Document processing · read, check and post

Stop retyping documents: read them, check them and post them, with a person on every exception.

Intelligent document processing reads invoices, purchase orders, delivery notes, receipts and contracts, extracts the fields and the line items without rigid templates, checks them against your records and posts them to your ERP. Anything doubtful goes to a review queue with the original beside the data, so that people spend their time on exceptions and not on typing.

Capabilities

What Intelligent Document Processing covers

  • Reading without templates

    Extract header fields and line items from documents that vary in layout, language and quality.

  • Validation and matching

    Check totals, tax numbers and dates, and match to purchase orders and goods receipts.

  • Posting to your systems

    Create the invoice, order or record in your ERP through its standard interfaces.

  • A human review queue

    Low-confidence or mismatched documents are queued with the original beside the data, for a quick decision.

  • Duplicate and anomaly flags

    Spot repeat invoices, unusual amounts and changed bank details before anything is paid.

  • An audit trail

    Every document, extraction and decision recorded, with who approved what and when.

Is it the right one?

Where it fits, and where it does not

We would rather you choose the right thing than the one we happen to be discussing.

A strong fit when

  • You process a steady volume of similar documents and a person types most of them in.
  • The documents arrive by email, scan or portal, in many layouts.
  • Your ERP can receive the result through a standard interface.
  • Month-end suffers from invoices stuck in inboxes and approval queues.

Look at something else when

  • Volumes are very small: the effort of setting it up may not repay itself.
  • The documents are handwritten or poor scans throughout: expect many exceptions, and plan for them.
  • You have no clear rules for approving a document: agree the rules first, and we can help.

How we deliver

How Abrimatt delivers Document Processing

Every engagement runs in phases, so the business sees progress and risks surface early. The timescale for each phase is set after an assessment, not before.

  1. Sample

    Collect real documents, good and bad, to see what the extraction has to cope with.

  2. Define

    Agree the fields, the checks and the approvals, and what counts as an exception.

  3. Build

    Build the extraction and validation, and the connectors to your ERP.

  4. Run in shadow

    Process documents beside the people who do it today, and compare every result.

  5. Go live

    Switch on posting with the review queue in place and the people who will use it trained.

  6. Tune

    Learn from the exceptions, adjust the rules and extend to the next document type.

Questions we are asked

Document Processing: questions and answers

How accurate is it?

We do not quote a general figure, because it depends on your documents. We measure accuracy on your own samples before go-live, set the confidence level at which a document goes to a person, and keep measuring afterwards.

Does it work with SAP?

Yes. It can create supplier invoices and other documents in SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One and other ERP systems through their standard interfaces, and it can run on SAP BTP where that suits you.

What about documents in other languages?

Many languages can be read. We test the languages and layouts you actually receive, and we say plainly which ones need more care.
