Smart Invoice Verification System

Finance / Accounts Payable Automation

Problem Description

Manual invoice verification is time-consuming, error-prone, and vulnerable to fraud. Finance teams often deal with hundreds of invoices daily that must be matched with purchase orders (PO), delivery receipts, and contract terms. Mistakes in this process can delay payments, hurt vendor relationships, or lead to financial losses. By automating this task with Multi-Agent AI on the Syncloop platform, organizations can reduce verification time from hours to minutes, ensure compliance, and focus their finance teams on value-added activities.

How It Works

The system parses incoming invoices (PDF or digital), extracts key fields using OCR and NLP, verifies each invoice against the corresponding PO, goods receipt (GRN), and contract database. Discrepancies are flagged, logged, and optionally routed to a human agent for review. Fully matched invoices are approved and forwarded for payment processing.

Agents Required

InvoiceReader Agent
Role: Extracts data from uploaded invoices using OCR
Capabilities: Parses invoice files (PDF, image), detects key fields like invoice number, date, vendor ID, total amount, line items
POFetcher Agent
Role: Retrieves purchase order details from the ERP
Capabilities: Matches invoice fields with PO records, checks amounts, item descriptions, and vendor IDs
GRNMatcher Agent
Role: Matches invoice items against goods receipt records
Capabilities: Validates that invoiced items have been received and logged in inventory
FraudCheck Agent
Role: Performs anomaly detection on the invoice data
Capabilities: Flags duplicate invoices, unexpected amounts, or mismatches with historical payment patterns
ApprovalRouter Agent
Role: Routes verified invoices to finance or escalates discrepancies
Capabilities: Sends verified invoices to /payment/initiate API or escalates to /review/manual for human validation

Syncloop API Usage

Endpoint Method Input Parameters Output Format
/invoice/upload POST file: PDF/Image {invoice_id, status}
/invoice/extract POST invoice_id {fields: {date, vendor, amount, items[]}}
/erp/po/get GET po_number {po_data}
/erp/grn/match POST invoice_items[] {match_status, unmatched_items[]}
/fraud/check POST {invoice_id, vendor_id, amount} {risk_score, flags[]}
/invoice/approve POST invoice_id {status: "approved"}
/invoice/escalate POST invoice_id, reason {status: "under_review"}

Flow Summary

  1. User Uploads Invoice to /invoice/upload
  2. InvoiceReader Agent calls /invoice/extract to parse invoice and extract fields.
  3. POFetcher Agent uses extracted po_number to GET matching PO from /erp/po/get.
  4. GRNMatcher Agent compares invoice line items to GRNs via /erp/grn/match.
  5. FraudCheck Agent calls /fraud/check with vendor and amount data.
  6. If all checks pass: ApprovalRouter Agent posts to /invoice/approve.
  7. If mismatches or risk flags are found: ApprovalRouter Agent posts to /invoice/escalate for manual intervention.
  8. System logs all actions to audit trail API (optional integration).

Optional Enhancements

  • Language Translator Agent for multilingual invoice support
  • Notification Agent for Slack/Email alerts on escalations
  • Dashboard Agent for visualization & analytics (using /data/insights)
  • Integration Agent for syncing with 3rd-party tools like SAP, ZohoBooks, or QuickBooks
