AP Automation for NetSuite

Capture, code, approve, and pay every invoice inside NetSuite, with vendors, bills, POs, and payments synced both ways.

AP automation for NetSuite connects your NetSuite ERP to software that captures invoices, codes them to your general ledger, routes approvals, matches them to purchase orders, and pays suppliers, with far less manual entry. Centime runs this work natively against NetSuite and syncs vendors, bills, purchase orders, receipts, and payments in both directions, so your payables and your NetSuite ledger stay in step without CSV exports or duplicate keying.

How the Integration Works

  1. Invoice received — Emailed or uploaded (INV-4473 · Globex Corp · $32,118 — received — reading with OCR)
  2. Captured & coded — OCR, AI coding, PO matching (INV-4473 · Globex Corp · $32,118 — captured & coded to Accounts Payable)
  3. Approved — Routed via approval workflows (INV-4473 · Globex Corp · $32,118 — approved by S. Patel)
  4. Paid — ACH or virtual card (INV-4473 · Globex Corp · $32,118 — paid via ACH)
  5. Posted to NetSuite — Bidirectional real-time sync (INV-4473 · Globex Corp · $32,118 — posted to NetSuite just now)

Features

Invoice Capture and AI Coding

Centime reads the header and every line item from each invoice and converts it into structured data, learning your coding patterns against your NetSuite accounts over time. Coded invoices sync to NetSuite as bills already structured for the ledger.

Two- and Three-Way PO Matching

Two-way matching compares the invoice to the purchase order; three-way matching adds the receipt. Approval workflows route each bill to the right approver by amount, department, or vendor, with a full audit trail.

Integrated Payments

Approval and payment happen from one screen, so nothing needs re-entry on the NetSuite side. Time payments to manage days payable outstanding and earn rebates on eligible virtual-card spend, with every scheduled payment updating your live cash picture.

What the NetSuite Integration Carries

Class, department, location, and project stay attached to the coding, and for multi-subsidiary groups, intercompany journal entries and accounting periods are part of the same sync. Vendor prepayments, credits, supplier ACH details, and liability checks are synced too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Centime integrate with NetSuite for AP?

Yes. Centime syncs vendors, bills, purchase orders, and payments in both directions with NetSuite, so both systems stay aligned without manual export or duplicate entry. The integration is native, which means there is no separate ledger to reconcile after the fact.

Does Centime do three-way PO matching against NetSuite POs?

Yes. Centime performs two- and three-way matching against the purchase orders and receipts recorded in NetSuite, confirming that the order, the receipt, and the invoice agree. It surfaces only the exceptions that need review, so your team does not check every line by hand.

How does AI invoice coding work with NetSuite, and how accurate is it?

Centime reads each invoice header and line items and predicts the general ledger coding mapped to your NetSuite accounts, learning your patterns over time so accuracy improves with use. A person reviews and approves before anything posts, which keeps the coding under your team's control while removing the manual keying.

Do payments post back to NetSuite automatically?

Yes. When a bill is approved and paid by ACH, virtual card, or check, the payment and its status post back to NetSuite without re-entry. That keeps reconciliation current instead of leaving it as a separate manual task after payment.

How much does NetSuite AP automation cost?

Pricing scales with invoice and payment volume rather than seat count, so a quote depends on your throughput. The return shows up as reclaimed hours and tighter control: Synergy HomeCare saved more than 40 hours per month on AP, and Erdman Holdings saved more than 20 hours per week compared with its prior manual process.

Is our payables data secure?

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