Oracle ERP Cloud Evaluated Receipt Settlements (ERS)

Oracle ERP Cloud Evaluated Receipt Settlements (ERS)

In the realm of automated invoicing, it might come across the term “Payment on Receipt Auto Invoice Program,” which is alternatively referred to as “Evaluated Receipt Settlement” (ERS) and “Self-Billing.” This innovative system leverages the details from both the receipt and purchase order to generate invoices, effectively eradicating the need for redundant manual data input. By doing so, it not only streamlines the invoicing process, but also guarantees precision and punctuality in data handling.

ERS, often known as the “Pay on Receipt” program, stands as a widely adopted and standardized approach for the automated creation of payable invoices based on purchase order receipts. This method brings a significant level of automation to the invoicing procedure, significantly reducing the workload associated with manual data entry.
