You can email invoices and bills directly to PEX for automatic processing. PEX uses AI to extract vendor details, amounts, and due dates from your emailed documents, then converts them into bill payment requests. Use the Bill Inbox tab to manage incoming bills, and the Review tab to approve or reject them.

​
Prerequisites

Before you can email bills to PEX, ensure the following are enabled for your business:
  • “Bill pay” setting
    • Go to Business settings > Profile > click Edit > select Enable for Bill Pay > click Update.
    Bill Pay setting in Business settings
  • You must be an Admin. The Bill Inbox is only accessible to users with the Admin role.
