We understand what makes automotive AP different

Tuned to make life easier for automotive finance teams, because we know how you work.

Every line counts

One parts delivery can mean hundreds of invoice lines. Checking each by hand is slow, and one wrong digit can hold up payment.

Cost codes at every junction

Dealer groups and multi-plant manufacturers code spend by site and department, and every invoice has to land in the right place.

Credits that keep coming back

Returned parts, core charges and manufacturer rebates arrive as credit notes, and each one needs matching to the right invoice.

Downtime isn't an option

When the next delivery keeps the line or the workshop running, a disputed invoice can put supply at risk. Queries need resolving fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I control approvals across sites and departments?

Yes. You can set up multi-level approval rules that follow your structure, managed in the portal or by email. We flag errors and send them back to suppliers.

Which automotive ERP systems do you integrate with?

We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Klipboard Autopart and more. If your finance team runs it, chances are we already talk to it, and we manage the integration so you don't see any disruption.

Do my suppliers need to change how they invoice?

No. Suppliers keep sending invoices exactly how they already do, PDF, EDI or email. Open ECX converts and validates everything behind the scenes.
