What is manual invoice key in costing your team?
Estimate the monthly hours and staff value tied up in repetitive supplier-invoice entry. Use the result to decide whether the workflow is worth changing.
Count the whole workflow.
Data entry
Include supplier lookup, invoice fields, line-item typing and stock or GL code selection.
Correction
Include fixing totals, duplicate entries, wrong codes and rejected imports before month end.
Turn the estimate into a measured baseline.
- Sample at least 30 representative supplier documents.
- Record collection, key-in, checking and posting time separately.
- Note how many documents need supplier or code correction.
- Run the same sample through an automation pilot.
- Compare total human time and error correction—not OCR speed alone.
