Intelligent invoice processing 

Yes. You can enable a dedicated AP inbox so invoices forwarded to a unique email address are ingested automatically, OCR'd, and dropped into a review queue—no manual uploading required. Most firms simply auto-forward their existing accounts payable mailbox to that address (Unanet recommends keeping it internal to avoid spam), and you'll get a notification when invoices are processed and ready to review. You can also still drag-and-drop or upload invoices in batches when you prefer.

Unanet runs an automated validation layer that safeguards against duplicate invoice entries and automatically matches invoices to their purchase orders. You choose how strict to be on duplicates—ignore, warn, or hard-stop—and when an invoice ties to a PO, Unanet pulls the project, account, and line detail straight from that PO onto the invoice, so spend is coded correctly and reconciled without manual lookup. This is the data control that keeps AP accounting audit-ready.

Yes. Unanet lets you auto-approve invoices from specific vendors (like your utility, internet, or rent bills) or below a dollar threshold you set, while everything else flows through your AP approval workflow. You can configure multiple rounds of approvers, and because invoices route by role inside the ERP, approvers act on them directly—no separate logins or bolt-on system—which reduces late payments and helps you capture early-pay discounts.

Vendor Invoice Automation is native to the Unanet GovCon ERP—built and supported by Unanet—so invoices, approvals, and the resulting accounting all live in one place rather than a disconnected AP tool. Once it's enabled it appears under Accounts Payable as a two-click setup, and approved invoices post straight to your general ledger against the right project and expense codes, giving you a controlled procure-to-pay flow inside the system you already use, with dashboards showing what's processed, in review, or flagged as a potential duplicate.

Unanet's Vendor Invoice Automation is purpose-built into a GovCon ERP, connecting invoice capture, PO matching, approvals, and the general ledger in one platform designed around the project-cost and audit realities of government contracting. Rather than re-keying invoices into a standalone tool and reconciling it back to your books, Unanet OCRs and codes invoices to the right project and expense, enforces duplicate and PO validation, routes approvals by role, and posts to the GL automatically—reducing the manual entry, processing cost, and input errors buyers consistently cite with disconnected AP processes.
