Illustrative example
An accounting office with 8 bookkeepersSupplier invoices read, checked and queued for approval
Invoices that arrive as PDFs are read automatically, checked against the client’s records and handed to a bookkeeper to confirm.
Invoice read automatically
Invoice 2024-0412.pdf
Fields are read from the document and compared with the supplier record before anything is posted.
- Uredski materijal d.o.o. Supplier
- 2024-0412 Invoice number
- In 15 days Due date
- Standard rate, matches the lines VAT
IBAN differs from the supplier record. A bookkeeper must check it.
The situation
Clients send supplier invoices by email, as PDFs, scans and sometimes photos.
Bookkeepers open each one and key the supplier, amounts, VAT and due date into the accounting software. The work is repetitive, it peaks at month end, and typing mistakes are found late. Documents from different clients arrive in the same inbox and have to be sorted by hand.
What we would build
- 01
A dedicated intake address per client, so each document is filed to the right client on arrival
- 02
Document reading that extracts supplier, invoice number, dates, lines, VAT and bank details from PDFs and scans
- 03
Checks against the supplier record: duplicates, a changed bank account, totals that do not add up
- 04
A review queue where the bookkeeper sees the document next to the extracted fields and confirms or corrects them
- 05
Posting to the accounting software only after confirmation, with the original document attached
What changes
- Bookkeepers check and confirm instead of typing
- Anything unusual is flagged before it is posted, not found at reconciliation
- Every booked invoice has its source document attached
- Month end is spread out, because documents are processed as they arrive
