Direct answer
Invoice processing can be automated by combining OCR, AI extraction, validation rules, approval workflows, and bookkeeping integrations. Human review should remain for exceptions, new suppliers, and high-value invoices.
What to do next
- 1Collect invoices from email.
- 2Extract supplier, amount, date, VAT and PO.
- 3Validate against rules.
- 4Send exceptions for approval.
What to look at first
The workflow should separate extraction from approval. AI reads the invoice, but business rules decide what needs review.
- Collect invoices from email.
- Extract supplier, amount, date, VAT and PO.
- Validate against rules.
- Send exceptions for approval.
What the result should be
The result is faster processing, fewer manual entries, and better control over exceptions.
