Automate Invoice Processing

Process invoices in minutes — not days.

Minutes to posted

Faster cycle time

An invoice moves from receipt to approval to posting without waiting for someone to open an attachment.

Matched before approval

Fewer disputes

Invoices are checked against the purchase order and receipt before anyone is asked to approve them.

Every invoice evidenced

Audit readiness

The document, the match result, the approver, and the posting are held together as one record.

One governed workflow across systems that never talked.

Who it's for
Accounts payable teams processing supplier invoices that arrive by email in formats no two suppliers agree on.
What it does
A governed workflow that captures invoices, matches them against purchase orders, routes approvals, and posts to the ERP.
Systems involved
Your ERP, document sources, and supplier channels — connected through the REST Client, with dedicated activities built on request.
How it stays governed
Matching tolerances and approval thresholds in decision tables, scoped approval rights, and a record per invoice.

What this looks like today

The friction that makes this workflow expensive to run by hand.

01

Entry

Every invoice is typed in by hand

Invoices arrive as attachments in inconsistent layouts, and each one is read and re-keyed into the ERP by a person.

Manual entryTranscription errors
02

Approval

Approvals live in email threads

An invoice waits on a reply nobody has sent, and there is no way to see where it is without asking.

Stalled approvalsNo visibility
03

Matching

Discrepancies found after approval

Quantity and price mismatches against the purchase order surface late, when the supplier conversation is hardest to have.

Overpayment riskDisputes

The workflow

How Koodisi runs it

Koodisi automates the invoice processing lifecycle — from receipt to approval to ERP posting — eliminating manual data entry and reducing invoice cycle time from days to hours.

01

Capture invoices wherever they arrive

Email, supplier portals, and file drops feed one process, so suppliers do not have to change how they send.

Scheduled and webhook triggers; file retrieval over SFTP or the REST Client.

02

Extract and normalise the values

Supplier, invoice number, dates, line items, and totals are read and standardised, so the ERP receives consistent data regardless of layout.

Format conversion and field mapping before validation.

03

Match against the order and receipt

Line items, quantities, and prices are compared against the purchase order and goods receipt, so problems surface before approval rather than after.

Matching tolerances defined in decision tables.

04

Route by threshold

Clean matches within tolerance can post directly; anything outside it routes to the right approver with the discrepancy shown.

Approval thresholds live where finance can change them.

05

Post and confirm

Approved invoices are written to the ERP and confirmed, so an unposted invoice is never mistaken for a completed one.

Retry policies for transient failures; confirmed results logged.

06

Keep the evidence together

The source document, extracted values, match result, approval, and posting reference are retained as one record.

Execution logging with before and after state.

Connectivity

The systems in this workflow

Koodisi orchestrates the platforms this workflow touches — through the REST Client today, and through a dedicated activity whenever you need one.

The capability underneath

Every workflow above is assembled from the same governed building blocks — which is why connecting one more system is a day of work, not a project.

Connect to anything

  • REST and webhook connectivity with managed authentication (4 activities)
  • Secure file transfer over SFTP (5 activities)
  • Direct database reads and writes (4 activities)

Move and reshape data

  • Translate between CSV, JSON, XML, and fixed-width formats (6 activities)
  • Field-level mapping between systems that model data differently
  • High-volume batch processing with per-record tracking (7 activities)

Decide and protect

  • Decision tables for approval and routing rules your team can read
  • Encryption, hashing, and signature verification on sensitive fields
  • Retry policies, error handling, and full execution logging

Business systems connect through Koodisi’s REST Client, and our team builds dedicated activities for the ones you depend on — typically within a day of you asking.

Governance

Automated, but still under control

Every run is authorised, recorded, and observable — the part that decides whether automation survives an audit.

Tolerances and thresholds in a table

Matching tolerances and approval limits live where finance can review and change them without engineering.

Approval authority scoped

Permission scopes ensure approvers act within their limits and cannot alter the thresholds themselves.

One record per invoice

Document, extraction, match result, approver, and posting reference are held together for audit.

Bank details masked

Supplier bank and payment details are masked in logs so processing records are not a payment-fraud target.

Credentials in Key Vault

ERP and document source credentials are stored in Key Vault and referenced at run time.

Visible where it waits

Traces show which approval an invoice is sitting on, so chasing is targeted.
