Short answer

How can I use AI to audit my supplier invoices?

Your agent pulls line items and VAT details from Pennylane to spot missing files or tax errors. You'll get a clear list of discrepancies to review. Here is how it works.

Audit outcomes.

Where your findings land.

The AI categorizes every issue it finds during the scan.

MISSING

Missing documentation

The agent flags invoices that lack the necessary attachments. You'll know exactly which files to request from your vendors.

TAX

VAT discrepancies

It identifies mismatches between line item tax and the total VAT amount. This catches math errors before you finalize your books.

DATA

Line item errors

The AI spots inconsistencies in quantities or descriptions. You get a list of entries that don't match your expected totals.

HUMAN

Manual review

When the AI finds an ambiguous tax code or a high-value error, it flags it for you. You make the final call on whether to approve the invoice.

The workflow

What your AI does when an invoice arrives.

The agent handles the data extraction so you don't have to manually check every line.

  1. Fetch records

    The agent pulls your current list of supplier invoices to begin the audit.

  2. Verify vendors

  3. Scan line items
