# What is the digital inbox?

The digital inbox loads supplier documents automatically, so you avoid manual entry.

The digital inbox is where supplier documents land automatically. Instead of typing a supplier invoice in manually, the document can be read in so the details are ready to become a purchase invoice.

## Why it is useful

-   Less manual entry and fewer typing errors.
    
-   The document travels along as documentation.
    
-   A faster path from received invoice to posted purchase invoice.
    

## Incoming EAN invoices

If you trade with customers or the public sector that require electronic invoices (EAN/e-invoice), the incoming EAN invoices are handled in a similar way.
