In this case, the purchaser approves the invoice. This approval starts a business workflow process where an accounts payable clerk is able to check for a duplicate invoice, match and code the invoice for the ERP system, and get the invoice processed for payment. According to an Aberdeen Group study (completed in April 2012), enterprises that process at least 2,500 invoices per month can save nearly $100,000 a year by reducing the cost to process an invoice from an industry average of $6.20 per invoice to $3.00 per invoice
