The Challenge

AP team was keying ~8,000 vendor invoices/month by hand into SAP, with frequent mismatches against POs and slow vendor payments.

Our Solution

Email-ingest pipeline → Azure Document Intelligence for OCR → LLM-based line-item normalization → 3-way match against POs and receipts → straight-through post to SAP, with exceptions routed to a review queue.

  • OCR with Azure Document Intelligence
  • LLM line-item normalization
  • 3-way PO/receipt matching

Results
