Every supplier invoice, coded and approved. Without the keying.
Cortena reads each invoice the moment it arrives, codes every line to the GL account, cost centre and VAT key your books expect, routes it through your approval matrix, and hands your ledger a booking-ready batch.

Follow one invoice through.
This is RE-2026-4471, an invoice from Elektro Bergmann GmbH. Four chapters take it from your inbox to your ledger, and your team touches it exactly once.
It starts in the inbox.
Forward your invoice inbox once. Email attachments, PDF uploads and e-invoices in ZUGFeRD or XRechnung land in Cortena and are read down to the line item, and every new arrival is checked against what is already captured. Duplicates never reach your team.
Coded like your best bookkeeper would.
Every line gets a GL account, a cost centre and the right VAT key, following the chart of accounts and the habits Cortena learned from your books. When it has seen the pattern before, it codes with confidence. When it has not, it flags the line and asks instead of guessing.
Approval finds the right people.
Your approval matrix routes each invoice by amount, cost centre and entity. Approvers get a nudge in Slack or email and sign off in one click, with the invoice and its coding in front of them. Delegation covers holidays, reminders keep things moving, and every decision is logged.
Handed to your ledger, booking-ready.
Approved invoices join a posting batch with the account, VAT key and cost centre on every row and the original document attached. One click sends it to DATEV Unternehmen online. Exact Online and Twinfield are served the same way.

Cortena proposes, your team approves. Nothing reaches the ledger until the required people have signed off.
The numbers finance teams hold us to.
After the first weeks of corrections, around 90% of invoices are coded end to end without anyone touching them.
The invoices that do need a human take about 30 seconds each. A review and a click, not ten minutes of keying.
Most teams send their first live posting batch within 15 days of kickoff, on their own chart of accounts.
Accounts payable automation, answered.
Everything finance leads ask before they run a week of real invoices through Cortena.
Cortena captures invoices from a forwarded email inbox, direct PDF uploads, and e-invoice formats including ZUGFeRD and XRechnung. It extracts header and line-item data from every document and flags duplicates before they reach your team.
After a short learning period on your books, around 90% of invoices are coded to the right GL account, cost centre and VAT key without a human touch. Lines Cortena is unsure about are flagged for review, and nothing posts until you approve.
Yes. Cortena codes to SKR03 or SKR04 with the correct BU key and cost centre for DATEV, and maps to your chart of accounts in Exact Online and Twinfield in the same way.
You define an approval matrix with amount thresholds, delegation and multi-entity routing, all in the interface. Approvers are nudged in Slack or email and sign off in one click, and every decision is logged with who approved and when.
Cortena keeps GoBD-aligned records. Every step from capture to posting is logged and tamper-evident, and the original document stays attached to its booking. All data is hosted in the EU.
Most teams are live within 15 days. Setup means forwarding your invoice inbox, connecting your ledger, and mapping your accounts and approval rules. There is no IT project.
