Invoice ingestion using Application programming interface (API)
The invoice ingestion API enables customers to ingest bulk AP invoices from external systems such as supplier billing systems, buyer network, and OCR solutions, supplier networks into APO. The supported payload formats are cXML, JSON and XML.
The system property [ap.invoice.create.api.record_limit] enables users to set the maximum number of invoices that can be processed in a batch using the AP invoice create API.
The Rate limit AP invoice xml defines the maximum number of API calls invoked by external systems according to hour.
The APO application verifies that users have valid authorization to access the APIs.

- Purchase order
- Legal entity
