Every financial transaction. One connected financial picture.

Your finance team should not have to search through invoices, spreadsheets, expense records, payment lists and separate reports to understand the business. SIX FinanceFlow connects customer invoices, supplier obligations, expenses, payments, budgets, accounting entries and financial reports in one controlled system, giving finance teams and management a current view of cash flow, costs, revenue and profitability.

Turn financial activity into reliable business control

From the first sale or purchase to payment and financial reporting, every responsible team works with the same current information. Create and approve invoices and expenses, monitor receivables and payables, track due dates, record payments, control budgets and preserve supporting documents in one structured process.

SIX FinanceFlow helps reduce duplicate data entry, missed obligations and uncertainty about the company’s financial position. Because transactions remain connected with sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, projects and services, management can understand where every financial result came from and make better informed decisions.

One complete and traceable financial record

Keep invoices, credit notes, expenses, payments, approvals, supporting documents and accounting entries together. Give authorized finance teams and management a reliable view of every transaction from its original business activity to final settlement.

Receivables and payables under control

Monitor outstanding customer balances, supplier obligations, due dates and payment statuses in one place. Help responsible teams follow up on overdue receivables, prepare upcoming payments and reduce missed financial commitments.

Cash flow and budgets made visible

Connect expected income, planned spending, approved budgets and actual financial activity. Understand what money is available, what is expected and where costs are increasing before they create liquidity or budget problems.

Financial reporting you can trust

Build reports from connected sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, project and service transactions. Trace financial figures back to their original records and give management dependable information for analysis, planning and controlled decision-making.

How it works

SIX FinanceFlow connects every financial transaction to the business activity that created it and to each process that follows. SalesFlow provides revenue, quotations, orders, and customer billing information, while PurchaseFlow contributes supplier costs, purchase commitments, invoices, and payment obligations. StockFlow supplies inventory values and stock movements, ManufacturingFlow adds material consumption and production costs, ServiceFlow transfers completed work and billable activities, ProjectFlow connects budgets and project expenses, PeopleFlow provides payroll and time-related costs, and CustomerFlow maintains customer accounts, credit information, and payment history. Finance teams can move from a financial entry back to its original order, delivery, work order, purchase, expense, or approval without searching through separate systems. Invoices remain connected to payments, goods receipts, deliveries, contracts, and responsible employees, creating a complete audit trail. Current information flows into accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash flow, cost control, financial reporting, and management dashboards, giving finance employees the context behind every number and a reliable view of what happened before, what must happen next, and how each transaction affects the wider business.

From business activity to financial clarity

Connect every stage of financial management, from invoice creation and expense approval to due-date control, payment, accounting and reporting. SIX FinanceFlow keeps finance, sales, purchasing, operations and leadership working from the same reliable financial information.

Control the complete financial process with SIX FinanceFlow

SIX FinanceFlow keeps every financial stage connected. Create and approve customer invoices, supplier obligations and expenses, monitor receivables and payables, record payments, control budgets and preserve supporting documents in one structured process.

Because each financial transaction remains connected with its original business activity, management can trace results, reduce repeated data entry and understand the company’s current financial position with greater confidence.

One financial flow. Three connected stages.

From the first business transaction to payment, accounting, reporting and regulatory preparation, SIX FinanceFlow keeps invoices, expenses, balances, documents and financial entries connected. Explore the three stages that help your organization control daily finance, understand performance and support complete financial compliance.

Create Accurate Customer Invoices

Turn confirmed sales, deliveries, completed service work or project milestones into customer invoices. Apply the correct customer data, currency, tax treatment, payment terms and due dates while preserving the connection with the original business transaction.

Record Supplier Invoices and Obligations

Capture supplier invoices and connect them with purchase orders, delivered goods or received services. Confirm quantities, prices, taxes and payment terms before creating a financial obligation that must be approved and paid.

Capture Expenses With Supporting Evidence

Record employee and operational expenses with the correct category, amount, project, department and supporting document. Route expenses through approval before they become part of the company’s financial result.

Control Approvals and Financial Access

Apply structured approvals and role-based access to sensitive transactions. Separate preparation, review and authorization responsibilities while preserving a clear record of who created, changed, approved or rejected each financial document.

Monitor Receivables and Collections

Track issued invoices, outstanding customer balances, due dates, partial payments and overdue amounts. Give finance and sales teams a current view of what customers owe and which receivables require follow-up.

Schedule Payables and Supplier Payments

See approved supplier obligations, due dates and expected payment amounts in one place. Plan outgoing payments according to priority, available funds and agreed supplier terms while reducing late payments and duplicate settlement.

