Business challenge
Supplier invoices arrive as PDFs in many layouts. Accounts payable re-keys each one into SAP, matches it to a purchase order by hand, and chases the exceptions by email.
Solution
Invoices are ingested from a mailbox or folder. An AI extraction service reads header and line data, and a validation layer checks it against the purchase order, goods receipts and vendor master in SAP. Clean invoices continue to posting; uncertain fields go to a reviewer in a side-by-side screen. Every correction is stored per vendor, so the next invoice from that vendor is read better.
