Why Finance Teams Choose Centime Rapid Coding

AI-Powered Predictions

Centime's AI analyzes your invoice history to automatically suggest GL codes, departments, classes, locations, and custom fields—at both header and line levels. The more you use it, the smarter it gets.

Header & Line-Level Coding

Unlike basic tools that only code invoice totals, Centime captures and predicts coding for every line item—including descriptions, quantities, rates, and amounts for complete expense visibility.

Learns Your Business

The system remembers vendor-specific coding patterns, adapts to different invoice types from the same supplier, and improves accuracy over time as you make adjustments.

Native ERP Integration

Fully embedded in NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks with real-time sync—extracted data flows directly to your GL without export/import hassles.

Powerful UX for Complex Coding

Intuitive keyboard navigation, bulk edits, enhanced dropdowns, dedicated coding tab, and drag-and-drop line reordering—built for teams managing hundreds of invoices with intricate coding needs.

Intelligent Coding Predictions

AI that understands your business—not just your invoices.

Centime uses machine learning to analyze previously coded invoices and automatically predict the correct GL coding for new invoices with a single click. The AI recognizes invoice structure contextually, matching supplier names, line-item descriptions, ship-to addresses, and account numbers to identify similar past transactions—even when different invoices from the same vendor require different categorizations.
  • Header-Level: GL account, department, class, location, custom dimensions
  • Line-Level: Item codes, expense accounts, departments, classes, locations, custom fields
  • Intelligent Recognition: Adapts coding based on line descriptions, product codes, and invoice variations

Predicted fields are clearly highlighted in blue with hover text showing the source invoice, allowing quick review and confidence in AI suggestions.

Dedicated Coding Workspace

Everything you need in one focused interface.

Centime provides a dedicated coding tab designed specifically for AP teams handling complex invoices with multiple lines and dimensions:
  • Full Visibility: See the source document, all line-level detail, and coding fields side by side—no toggling between screens
  • Keyboard-Controlled Navigation: Code entire invoices using keyboard shortcuts without touching your mouse
  • Enhanced Dropdowns: Smart search and filtering make it easy to find the right GL accounts and dimensions quickly
  • Bulk Editing: Apply coding to multiple lines at once for faster processing
  • Drag-and-Drop Reordering: Rearrange invoice lines as needed for logical organization
  • Dynamic Table Heights: Adjust views to handle invoices with 5 lines or 500 lines with equal ease

Flexible Coding Options

Configure coding behavior to match your AP processes.

Centime adapts to your business needs with configurable coding modes:
  • Line-Level Capture (Default): Captures each individual line with quantities, rates, and amounts. Invoice lines can be coded individually for granular expense tracking and detailed reporting.
  • Aggregate Capture: Combines all invoice lines into one expense line for simpler coding—ideal for vendors where line-item detail isn't needed (e.g., utilities, subscriptions).
  • User-Divided Invoices: Split invoice amounts between departments, projects, or cost centers with custom allocations—perfect for shared services like phone bills or rent.

Continuous Learning System

The more you use it, the better it gets.

Centime's Rapid Coding doesn't just predict—it learns. Each time you adjust a GL code, change a department assignment, or split an invoice differently, the AI incorporates that feedback into future predictions. The system becomes increasingly accurate at matching vendor-specific patterns, distinguishing between invoice types, and applying your custom dimension logic automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rapid Invoice Coding, and how does it improve invoice processing?

Rapid Invoice Coding significantly reduces manual work by predicting header and line-level GL accounts, departments, classes, and custom fields based on similar invoices previously processed in Centime. The AI analyzes invoice data—including line descriptions, ship-to addresses, and account numbers—to find confident matches and apply coding automatically. As you process more invoices, the system gets smarter and more accurate.

What coding fields does Centime predict?

Centime predicts all coding fields at both header and line levels, including GL accounts, item codes, departments, classes, locations, projects, and any custom fields you've added to your invoice form. It does not predict free-text fields, dates, or amounts (like invoice numbers or memos). Predicted fields appear with blue highlights and hover text showing the source invoice.

How does AI-powered coding reduce errors compared to manual entry?

AI-powered coding eliminates human errors by automating repetitive data entry based on historical patterns. Unlike manual coding, which is prone to miskeying and inconsistencies, Centime's AI analyzes past invoices, recognizes supplier-specific patterns, and applies them accurately. The system learns from every adjustment you make, continuously improving accuracy and reducing costly mistakes.

What happens if the AI assigns the wrong code to an invoice?

Predicted codes are clearly identified with blue highlights, and the intuitive interface lets you review or adjust as needed. Each manual correction trains the system to predict more accurately on future invoices from that supplier. The more you use it, the better it gets.

Does Rapid Coding support multi-line invoices and complex coding?

Yes. Centime predicts both header and line-level coding and uses line-item descriptions and product codes to differentiate how individual lines should be coded. The system is nuanced enough to learn that different invoices from the same supplier may require different categorizations. The dedicated coding workspace with keyboard navigation, bulk edits, and drag-and-drop reordering makes it easy to handle invoices with hundreds of lines.

Can I split invoices between departments or cost centers?

Absolutely. Centime supports user-divided invoices where you can allocate invoice amounts across multiple departments, projects, or cost centers. This is perfect for shared expenses like phone bills, rent, or utilities that need to be split according to your business rules.

How does Centime integrate with my ERP?

Centime is fully embedded in NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks—not bolted on. Predicted coding syncs to your ERP in real time, maintaining data consistency and eliminating manual export/import processes. All invoice data, including custom dimensions, flows directly to your GL.

How do I improve auto-coding accuracy over time?

To maximize accuracy: (1) Code all fields accurately before posting—this trains the AI for future invoices. (2) Maintain consistent line descriptions from captured invoices. (3) Use custom fields (department, class, location) consistently across your organization. The AI learns from every invoice you process and every adjustment you make.
