Purchase order and invoice matching

AI purchase order and invoice matching for AP teams

Supplier invoices are matched to purchase orders and goods received, line by line, so only mismatches need a person before payment.

01 today

The problem

Accounts staff tick invoices against purchase orders and delivery notes by hand. Short deliveries, price changes and duplicate invoices slip through. Approvers sign off without the detail, and suppliers get paid for goods that never arrived.

What the AI does

  1. Step 1: Reads supplier invoices from the accounts inbox or Dext, including multi-page PDFs.
  2. Step 2: Finds the matching purchase order and goods receipt in Cin7, Unleashed, NetSuite or SAP Business One.
  3. Step 3: Compares quantities, unit prices, freight and tax line by line within your tolerances.
  4. Step 4: Posts clean matches to Xero or QuickBooks ready for the next payment run.
  5. Step 5: Sends mismatches to the buyer with the exact difference and a draft query to the supplier.

Where a person approves

The buyer resolves every mismatch before the invoice is posted. The finance lead approves the payment run as usual.

What changes

Clean invoices flow straight through and the accounts team works only on real differences. Overpayments and duplicates get caught before the money leaves.
