How does supplier invoice processing automation work?
Eltyo connects your invoice intake, supplier records and accounting software. The workflow captures invoices, extracts the fields your team needs and matches documents to available purchase orders. The agreed rules determine which records go to review and which data can be prepared for accounts payable.
Each record retains the original document, extracted fields and flagged discrepancies. Your team reviews exceptions and approves the export.
Which fields and checks should you start with?
Start with the references you need to identify and match an invoice. Common fields include the supplier, invoice number, date, currency, totals and purchase order reference. Checks can flag missing fields, inconsistent amounts or a possible duplicate with the same supplier and invoice number.
A quantity mismatch, unreadable document or change in bank details triggers review by the person authorised to handle it. The review record shows the discrepancy and the document needed to verify it.
Which systems can the workflow connect?
- Purchasing inbox or shared folder. Capture PDFs and related documents from an agreed set of sources.
- Purchasing system or ERP. Look up suppliers, orders and goods receipts where those records are available.
- Accounting software. Prepare a structured export or transfer an approved record through authorised access.
The choice between APIs and imports depends on your tools. We test a small batch with the formats and exceptions your team sees most often.
How do you measure a pilot?
Record how long entry and review take per invoice before and during the trial. Track the share of corrected fields, the invoices sent to review and the time taken to resolve them. The results give you a basis for extending the workflow to more suppliers.
