Invoice receipt
AIMZ and Compello
Compello receives your invoices. AIMZ fetches them the moment they arrive – amount, supplier and image – and makes them visible to everyone on the project before anyone has approved anything.
Why this matters
Everyone sees the invoice right away – not just the approver
Usually only one person knows an invoice has arrived: whoever it's awaiting approval from. Everyone else on the project discovers the cost once it's booked, maybe weeks later. If the invoice sits during a holiday or on a desk, it's invisible for that long.
With Compello connected to AIMZ, the invoice is registered as received the moment it arrives. Amount, supplier and image are visible to the whole project right away, and the forecast shows it as an expected cost – clearly marked as not booked yet.
- Amount, supplier and invoice image visible to the whole project on receipt
- Nobody depends on the approver being available to see the cost
- Received, not booked is shown as its own line – never mixed into booked figures
- Unexpected invoices are caught while there's still time to raise them

How it works
From receipt in Compello to a visible cost in AIMZ
Your approval flow doesn't change. AIMZ sits alongside it: the invoice becomes visible to the project on receipt, and continues to approval and booking as before.
- 1
Connect the inbox
AIMZ connects to Compello as read-only. Your approval flow and rules aren't touched.
- 2
The invoice is registered as received
The moment the invoice arrives, amount, supplier and image are visible on the project in AIMZ – marked as received, not booked.
- 3
Approval and booking as before
The invoice continues through Compello to the ERP system. Once it's booked, the line changes status and the forecast builds on the booked figure.
What syncs
Receipt is the source, the ledger is the truth
Data flows one way: from Compello to AIMZ. Received invoices are kept clearly separate from booked ones, so the forecast never mixes what's certain with what's expected.

Does this change our approval flow?
No. The invoice goes through Compello and on to the ERP system exactly as before, with the same rules and the same approvers. AIMZ only reads along, and makes the cost visible to the project earlier.
What does 'received' mean in AIMZ?
It's a distinct status: the invoice has arrived but isn't approved or booked yet. The amount is shown as an expected cost and kept separate from booked figures, so you can always see the difference between what's certain and what's expected.
Does the forecast get distorted by unapproved invoices?
No, because they aren't mixed in. Received invoices are summed on their own line. You see both the booked cost and what's sitting in receipt – and can choose whether to manage against one or both.
Who can see the invoice?
Anyone with access to the project in AIMZ. The point is precisely that the project manager, finance and management see the same invoice at the same time, instead of the knowledge sitting only with whoever it's awaiting approval from.
What if an invoice sits unopened for weeks?
It's still visible in AIMZ from day one, with a receipt date. This is often where money disappears: an invoice nobody has seen can't be disputed, re-invoiced or linked to a change claim before the deadline runs out.
