Invoice Agent

Invoices come in all formats: as PDFs via email, as electronic invoices, or as scanned documents. The Invoice Agent processes them all, automatically extracts relevant fields using OCR and AI, and immediately begins matching them to the corresponding purchase order.

What the Agent does:
  • ✓ Automatic import from email inbox, document upload, and electronic formats
  • ✓ OCR extraction: supplier, amount, line items, taxes, due date
  • ✓ Automatic 3-way matching: purchase order → delivery → invoice
Invoice received — Matching occurs automatically; no action required

Compliance Agent

Not every invoice matches the purchase order. Price discrepancies, missing line items, incorrect quantities: the Compliance Agent handles this verification process entirely, automatically detects discrepancies, and triggers the configured escalation process as needed.

What the Agent Does:
  • ✓ Checks for price discrepancies, missing line items, and quantity differences
  • ✓ Automatic escalation to the responsible buyer if thresholds are exceeded
  • ✓ Complete documentation of each check for the audit trail
Every invoice is systematically reviewed — no more erroneous payments

Accounting Agent

After verification comes account assignment. Which cost center? Which general ledger account? Which posting period? The Accounting Agent automatically answers these questions based on order data, historical postings, and defined account assignment rules.

What the agent does:
  • ✓ Automatic assignment of cost center and general ledger account for each invoice line item
  • ✓ Preparation of the ERP transfer in the appropriate format (SAP, DATEV, etc.)
  • ✓ Quality check before export; incorrect postings are flagged before transfer
Automatic Account Assignment — Seamless ERP Transfer Without Subsequent Corrections
