AP Image Integration

I have been tasked to look into possible solutions for integration of an AP
image (invoice, check stub,etc) and a voucher. I have found a couple of
solutions such as one by Kofax/CreateForm and Optika. Has anyone actually
used such a product and scanned their invoices in with the link
automatically created?
So far the solutions are pretty expensive, and with our volume of AP
processing I am propsing a partially manual process that I could do
inhouse..any experiences on this?

Regards,
John

John, I don't have any experience or help for you, but I was hoping you could point me to the Info you found on the Kofax solution. We are implementing a Kofax solution for scanning contracts and if the additional expense is not to bad, I would be interested in pushing for the Image/Voucher solution.
 
We used Kofax to create an A/P imaging solution. We created a special PO doc type for the approval process so the invoice approval follows the same process as the PO ( I know it wsa already approved but it is a Finance requirement here) . The A/P is processed in batches and the images are scanned and attached the same way. We created custom buttons to retrieve the image from the voucher in the PO approval screen. We have a full audit trail of the approval just like a PO. It works very well and was inexpensive (cheap) compared to the other system that integrate into JDE.
 
For the Kofax solution, did it require other products such as Optika or
Create!Form, or did you just use Kofax Ascent Capture or Ascent for Payables
- did the Kofax product integrate with JDE on it's own?
Your solution sounds very similar to what we are looking into, so it is
good to hear another client has been successful in it..

John

Dear Jgersic93,

I am trying to avoid sounding like a commercial and provide an honest and
helpful opinion.

We have found that Optio product is easier to integrate with OneWorld XE and
less expensive than those other products over the long run. There are many
sources that can provide information on the Optio product other than SSC and
I highly recommend the product. I am trying not to this forum as a sales
tool for any SSC product and am just trying to provide helpful information
to a fellow JDE-list user.

It's best to consider all your forms collection and output options when you
consider OneWorld and future compatibility issues that PeopleSoft may add in
the future.

Best regards,

We use Kofax to get the image, then two more products, Image Management and docusphere by Information Integration systems. They are expensive, but the product works and is easily integrated into any application in OneWorld
