How to control incoming supplier invoices in Sage 50/200
Sage 50 and Sage 200 are the reference ERPs for mid-sized Spanish companies. Solid accounting, complete tax filings, bank reconciliation, project management. What they don't cover with the depth you need when receiving 100-2,000 invoices per month: line-by-line matching against POs and delivery notes. ininvoice handles that specific piece as a layer in front of Sage.
Sage books. ininvoice validates.

Which Sage SMEs is this a fit for
- Mid-sized SMEs (50-300 employees) on Sage 50 or Sage 200 with high inbound volume.
- Accounting firms managing AP for multiple clients in Sage Despachos.
- Companies with the Digital Docs / Autoscan module that need to add three-way matching.
- Distribution, manufacturing, construction with many open POs.
The Sage + ininvoice flow
- Your supplier sends an invoice by email (PDF or a scan/photo).
- ininvoice captures it, reads it line by line, finds the PO, validates the delivery note.
- If it matches, it exports a CSV ready to import into Sage and post.
- If there's an exception, it routes the case. The invoice does not enter Sage until it's resolved.
- Sage posts with clean data, reconciles with the bank, files form 303 without surprises.
Sage Digital Docs / Autoscan: we coexist
If you already have Sage Digital Docs or Autoscan, ininvoice complements their work. The Sage modules digitize the invoice. ininvoice adds the matching and exception-control layer that goes beyond digitization. You don't have to give up what you already have; you enrich it.
Compliance 2026-2027
- Mandatory e-invoicing: large suppliers begin sending structured e-invoices from September 2026. Whatever the format, the invoice still has to be checked against its PO and delivery note before you post it, and that is ininvoice's job.
- Verifactu: the regulation binds the issuer. As the receiver you still have to control each invoice before paying it.
- SII: Sage handles reporting. ininvoice makes sure the data arrives clean and on time.
