QR Invoice Scanning with Bellin TM5

Finanzmitarbeiter in Schweizer Firmen scannen seit dem 1. Juli erhaltene Rechnungen mit einem QR-Code in ihr ERP System. Bisher wurden die sogenannten Orangen Zahlscheine für die Kreditoren-Lieferanten-Zahlläufe eingescannt.

Für dringliche Zahlungen gibt es neu auch für das Bellin tm5 dieses Scanning und die Zahlung kann im tm5 wie andere manuelle Zahlungen freigeben werden.

English:
Accounting staff within Swiss companies have been scanning invoices (since July 1, 2020) into their ERP system if the invoice was issued with a QR-code. For years, the “orange” payment slips were also scanned into the Supply Chain for the ERP. For manual or urgent payments, you can now also scan these into the Bellin tm5 and then release the payment in tm5 like other manual payments.
