Payment and Invoice Systems Integration

Abstract:

A method is described to display an end-to-end view of multiple post-payment stages of a single invoice. A status of the invoice is obtained from an accounting data repository. A visualization of an interface is generated showing the status for the invoice. The method also includes obtaining, from different computer payment systems, and based on the status indicating a payment on the invoice, monetary transaction records that match the invoice. The monetary transaction records received from the different payment systems in different formats are aggregated to update the status of the invoice after the status indicates the payment on the invoice. The visualization of the interface is updated to show the end-to-end view of the invoice. The end-to-end view includes at least a summary of the invoice and also a graphical depiction of a series of visually interconnected payment categories including a post-payment category indicating that the payment to a vendor is incomplete.
