Procurement & Compliance Teams

Enforce the process. Meet the standard.

Compliance breaks down the moment a single invoice gets approved without a PO or a verified vendor. Cypher Intern makes the rule the default, not an afterthought.

The challenge

Invoices occasionally get approved without a matching purchase order

Vendor details go unverified, creating fraud and compliance risk

E-invoicing formats like ZUGFeRD and XRechnung require manual conversion

How Cypher Intern helps

  1. 1

    Procurement rules require a matching PO before an invoice can move to payment

  2. 2

    Vendor records are verified and validated, including IBAN/BIC checks

  3. 3

    Outgoing invoices are generated directly in ZUGFeRD and XRechnung format

  4. 4

    Every approval and export leaves a clear, reviewable audit trail

What changes

  • No invoice bypasses the PO requirement
  • A verified vendor master, not ad hoc entries
  • E-invoicing compliance built in, not bolted on

Common questions
