Invoice Issuing System

How Iqra Technology built a structured Invoice Issuing System on Joget DX for a large-scale Japanese energy company — automating invoice generation, multi-level approval, and SAP-integrated dispatch to eliminate manual billing delays end-to-end.

Client Overview

A large-scale energy and utilities company in Japan generating a high volume of invoices monthly across multiple business units, customer accounts, and service categories. The billing team manages complex invoicing requirements including milestone-based project billing, recurring service charges, and ad hoc transaction invoices — each requiring structured data validation and multi-level approval before dispatch.

The existing invoice issuing process was largely manual: billing staff compiled invoice data from spreadsheets and SAP records, created invoices in individual documents, obtained approvals via email, and dispatched invoices manually to customers — time-consuming, error-prone, and causing significant delays between service delivery and invoice receipt.

Iqra Technology was engaged to build a structured Invoice Issuing System on Joget DX that automates invoice data compilation from SAP, generates formatted invoice PDFs, routes them through the appropriate approval workflow, and dispatches them to customers automatically upon authorization — reducing billing cycle time from days to hours.

Project Overview

The project delivered a fully automated Invoice Issuing System on Joget DX covering the complete billing lifecycle — from structured invoice request initiation and SAP data pull, through automated PDF invoice generation and multi-level finance approval, to customer dispatch and SAP record update. Every invoice follows a defined, governed process with full data validation and audit tracking.

The system supports multiple invoice types (project milestone, recurring, ad hoc) with type-specific data requirements, approval chains, and dispatch rules — ensuring the correct billing governance model is applied automatically based on the invoice category submitted.

Client Requirements

  • Automate invoice data compilation from SAP records into structured Joget invoice forms.
  • Generate formatted invoice PDFs automatically from approved Joget data.
  • Implement multi-level finance approval based on invoice value and type.
  • Automate customer invoice dispatch via email upon final approval.
  • Update SAP with invoice issued status and customer notification records in real time.
  • Support multiple invoice types (milestone, recurring, ad hoc) with type-specific workflows.
  • Maintain a complete audit trail of invoice creation, approval decisions, and dispatch events.
  • Provide a management dashboard showing invoice volumes, approval status, and dispatch performance.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1Billing staff spent significant time manually extracting invoice data from SAP and transferring it into invoice document templates — a slow, repetitive process prone to data transcription mistakes that created a bottleneck in the billing cycle.
SolutionBuilt a SAP-integrated invoice data pull in Joget DX that automatically retrieves the relevant billing data (customer details, service lines, amounts, and reference numbers) from SAP and populates the Joget invoice form — eliminating manual data extraction and transcription errors entirely.
Problem 2Invoice approvals were obtained informally via email, with no enforcement of value-based authorization levels — invoices of any size could be approved by the same individuals, creating compliance exposure for high-value billing without appropriate senior authorization.
SolutionImplemented value-based dynamic approval routing in Joget where invoices are automatically routed to different approval chains based on their total value. Standard invoices follow a single-level approval while high-value invoices require multi-level sign-off including senior finance authorization — with sequential enforcement at each stage.
Problem 3After approval, invoices were manually emailed to customers by billing staff — introducing delays between approval and customer receipt and leaving no centralized record of when and to whom each invoice was dispatched.
SolutionAutomated the invoice dispatch process in Joget so that upon final approval, the system immediately generates the formatted PDF invoice and sends it to the customer's registered email address — logging the dispatch event, timestamp, and delivery confirmation automatically in the audit trail.
