Invoices arrived as PDFs or scans and had to be read, coded, checked, and sent for approval by hand. This created slow processing, repetitive finance admin, higher error risk, and less time for more valuable operational work.

An AI invoice-processing workflow uses OCR, document understanding, data extraction, validation rules, and approval automation. The system reads invoice documents, extracts supplier details, amounts, dates, tax data, and line items, matches them against business rules, flags exceptions for finance review, and routes clean invoices through the approval workflow automatically.