Record Payments and Settle Documents

Connect incoming and outgoing payments with the correct invoices, credit notes or obligations. Preserve open balances, partial settlements and payment history so finance teams can understand exactly what has been paid and what remains outstanding.

Monitor Cash Position and Budgets

Compare expected income, planned payments, approved budgets and actual spending. Identify cash shortages, unusual cost increases and budget deviations early enough for management to respond before they affect operations.

Maintain a Structured General Ledger

Organize financial entries through the appropriate accounts, periods, departments, cost centers and business references. Keep postings connected with their source documents so financial results remain explainable and traceable.

Produce Financial and Management Reports

Use connected transaction data to prepare financial statements, account balances, revenue and cost analysis, cash reports and management views. Give leadership reliable information for planning, performance analysis and informed decision-making.

Preserve a Complete Financial Audit Trail

Maintain the relationship between source transactions, approvals, documents, payments and accounting entries. Support internal control and external review with traceable records showing what happened, when it happened and who was responsible.

Support Tax, E-Invoicing and SAF-T Compliance

Configure tax codes, document numbering, structured invoice formats, reporting mappings and retention rules for the applicable jurisdiction. SIX FinanceFlow supports regulated financial processes and audit-ready data, while final compliance depends on correct configuration, current local requirements and controlled company procedures.

Solutions FinanceFlow Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is SIX FinanceFlow?

    SIX FinanceFlow is the financial management part of SIX ERP. It connects invoicing, expenses, payments, budgets, accounting and financial reporting in one controlled process. Finance teams and management get reliable figures, faster approvals and a current view of cash flow, costs, revenue and profitability across the business.

  • Does SIX FinanceFlow use AI for invoice processing?

    Yes. SIX AIFlow can use AI-powered invoice capture and document recognition when this functionality is included in the customer’s configuration. It can extract supplier details, invoice numbers, dates, line items, amounts, taxes, and payment information from uploaded or scanned documents. The captured data is validated against suppliers, purchase orders, and goods receipts, then routed for review and approval before being transferred into FinanceFlow. This reduces manual entry, improves accuracy, and accelerates invoice processing while keeping financial teams in control.

  • How much does SIX FinanceFlow cost?

    Pricing depends on the SIX ERP solutions you choose, the number of users and the services needed for configuration and support. Request a demo and describe your finance process to get a tailored proposal.

  • How long does it take to implement SIX FinanceFlow?

  • How does SIX FinanceFlow help reduce overdue customer payments?

    It tracks issued invoices, outstanding balances, due dates, partial payments and overdue amounts in one view. Finance and sales teams share the same receivables picture, so follow-up can start as soon as an invoice is overdue. Customer credit information and payment history from CustomerFlow add context for decisions.

  • Can SIX FinanceFlow help improve cash flow?

    Yes. It shows expected customer payments, upcoming supplier obligations, approved budgets and actual spending together. Finance teams can follow up overdue receivables early and schedule payments against available funds. Management sees cash shortages and cost increases before they become liquidity problems.

  • How does SIX FinanceFlow prevent duplicate payments and missed due dates?

    Approved supplier obligations, due dates and expected payment amounts are shown in one place. Payments are linked to the document they settle, so an already settled obligation is visible as paid. Finance teams plan outgoing payments by priority and agreed terms, which reduces late and duplicate settlements.

  • How does SIX FinanceFlow match supplier invoices with purchase orders and goods receipts?

    Supplier invoices are connected with purchase orders, delivered goods or received services. Quantities, prices, taxes and payment terms are checked against those records before a financial obligation is created. Differences are visible before approval and payment, which helps prevent overpayment and paying for goods that were never received.

  • Can SIX FinanceFlow handle credit notes and partial payments?

    Yes. Payments can be matched with invoices, credit notes or obligations. Open balances, partial settlements and payment history are preserved, so finance teams can see what has been paid and what remains outstanding on every document.

  • How does SIX FinanceFlow handle VAT and tax codes?

    Tax codes are applied to customer invoices, supplier invoices and expenses based on the customer, supplier and transaction. Supplier invoices have taxes confirmed before a financial obligation is created, and every posting stays connected to its source document. Your accountant should review the final tax set-up for your company.

  • Can SIX FinanceFlow handle multiple currencies and the euro?

    Customer invoices apply the correct currency, tax treatment, payment terms and due dates for each customer. SIX can handle Euro and foreign-currency exchange-rates, rate source, and revaluation. Ask for a demo to see how currencies are handled in your invoicing and payment scenarios.

  • What is SAF-T and does SIX FinanceFlow support it?

    SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is a standardized electronic file of accounting data that tax authorities request in many European countries. SIX FinanceFlow supports SAF-T data preparation through structured accounting periods, tax codes, document numbering and audit trails. Final compliance depends on configuration and current local rules, and should be reviewed by a qualified accountant.

  • Does SIX FinanceFlow support e-invoicing?

    SIX FinanceFlow supports structured invoicing and document numbering as part of its compliance support. Final e-invoicing compliance depends on system configuration, current local requirements and your company’s procedures.  E-invoice formats and countries supported include Bulgaria, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Greece, while being prepared for a pan-european PEPPOL invoicing format. Request a demo to review the e-invoicing requirements for your market.

     

  • Which types of companies use SIX FinanceFlow?

    FinanceFlow is used by manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, service and field-service companies. These businesses need invoices, supplier obligations, inventory values, production costs, project budgets and service billing in one financial picture. The same financial flow works across these industries and is adapted to each company’s processes.

  • Is SIX FinanceFlow suitable for small and medium-sized businesses?

    Yes. SIX ERP is built for small and medium-sized companies as well as larger organizations. You can use FinanceFlow on its own or together with sales, purchasing, stock, manufacturing, project and service processes. A SIX specialist can advise how to configure it for your team size, approval structure and reporting needs.

  • Can SIX FinanceFlow replace Excel for financial management?

    Yes. FinanceFlow replaces the spreadsheets used for invoice lists, payment schedules, expense tracking, budgets and reports. Invoices, obligations, payments, approvals and supporting documents live in one controlled system with role-based access and an audit trail. This removes version conflicts, manual copying and unclear ownership of figures.

  • What is the difference between ERP financial management and standalone accounting software?

    Standalone accounting software records finances in isolation, so invoices, purchases, stock and payroll costs often have to be re-entered. SIX FinanceFlow is part of SIX ERP, so every financial entry stays connected to the order, delivery, purchase, expense or work order that created it. Finance teams can trace any figure back to its source without switching systems.

  • How does SIX FinanceFlow create customer invoices?

    Confirmed sales, deliveries, completed service work or project milestones can be turned into customer invoices. The invoice applies the correct customer data, currency, tax treatment, payment terms and due dates, and stays connected with the original business transaction.

  • How are supplier invoices and obligations recorded?

    Supplier invoices are captured and connected with purchase orders, delivered goods or received services. Quantities, prices, taxes and payment terms are confirmed before a financial obligation is created that must be approved and paid.

  • Can employees submit expenses with supporting documents?

    Yes. Employee and operational expenses are recorded with the correct category, amount, project, department and supporting document. Expenses are routed through approval before they become part of the company’s financial result.

  • How does SIX FinanceFlow control approvals and access to financial data?

    It applies structured approvals and role-based access to sensitive transactions. Preparation, review and authorization responsibilities can be separated, and the system keeps a clear record of who created, changed, approved or rejected each financial document.

  • How can I monitor receivables and overdue customer payments?

    SIX FinanceFlow tracks issued invoices, outstanding customer balances, due dates, partial payments and overdue amounts. Finance and sales teams see what customers owe and which receivables need follow-up.

  • How are supplier payments planned?

    Approved supplier obligations, due dates and expected payment amounts are shown in one place. You can plan outgoing payments according to priority, available funds and agreed supplier terms, which helps reduce late payments and duplicate settlement.

  • How are payments matched with invoices and other documents?

    Incoming and outgoing payments are connected with the correct invoices, credit notes or obligations. Open balances, partial settlements and payment history are preserved, so finance teams can see exactly what has been paid and what remains outstanding.

    It compares expected income, planned payments, approved budgets and actual spending. This helps identify cash shortages, unusual cost increases and budget deviations early enough for management to respond before they affect operations.

    Financial entries are organized through the appropriate accounts, periods, departments, cost centers and business references. Postings stay connected with their source documents, so financial results remain explainable and traceable.

  • What financial reports can SIX FinanceFlow produce?

    Connected transaction data is used to prepare financial statements, account balances, revenue and cost analysis, cash reports and management views. Figures can be traced back to their original records.

    Yes. It maintains the relationship between source transactions, approvals, documents, payments and accounting entries. The records show what happened, when it happened and who was responsible, which supports internal control and external review.

    Because financial transactions stay connected with sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, projects and services, information does not need to be re-entered between teams. This also helps reduce missed obligations and uncertainty about the company’s financial position.

    and describe your finance process. A SIX specialist can show how FinanceFlow fits it.

  • How does SIX FinanceFlow connect with other SIX ERP solutions?

    FinanceFlow receives financial information from CustomerFlow, PurchaseFlow, StockFlow, ManufacturingFlow, ProjectFlow, ServiceFlow, PeopleFlow and Expenses.
