What is scan service?

The scanning service enables you to receive invoices sent to your company via post and email as e-invoices. With scan service, you can combine paper, email and e-invoice receiving and get rid of paper completely, guaranteeing you a more efficient use of your time. All you have to do is open a scan account for your company and ask those vendors who don't yet send e-invoices to send the invoices to the scan address. Scan service scans incoming invoices and interprets basic information to generate an electronic invoice. Scanned fields are listed in this article.

How to activate the service?

  1. Log on to your Maventa account https://secure.maventa.com/users/login?lang=EN
  2. Click 'Settings' (from the top right corner)
  3. Click 'Scan account' under 'Extra services' from the left menu
  4. Add your postal address and email for delivery of non-invoice material
  5. Choose 'I accept the pricing and agreements and want to open a scan account' and then click 'Order'
