Take the Hassle Out of AP: Introducing MYOB Greentree eInvoicing

Both the Australian and New Zealand governments are pushing hard on eInvoicing adoption, with central agencies already required to receive eInvoices and broader mandates on the way.

MYOB Greentree eInvoicing is designed to help you modernise your AP processes without re-implementing your ERP. It allows you to receive supplier invoices electronically via the secure Peppol eInvoicing Network, with invoices delivered straight into MYOB Greentree, validated, and ready for approval.

In short: less paper, less manual entry, fewer errors – and faster payments.

What is eInvoicing (and Peppol) in Plain English?

eInvoicing is the secure, system-to-system exchange of invoice data between buyers and suppliers. Instead of:

• Supplier generating a PDF
• Emailing it to you
• Someone in AP downloading, printing, or keying it into Greentree

…the invoice is sent digitally from your supplier’s system, across a certified network, and lands directly in your Greentree database as an electronic invoice ready to review and post.

In Australia and New Zealand, this happens over the Peppol eInvoicing Network:

• Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is an international standard that defines how eInvoices are structured and securely exchanged.
• Both governments have adopted Peppol as the official framework for eInvoicing and are steadily expanding mandates for agencies to be able to send, receive, and pay eInvoices faster.

You don’t need to worry about the technical plumbing. MYOB Greentree eInvoicing takes care of those standards and connections behind the scenes – your team works in Greentree as usual.

How MYOB Greentree eInvoicing Works

The MYOB Greentree eInvoicing module is built to work with your existing Greentree environment, AP processes, and approvals.

At a high level, the flow looks like this:

1. Supplier sends an eInvoice
   Your supplier generates an invoice in their accounting system and sends it via the Peppol network.
2. Invoice lands directly in Greentree
   Instead of arriving as an email attachment, the invoice is delivered straight into MYOB Greentree as structured data. No scanning or manual data entry.
3. Automatic validation and coding
   Greentree validates key fields, applies business rules, and can match eInvoices to purchase orders where applicable. Exceptions and discrepancies can be flagged before posting.
4. Post to AP and approve as normal
   Approved invoices are posted into your AP modules, just like today – only with fewer errors and less rework.
5. Full audit trail and error handling
   Every step is logged, giving you clear visibility and traceability from receipt through to payment, with built-in error handling if something doesn’t look right.

For your AP team, the big difference is what they don’t have to do anymore: printing, re-keying, chasing down missing invoices, or deciphering fuzzy scans.

Extend eInvoicing from AP to AR with Verde’s “Sending eInvoices” App

Receiving eInvoices from suppliers is only half of the story. Many organisations also want to send eInvoices to their customers over the Peppol network – especially where customers are government agencies or larger corporates who prefer (or require) Peppol.

To support this, Verde has developed App 140006 – Sending eInvoices as part of our Apps for Greentree offering. This app extends the standard MYOB Greentree eInvoicing capability so you can:

• Send eInvoices from MYOB Greentree to customers who have opted to receive invoices electronically via the Peppol network rather than by email.
• Keep your team in familiar Greentree screens while invoices are transformed and delivered in a Peppol-compatible format behind the scenes.
  
  

How the Verde Sending eInvoices App Works

The app connects MYOB Greentree to its 3rd party partner Xtracta through a new eDocs workflow:

1. Your AR team creates and approves an invoice in MYOB Greentree as usual.
2. The new eDocs workflow sends the invoice to Xtracta.
3. Xtracta transforms the MYOB Greentree invoice into a Peppol-compatible eInvoice.
4. The Peppol-ready invoice is then submitted to your customer’s system over the Peppol network.
5. Any issues with receiving the invoice in Xtracta are managed using Xtracta’s standard error-handling tools, giving your team clear visibility and control.

The result is a full end-to-end eInvoicing capability in Greentree – not just receiving invoices from suppliers (AP), but also sending eInvoices to customers (AR), all while staying within the Greentree environment your team already knows.

