Invoice Gathering Methods
Vendor Invoice files can be gathered into Discovery by one of four primary Gather methods. These include:
Rover | Intelligent Invoice Retrieval
If you've opted in for automated Vendor Invoice retrieval, then Vendor Invoices are Gathered daily from your Vendor and imported directly into Discovery for data Extraction. We refer to this invoice retrieval method as Rover.
To set up this process, please see Rover Credentials to learn more.
Email Attachment
When a Gather account plan is activated for your Discovery Tenant, an email address alias (your-company-********@discoveryapp.cc) is created on your behalf solely for Gather functionality. Any emails sent to this address with Vendor Invoices attached will Gather them into Discovery for data Extraction.
To see the Gather Vendor Invoices by Email process in action, please click the Take A Tour button below.
Batch Import (manual)
When logged into your Discovery account, you can also batch in Vendor Invoices manually.
