Invoice Control
The problem
Supplier invoices approved against an ERP that checks totals, not lines. The same product named one way by the vendor, another on the PO and another on the invoice.
How it runs today
- 1Every invoice PDF read line by line by a deterministic reader.
- 2Purchase orders and goods receipts pulled from the ERP.
- 3Names linked by product code, then invoice × PO × receipt checked on every line.
- 4Only the differences go to purchasing, each with its evidence.
