The Rho AP Inbox gives customers a singular, central place to forward invoices to and automatically process them.
How does it work?
A designated email address is created for every organization. Users can forward email invoices to the inbox, whereupon receipt, OCR (optical character recognition) technology scans the invoice and pulls key data points needed to create a draft bill in Rho, such as the amount, vendor, invoice number, and due dates.
The draft bill will then appear in your Rho Dashboard for you to action upon, just like a manually created bill.
Please Note: non-invoice files will not be created as bills in the Rho platform. Please see below file support for AP inbox
