Abstract
An automated invoice management system includes a network circuit for communicating invoice transactions with a plurality of client systems. The automated invoice management system receives an import invoice transaction compliant with a first client transaction definition from a first client system. The import invoice transaction identifies a second client system and amounts due from a second client system associated with the second client. The import invoice transaction is translated to a normalized invoice transaction and the normalized transaction is translated to an export invoice transaction compliant with a second client transaction definition.
