Frequently asked questions
Is ZoneCapture a general ledger?
No. It is AP invoice capture that runs inside NetSuite, which keeps your books.
Does Light handle invoice approvals and purchase orders?
Yes. Approvals, purchase orders and PO matching run in the same ledger as the payment.
When does ZoneCapture fit?
When you are staying on NetSuite and want invoice capture that works inside it.
Do we have to replace our company cards?
No. Keep the cards you already use, whether Amex, your bank's cards or a spend management provider's. Add them to Light as an external card account and bring the transactions in by CSV upload or a continuous push through the Light API. From there the transactions are handled like Light card spend: cardholders are asked for receipts, AI matches and codes each transaction, and it posts to the ledger. Your cards and your plan stay with your card provider. If you later move to Light cards, the card transaction and the ledger entry become one record.
