What is it?
Invoice processing
Invoice processing for telecommunications services covers the qualified checking, allocation and posting of electronic invoices — including the customer-specific preparation of all invoice data. At DATANET, this task is handled by the CTR module, which processes more than 13 million incoming invoices per month on behalf of our customers: from very granular accounts-payable invoice verification through Re‑/Rating and Re‑/Billing, the creation of accounts-receivable documents and the cause-based cost allocation to the automated posting. Because no invoice stream is like any other, we also adapt the preparation individually to your requirements.
