What is accounts payable (AP) document management?

Accounts payable (AP) departments face a weekly, if not daily, onslaught of invoices and other documents pouring in from various locations and in various formats. Capturing and organizing this mountain of data is a constant challenge, but many of the current processes are inefficient and error-prone.
