Every result keeps its source records, rule version, and decision history.

The problem

PO and non-PO invoices need different checks. Supplier identity, duplicates, tax, and remaining commitments are often checked by hand.

What your team gets

AP receives an ERP-ready file and a review queue showing the exact price, quantity, tax, or duplicate issue.

Your team retains approval authority and the ERP remains the accounting record.

A first project

Start with work you have already completed.

One entity and one invoice group, usually non-PO invoices already paid.

How we check the result

Recalculate the paid invoices and review differences with AP. The control has been tested on a client's own invoice formats.
