ERP export, dashboards, audit trails, multi-entity support, and Salesforce roles and permissions.
How does AI OCR invoice processing work?
AI OCR reads invoices in PDF, PNG, and scanned formats and pulls out key fields like vendor, invoice number, date, amounts, and line items. The data lands on the invoice record in Salesforce, so your team reviews it instead of typing it in.
Does Quick Payable support 2-way and 3-way matching?
Yes. 2-way matching compares the invoice to the purchase order. 3-way matching also checks the receiving record, so you only pay for goods that arrived. Mismatches are flagged for review before approval.
Does Quick Payable support multi-level approval workflows?
Yes. You can set sequential or parallel approval chains based on vendor, amount, department, cost center, or entity. Approvers are notified in Salesforce and can approve or reject from desktop or mobile.
Can Quick Payable detect duplicate invoices?
Yes. Quick Payable flags likely duplicate invoices before they reach approval or payment, which helps prevent paying the same bill twice.
What is touchless invoice processing?
Touchless processing means a clean invoice moves from capture to approval without anyone keying or fixing data. Invoices that do not match or break a rule are sent to a person for review instead.
Do I need Salesforce to use Quick Payable?
Yes. Quick Payable is built natively on Salesforce, so it runs inside your Salesforce org and uses its users, security, roles, permissions, and reports. If your company does not use Salesforce, factor that into your evaluation.
Does Quick Payable integrate with ERP systems?
Yes. Approved invoices can be exported to ERP and accounting systems, so your ledger stays up to date without double entry. Connection options depend on your system, so confirm yours during the demo.
Is Quick Payable suitable for multi-entity businesses?
Yes. You can run AP for several entities, subsidiaries, or business units from one Salesforce org, with separate approval chains, GL codes, and reporting for each.
How secure is Quick Payable?
Quick Payable uses Salesforce's security model, including role-based access and field-level permissions, and logs every invoice action with the user and time. It is built by Differenz System, which holds ISO 27001:2022 certification.
