Frequently asked questions

What is Centime AP automation?

Centime automates invoice capture, coding, approval, and payment, embedded directly inside your ERP — Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, or QuickBooks — so there's no separate login or CSV export to keep in sync.

How does Centime’s AP automation actually work?

AI captures header- and line-level detail from every invoice and predicts the GL coding from your own invoice history. Approved invoices route through configurable, policy-based approval workflows and post back to your ERP as the system of record.

Which ERPs does Centime integrate with?

Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and every edition of QuickBooks, with bidirectional sync so bills, vendors, and GL accounts stay consistent in both systems.

How does PO matching work?

Centime runs two- and three-way matching, checking invoices against purchase orders and, for three-way, the goods receipt, so payment isn't released until price and quantity check out. You set the tolerances, so only real exceptions reach a person.

What payment methods does Centime support?

Check, ACH, wire, and virtual card, all from one place, with the cash-flow impact shown before a payment run is released.

Can Centime manage suppliers directly?

Yes. Suppliers onboard themselves through a self-service portal, submit their own bank and tax details, and track invoice status, while Centime validates identity and bank details before any payment goes out.

How long does implementation take?

Most customers are live within 7–21 days, depending on which modules you choose and how quickly your team moves through onboarding.

Can I pay multiple vendors in one run?

Yes. Centime processes a payment run vendor by vendor, so each supplier is paid individually even when a run covers many vendors at once.

Is Centime’s AP data secure?

Yes. Centime is SOC 2 Type II compliant, an independent audit standard covering how a software provider handles and protects customer data, with bank-grade security.

Prior to using Centime we were 100% manual on entering and approving all invoices. Centime is a fantastic AP automation tool that streamlined our invoice processing and payment workflows.
