FAQ
Which ERP systems does this automation support?
The automation integrates with SAP Business One, Oracle NetSuite, Odoo, and Xero. Other ERP systems can be connected via API or middleware such as Make or Zapier.
How does the three-way matching work?
When a delivery note is received and a supplier invoice arrives, the agent compares quantities and amounts against the original PO. Discrepancies above a configurable threshold are flagged for manual review before payment proceeds.
Can the system handle multi-currency POs for international suppliers?
Yes. POs can be generated in AED, USD, EUR, or other currencies. Exchange rates can be pulled from a live feed or set manually per transaction.
What happens if a supplier rejects or partially fulfills a PO?
The agent flags partial deliveries and supplier rejections, notifies the procurement team via Slack or email, and can initiate a revised PO or escalation workflow based on your configured rules.
