- AP Depts. Jump on the E-Invoice and E-Payment Bandwagon
- Just a short time ago, the only way to make the invoice and payment process more efficient using automation was to turn to the p-card.

- AP Manager's Forum: Vendor File Woes--Fix It or Start Over?
- The master vendor file at Cox Ohio was based on old technology that was not robust enough to serve the needs of the AP department. Denise Thompson, the company’s AP manager recalls: "We used to have one central location and four payment companies.

I think we had something like 75,000 vendors."
