Master Data
Monitor Changes to Master Data That Impact Transactions
Approva’s Approach
Approva automates monitoring of vendor, material and customer master data across your IT systems so you have confidence that all of your processed invoices, payments, sales orders and goods receipts are legitimate. Approva can also take a snapshot of your master data and then identify unauthorized changes from that baseline.
Approva monitors field-level details for duplicate and missing data, inappropriate use of fields (e.g. “alternate payee”) and configurable settings (e.g. automated enforcement of 3-way match).
Key Benefits
Reduced Expenses
Approva reduces procurement expenses by ensuring that underlying data is accurate. This reduces unauthorized and duplicate payments and ensures that vendor discounts are utilized appropriately.
Improved Financial Reporting Accuracy
Approva eliminates errors at the source so that small mistakes do not compound over time and trigger manually intensive reviews during the financial close process.
Reduced Audit Preparation Time
Approva enables you to baseline your vendor, material and customer master data. Out-of-the box reports enable you to easily demonstrate to auditors that the master data which drives your procurement and accounts receivable process has not been compromised or changed inappropriately.
Errors in the data that underlies procurement transactions results in unnecessarily excessive procurement costs.
