From approved invoice
to paid. In one flow.
Connect Embat to Cortena and invoices that clear approval go straight to a payment batch. Amounts lock the moment you send for payment. Confirmation comes back automatically.
Five steps from approval to treasury update.
Cortena handles the hand-offs. You stay in control of every release.
Connect Embat company
Link your Embat company once in Cortena settings. Credentials are encrypted and scoped to payment dispatch only.
Ready for payment
Approved invoices surface automatically in the payment queue. Due dates, payment terms, and supplier IBANs carry over from the invoice.
Send for payment
Select one invoice or the whole batch and hit send. Amounts lock immediately: no edits are possible while a payment is in flight.
Await confirmation
Cortena polls Embat. Each payment comes back as paid or rejected. Rejected payments return to the queue with a reason so your team can act fast.
Update treasury
Confirmed payments sync back to Embat. The invoice is marked paid in Cortena and ready for export to your accounting system.
AP and treasury. One clean loop.
No copy-paste between tools. No manual status checks. The invoice data that drove the approval drives the payment.
Amounts locked in flight
The moment you hit send, amounts are frozen. No accidental edits, no duplicate runs.
Bulk and single-invoice mode
Send one urgent supplier or a full month of payables. The batch respects your approval workflow.
Automatic status polling
Cortena polls Embat until each payment resolves. Paid invoices are closed; rejected ones come back with a reason.
Sync-back to treasury
Confirmed payments update Embat automatically. Your cash position stays accurate without a separate reconciliation run.
Ready for export after payment
Once paid, invoices move to Ready for export. Book them straight to DATEV or Exact Online with no extra steps.
Full audit trail
Every send, confirmation, and rejection is logged with a timestamp. Nothing gets lost between AP and treasury.

Common questions about the Embat integration.
Embat is a treasury management platform for European companies. It centralises cash positions, payment runs, and bank connectivity. Cortena's integration routes approved payables into Embat payment batches and syncs the results back.
Yes. The integration is live. Book a demo and we onboard you hands-on at no extra charge.
Cortena receives the rejection and reason from Embat and returns the invoice to the payment queue. Your team is notified and can correct the payment details and re-send.
Yes. Once Embat confirms a payment, the invoice moves to Ready for export in Cortena. You can then export the posting to DATEV or Exact Online as usual. Both flows are independent.
Cortena connects via OAuth and stores only a scoped access token. Credentials are encrypted at rest on Hetzner servers in Germany and are never used beyond payment dispatch.
