Accounts payable automation

Can you guys please share with me any good experiences with AP Automation software? I want to hear from actual users, not sales people please. We've tried Auto Entry a little bit and had some struggles with it. And if I have to sit through one more demo with another sales person from another app/software I might scream lol. I have yet to have a demo with someone who even knows Sage at all. Sage 50 Canada is what we're running. Would love any info you can share. Thanks!

    auto entry is very good once you get used to it and train it to do categorizing.  It is worth every penny.  Not only do you get invoicing auto entered but you get detailed entry completed without hassle.

    Running Sage50 Canada here too. @ DEWDL, How do you get anything done in the sales invoices inbox in Autoentry with all the errors?

    I would love this to work properly but I can barely get a page of 50 invoices to sync without any errors between sage and autoentry.

    Having to logoff the desktop sync, open the task manager to close mysql, relog sage with desktop sync, resync in autoentry, unpublish, republish... it doesn't seem to save much time.

    ie: Error: 'Thread was being aborted.' is one of the most common and why I'm lurking here today in case someone else has found a solution. There are one or two other errors that keep popping upwithout rhyme or reason..

    I'm not ranting, I'm actually looking for any insight into my issues.... perhaps I need my own thread.

    I've had ride alongs with Autoentry CS and we just go in circles... After 10 or 15 mins of relogging and resyncing and waiting and waiting... they're always extatic and happy for me when the error goes away. but the errors come back... typically the very next page of 50 invoices to post and sync. Not always! But the next 50 will get em.

    We're always running the desktop service and we run multi-user except for backups at the end of the day.

    I've end up making a separate email account and user login for autoentry that made a bit of a difference but it appears there are timeout issues on Sage end when we do large batches 200+ orders.

    So as not to hijack the thread; Even with the errors we still use Autoentry for our sales invoices since we can export our orders to PDF from Shopify and it does save time vs cut and paste... at least it feels like it does once you get rolling.

    What would really put Autoentry over the top and save a ton of time would be the ability to mark the sales invoices paid from the browser client rather than having to go into sage to receive payments.

    Cheers
