AUTOMATIC PAYMENT COMPONENT FOR AN ELECTRONIC INVOICE PAYMENT SYSTEM

摘要

An automatic invoice payment system includes a database stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the database including a plurality of records, each record corresponding to an invoice issued by a vendor for payment from a buyer. A network interface is configured to receive presented invoices from multiple vendors for payment by multiple buyers, wherein the presented invoices are stored in the database. The processor is configured to analyze each invoice that has been presented to determine whether the presented invoice satisfies one or more predetermined rules, and when the processor determines that the presented invoice satisfies the one or more predetermined rules, to automatically set a payment initiation date upon which payment of the presented invoice is to be automatically initiated. The processor may be configured to perform such operations by the execution of an automatic payment application stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium.
