Enhance Your ERP with Tungsten Invoice Agility for Sun Systems Users

Tungsten Invoice Agility for Sun Systems Users

Infor Sun Systems is still the core of financial management for many finance teams. It’s powerful, reliable, and part of daily operations. But as organisations need to process invoices faster, reduce manual work, and keep up with compliance, the real question is whether Sun Systems can keep pace.

Tungsten’s Invoice Agility platform doesn’t replace Sun Systems, it supercharges it. By layering intelligent capture, validation, and workflow automation on top of your existing ERP, you get the best of both worlds: the financial rigour of Sun Systems and the processing velocity of AI-driven automation.

What Is Tungsten Invoice Agility?

Tungsten Invoice Agility is a complete accounts payable (AP) automation solution that captures, sorts, extracts, and checks invoice data from any source or format. Whether your suppliers send PDFs, scanned invoices, or EDI files, Tungsten handles them all and sends the data through your approval workflows.

Core capabilities include:

• Multi-channel invoice capture (email, portal, EDI, scan)
• AI-powered data extraction and header/line-level recognition
• Automated PO matching (2-way and 3-way)
• Exception handling and intelligent routing
• Audit-ready document archiving and retrieval
• Real-time dashboards and SLA tracking

Why the Tungsten Invoice Agility for Infor Sun Systems Works

Sun Systems is great at what it’s built for: managing the general ledger, handling multiple currencies, project accounting, and financial reporting. Its structured accounts and ledger setup work well with the clean, validated data that Tungsten provides. Instead of working against your ERP, Tungsten is made to support it in a clean, consistent, and compliant way.

The integration works across three key layers:

1. Data Extraction & Validation Layer

Invoice Agility reads incoming invoices and extracts key details, including vendor ID, invoice number, date, line-item descriptions, VAT codes, amounts, and cost centre references. It checks these against supplier records and purchase orders in Sun Systems before creating any journal entries. Any issues are flagged automatically, so your ledger stays accurate from the start.

2. Workflow & Approval Layer

Invoices that pass automated checks go through approval workflows set up by cost centre, value, or business unit, matching your Sun Systems structure. Approvers get email or mobile alerts and can approve, ask questions, or escalate without logging into Sun Systems. Every decision is recorded and time-stamped for audits.

3. ERP Write-Back Layer

After approval, the system sends the validated invoice data straight to Sun Systems using API or flat-file integration. Journals are posted to the right ledger codes, VAT is handled according to your setup, and the invoice is marked ready for payment. This touchless process turns AP from a backup into a real advantage.

The Business Case in Numbers

Companies that use intelligent invoice automation with a well-set-up ERP usually see real results within the first year. Here are some typical benchmarks from Tungsten’s customers:

• Up to 80% reduction in manual data entry across the AP function
• Invoice processing cycle times reduced from days to hours
• Straight-through processing rates of 60–75% for PO-matched invoices
• Significant reduction in duplicate payments and erroneous postings
• Improved supplier relationships through faster, more predictable payment cycles

Importantly, you get these benefits without disrupting the Sun Systems setup that your finance team depends on. Tungsten Invoice Agility works before your ERP, acting as a quality check so only clean, approved, and validated data goes into your ledger.