Why It Matters Now: AU & NZ Government Direction

Even if you’re not supplying to government today, the direction of travel is clear: eInvoicing is becoming the default way to trade.

• In New Zealand, central government agencies have been required to receive eInvoices via Peppol since 2022, and new rules are expanding eInvoicing and faster payment requirements across more agencies, including commitments to pay eInvoices within tight 5–10 day windows.
• In Australia, the ATO and federal government are also ramping up eInvoicing initiatives and targets, using Peppol as the standard network.

While eInvoicing isn’t mandatory for all businesses yet, businesses that sell to government, operate in complex supply chains, or simply want to de-risk and streamline their AP processes are adopting now rather than waiting to be pushed by legislation or trading partners

MYOB Greentree eInvoicing helps you:

• Stay aligned with AU/NZ eInvoicing mandates
• Be easier to do business with for customers and suppliers who already use Peppol
• Future-proof your AP processes as eInvoicing becomes “the new normal”

Key Benefits for Greentree Customers

1. Faster Processing and Fewer Bottlenecks

Because invoices travel directly between systems, you remove delays caused by:

• Emails sitting unread in shared inboxes
• Lost attachments or spam filters
• Paper copies floating between desks

Invoices arrive in Greentree ready to review and approve, so you can move from “received” to “ready to pay” much faster.

2. Better Data Accuracy

Manual entry is where most AP errors creep in: typos, wrong supplier codes, mis-keyed amounts, incorrect dates.

With eInvoicing:

• Data is sent in a structured, standardised format from your supplier’s system
• Greentree validates fields and applies business rules
• You dramatically reduce the risk of human error and rework

The result is cleaner AP data and fewer invoice disputes.

3. Stronger Cash Flow Control

Faster, more accurate processing means:

• You’re able to take advantage of early payment discounts where offered
• You’re less likely to miss due dates and incur late fees
• You can manage working capital with more confidence because your AP position is more up-to-date

For businesses trading with government agencies, eInvoicing can also help you benefit from their faster payment commitments.

4. Security and Fraud Resistance

Email-based invoicing is vulnerable to:

• Spoofed invoices and phishing
• Intercepted PDFs with altered bank details
• Invoices being forwarded or shared without clear control

The Peppol network is a secure, government-endorsed framework with certified Access Points, designed to reduce invoice tampering and fraud.

Layering that with Greentree’s approval workflows and audit trails gives you a much stronger control environment than email + PDF + manual checks.

5. Less Paper, Less Admin, More Sustainability

Moving away from paper and printed PDFs isn’t just good for efficiency:

• No printing, posting, or physical filing
• Fewer storage cupboards and archive boxes
• A tangible contribution to your organisation’s environmental and sustainability goals

Your AP team can spend more time on exceptions, analysis, and supplier relationships – and less time pushing paper.

What Changes for Your AP Team Day-to-Day?

With MYOB Greentree eInvoicing in place, AP work starts to look more like monitoring and exception handling, and less like manual data entry.

Practically, that can mean:

• Cleaner inboxes – fewer PDF attachments and invoice emails
• Standardised processing – invoices follow the same digital path, regardless of supplier
• Clear visibility – easier to see where invoices are in the process and what’s waiting on approval
• Better collaboration with procurement and finance because data is more reliable and timely

You’re not ripping out your existing Greentree AP setup – you’re upgrading the way invoices enter the system.

Is MYOB Greentree eInvoicing Right for You?

Greentree eInvoicing is particularly valuable if:

• You process a high volume of supplier invoices each month
• You trade with Australian or New Zealand government agencies or expect to in future
• Your AP team spends a lot of time keying data, chasing missing invoices, or fixing coding errors
• You’re focused on tightening internal controls, reducing fraud risk, or improving audit readiness
• Sustainability and reducing paper usage are part of your organisational goals

If any of these resonate, eInvoicing can deliver quick wins without a major ERP project.
