Esker Accounts Payable AI features, pricing and GDPR (October 2026)

Esker Accounts Payable is part of a French finance automation suite for large companies that receives invoices from every channel, captures and validates data with AI, suggests coding, flags anomalies and routes invoices for approval and ERP posting.

Esker's AP module takes invoices by email, EDI, mail, fax and supplier portals, extracts and validates the data, runs three-way matching against purchase orders and goods receipts, routes approvals by rules, amounts or cost centers, and posts data to the ERP with an archived audit trail. The integration page names SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle, Sage, Infor and more than 100 ERP or back-end integrations. Esker acts as a Peppol access point, supports XRechnung and ZUGFeRD and covers e-invoicing rules in more than 60 countries. The wider suite adds accounts receivable, order management and procurement. Esker is based in Lyon, has more than 1,200 employees and 3,000 customers, and is owned by Bridgepoint and General Atlantic since its 2025 delisting.

• Captures and validates invoice dataEsker Synergy AI extracts data from invoices arriving through any channel and validates it before posting. According to the vendor, more than 80 percent of invoices can run from receipt to posting without manual work, which reduces keying for the AP team.
• Suggests coding and flags anomaliesThe system proposes account coding for incoming invoices and watches the workflow for anomalies in real time. Recommendations are shown with explanations and a person signs off at each approval step, so accountants keep control while spending less time on routine cases.
• Answers invoice questions as an agentThe Accounts Payable Agent lets AP staff and approvers ask questions in natural language and retrieve invoice information instantly. Approvers get the context they need without searching through the system, which helps invoices move through approval faster.

• Names more than 100 ERP or back-end integrations, including SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle, Sage and Infor, for groups running several ERP systems.
• Supports XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Peppol and e-invoicing requirements in more than 60 countries and 135 currencies.
• Runs AP alongside accounts receivable, order management and procurement on one platform, so finance teams can extend automation beyond payables.

Esker is headquartered in Lyon, France, where it was founded in 1985.

Esker does not publish prices, hosting regions, a DPA or a sub-processor list, so request them together with the security datasheet. Check which ERP connector fits your system and how approval workflows and audit trails meet your auditors' needs. For French entities, confirm coverage of the national e-invoicing mandate. For German entities, ask about a DATEV connection and GoBD documentation, since the website did not mention either when we checked in September 2026.
