| Infor | Legacy | Infor Lawson Accounts Payable | AP Automation | ERP | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018 Ascensus implemented Infor Lawson Accounts Payable to centralize invoice processing and control Accounts Payable functions under the AP Automation category. The deployment targeted core finance functions including accounts payable operations, vendor management, procurement invoice workflows, tax allocation, and audit support across corporate finance teams.
Configuration work focused on invoice capture and coding, vendor master setup and maintenance, electronic payment handling, tax allocation workflows, and purchase order to invoice matching. The implementation included defined approval routing and invoice coding standards, and Ascensus personnel created standard operating procedures for order flow and the MHC Image Express imaging project to standardize processing and data entry practices.
The Infor Lawson Accounts Payable implementation explicitly interfaced with existing platforms listed in the project notes, including Footprints for ticketing and support, IronClad Contractual for contract review workflows, Concur for expense linkage, and Microsoft Dynamics ERP via MHC Image Express for invoice imaging and PO reconciliation. Operational coverage included accounts payable specialists working directly with departmental stakeholders and the tax department to support self assessed tax invoices and the Vendor Management tax package.
Governance changes emphasized SOP creation, formalized vendor setup and maintenance procedures, structured approval workflows with department head signoff, and support processes for audit requests.
