How the Invoice Agent works

The Invoice Agent combines template-free AI-based document recognition (IDP) with deeply integrated business and accounting logic, ensuring invoices are not only correctly extracted but processed ready for workflow and posting.

Most tools automate the standard case.

Finance teams are left dealing with everything that deviates from it. That is exactly where the Invoice Agent comes in.

The ideal incoming invoice

Clean, structured, clearly matched.

  • Invoice arrives as a structured PDF with a consistent layout
  • Clear PO number, 1:1 match to the purchase order
  • Quantities and prices match the purchase order exactly
  • One tax rate, one currency, clean payment terms
  • Direct handover to the ERP, no manual rework
What actually arrives

Mixed formats, deviations, exceptions.

  • Every supplier sends differently: PDF, scanned, by email, in changing layouts
  • Partial invoices, credit notes and consolidated invoices spanning several POs
  • Quantity and price deviations within and outside tolerance
  • Non-PO invoices that need to run through a structured approval workflow
  • Different tax rates, currencies, surcharges and discounts on a single invoice

Benefits of digital invoice processing

Extracted and validated invoice data is prepared ERP-ready and seamlessly transferred into existing enterprise systems. Business context, validation logic and process rules ensure direct, posting-ready booking.

01

Integrated IDP Core

Intelligent Document Processing for automatic invoice recognition, separation and classification.

02

Template-Free Invoice Extraction

Automatically processes invoices from new suppliers and changing layouts -- without manual configuration per supplier.

03

Intelligent Invoice Matching

With automatic handling of partial deliveries, quantity and price discrepancies.

04

Integrated Accounting Logic

Cost centers, GL accounts, tax logic and tolerance checks directly in the process -- posting-ready data instead of just raw data.

05

Human in the Loop for Invoice Approval

Intelligent exception handling -- humans intervene only for discrepancies, multi-level approval workflows by role and amount.

06

End-to-End-Reporting

Full transparency on straight-through processing rates, open approvals, processing times and bottlenecks -- ideal for finance and management.

Meaningful impact across every finance role

The same agent, three different perspectives. Less routine for the team, more control for finance, more reliable numbers for the business.

01

For accounts payable

No more line-by-line checking. The agent extracts, classifies and matches against purchase order and delivery note. Staff only review what genuinely needs a decision.

02

For finance & controlling

Transparency over straight-through rate, open approvals and cycle times. Cost centres and accounts are assigned inside the process — month-end becomes predictable.

03

For the business

Invoice volume can grow without headcount scaling with it. Processes stay consistent across sites and subsidiaries — with a traceable audit trail.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Invoice Agent and automated invoice processing.

The Invoice Agent uses Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) to automatically recognize, classify and extract all relevant data from incoming invoices -- regardless of layout, language or supplier. New suppliers or changed invoice formats require no manual configuration. The AI continuously learns and improves recognition quality with every processed document.
The Invoice Agent automatically matches incoming invoices with the associated purchase orders and delivery notes. Line items, quantities, prices and terms are verified. Complex scenarios such as partial deliveries, quantity discrepancies or price differences within defined tolerances are handled automatically. A clarification case is only created for genuine discrepancies.
Unlike pure extraction solutions, the Invoice Agent delivers not just raw data but posting-ready results. Cost centers, GL accounts, tax logic and tolerance checks are applied directly in the processing workflow. This means: the data arriving in the ERP is already coded and can be posted without further manual rework.
Rechnungen ohne Bestellbezug werden vom Rechnungsagenten erkannt und separat behandelt. Die KI extrahiert alle relevanten Daten und leitet die Rechnung in einen definierten Freigabe-Workflow – mit mehrstufiger Genehmigung nach Rolle, Kostenstelle und Betrag. So bleiben auch Non-PO-Rechnungen im automatisierten Prozess, ohne dass sie manuell aussortiert werden müssen.
Ja. Der Rechnungsagent ist auf reale Komplexität ausgelegt: Sammelrechnungen mit mehreren Bestellbezügen, Teilrechnungen, Gutschriften, Rechnungen mit unterschiedlichen Steuersätzen und Währungen sowie Rechnungen mit Zu- und Abschlägen werden automatisch erkannt und korrekt verarbeitet. Die Validierungsregeln lassen sich individuell an Ihre Geschäftslogik anpassen.
Im Regelbetrieb erreicht der Rechnungsagent eine Dunkelverarbeitungsrate von über 70 % – das bedeutet, mehr als 7 von 10 Rechnungen durchlaufen den gesamten Prozess vollautomatisch, von der Erfassung bis zur buchungsfertigen Übergabe ins ERP. Die manuellen Eingriffe reduzieren sich um bis zu 80 %. Durch kontinuierliches Lernen aus Korrekturen steigt die Rate mit der Zeit weiter an.
