Invoice Processing
Capture invoice data, validate it against approved purchasing records, route exceptions, and prepare an accounting-ready entry.
WORKFLOW BOUNDARY
Starts: when an invoice arrives through an approved intake channel.
Uses: invoice data, supplier records, purchase orders or contracts, coding rules, approval policy, and accounting context.
Agent work: extract required fields, validate support, propose coding, detect duplicates, and route approvals or exceptions.
Stops: when a validated entry is prepared for posting or an exception is assigned to the responsible approver.
Excludes: payment release and autonomous resolution of material mismatches.
Before: finance teams rekey invoice data, locate purchasing records, chase approvals, and resolve exceptions across queues.
After: invoice data and support are organized into a traceable entry or exception for review.
Finance owners set matching rules, coding, tolerances, approvers, and permissions. Changed bank details and material mismatches are held for review.
