Bank of America Merrill Lynch has applied the ERP-based electronic payment system, called "Paymode-X", which integrates the online payee and payee accounts management system. Accounts payable systems are directly linked to the bank. Payment data is exchanged between companies and the bank in a single file, facilitating automatic reconciliation of aging accounts payable in ERP systems.
