Financial Request Automation for Finance Teams
Manual request processes create delays, errors and compliance challenges. Missing information, unclear ownership and endless email chains slow the close and consume valuable finance time. Aico replaces this with structured, ERP validated workflows that ensure accuracy from the start.
Requests are standardised through configurable templates, and validations ensure that details align with ERP data before submission. Automated routing brings the right approvers into the process, increasing accountability and reducing friction between teams.
Because financial requests often sit alongside other close activities, this workflow connects naturally to Aico’s closing task manager and journal entries, keeping period-end work in one place.
“Aico doesn’t overpromise or underdeliver.”
Configurable templates ensure every request includes the correct fields and passes mandatory validations against ERP data. For example, a request for a vendor master data change is checked against existing ERP records before it ever reaches an approver, so incomplete or duplicate submissions are caught immediately rather than being discovered during the close.
Route requests automatically based on type, value or policy. Reduce delays with clear ownership and structured decision making. A high-value invoicing request can be sent straight to a senior approver, while lower-value or routine requests go through a standard single-step review, so approval effort matches the risk of each request.
Automated checks eliminate incomplete or incorrect submissions, helping teams move through the close without bottlenecks. Because validation happens at submission rather than after the fact, finance teams spend less time chasing missing information during the days that matter most for closing the books on schedule.
Track the status of every request in real time and maintain a complete audit trail for compliance and internal reviews. Every status change and approval decision is logged automatically, giving finance and audit teams a ready-made record without anyone needing to compile it manually.
Use tailored templates for invoicing, master data changes or other requests. Required fields and validations ensure accuracy before submission.
Send requests through role based approval workflows. Built in checks and AI supported validation reduce errors and unnecessary communication.
Process approved requests quickly, monitor status in real time and maintain full transparency for compliance and audit needs.
Aico's financial request automation isn't a standalone approvals tool built onto your existing systems. It's part of the same connected Pacera suite used for planning with Mercur and group consolidation with AARO, so requests are validated against the same live ERP data your close and reporting already run on, and approvals sit in the same audit trail as the rest of the period.
Pacera is trusted by more than 700 organisations managing complex, multi-entity structures across a range of industries and geographies, many of whom use Aico's financial requests alongside account reconciliation and the closing task manager as part of the same close process.
Aico centralises requests such as invoicing needs and master data changes, using configurable templates so every request includes the correct fields and required validations.
Requests are validated against ERP data before submission and routed automatically to the right approvers, cutting down on the email chains and follow-up questions that typically slow requests down.
