The problem

What this workflow costs today.

01Manual three-way match

AP teams key and match invoices to POs and goods receipts line by line.

02Duplicates slip through

Re-sent PDFs, changed invoice numbers and vendor typos lead to double payments.

03Exceptions without context

Blocked invoices bounce between AP, procurement and receiving with no clear reason.

04Close pressure every month

Accruals and vendor queries pile up in the last days of the period.

Three controls in one flow

From inbox to posting, with nothing unchecked.

Every invoice passes the same three gates before it reaches SAP FI.

Pilot capabilityCapture & Validate

Reads invoices in Arabic and English from email and portals, extracts header and lines, and checks tax and totals.

How it works

The AiX™ loop, applied end to end.

Every agent follows the same five steps, so behaviour is predictable and every step leaves evidence.

1
Observe

Invoices, purchase orders, goods receipts, vendor master, tax rules and payment history.

2
Reason

Matches invoice lines to PO and GRN, checks tax and totals, and compares against past invoices for duplicates.

3
Decide

Approves within tolerance, blocks on mismatch or duplicate risk, and decides who owns each exception.

4
Act

Posts approved invoices to SAP FI, parks exceptions with reasons, and answers vendor status queries.

5
Learn

Learns vendor formats and recurring exception causes, and proposes tolerance changes for approval.

The agent team

Specialist agents, separated by duty.

No single agent both proposes and approves. Each one has a narrow job, its own tools and its own permissions.

Capture Agent

Reads invoices in Arabic and English from email and portals and extracts header and line data.

Matching Agent

Performs the three-way match against SAP MM purchase orders and goods receipts within tolerance.

Duplicate & Fraud Agent

Detects duplicates, near-duplicates and unusual bank or vendor changes before posting.

Exception Agent

Routes each exception to the right owner with the reason, the evidence and a suggested fix.

Authentic AI at the centre

Autonomy you can govern, trace and control.

Speed comes from autonomy. Trust comes from the three things around it. This is how each is designed into AP Invoice Verification.

Autonomy

Clean invoices flow from inbox to posting without a human touch; anything outside tolerance stops.

Governance

Match tolerances, approval limits and segregation of duties mirror the existing SAP controls.

Traceability

Each posting carries the match result, the tolerance applied and the documents compared.

Control

Finance owns every tolerance; changes proposed by the agent need approval before they apply.

AiX™Authentic AIExplainable, traceable, reconcilable
Autonomy bands

What the agent does alone, and what it never does.

Bands are agreed with the business before go-live and widened only on evidence from the pilot.

Guardrails

  • Vendor bank changes never processed by the agent
  • Segregation of duties enforced as in SAP
  • Tolerance changes need finance approval
  • Every posting reversible with full audit trail
Outcomes & measurement

Every metric has a baseline and a method.

Success metrics are agreed before build and signed off with the client after the pilot.

How we deliver

The A.G.E.N.T. Method.

Agentic process reengineering, one workflow at a time.

AAudit

Map how the workflow really runs today, with owners, data lineage and the tacit rules.

GGauge

Agree the business outcome, the baseline and the success metrics before build.

EEngineer

Redesign for agent-first execution: agents, tools, rules and autonomy bands.

NNavigate

Pilot inside your controls, train owners and move bands only on evidence.

TTrack

Measure against the baseline and report the result the business signed off.

Start with one workflow, one agent and one measurable result.

Book a working session with our team in Dubai, Riyadh or the UK. We will map the workflow, agree the metric and show the agent running on data like yours.
