AP Invoice Processing

Automates the clerical front end of accounts payable while keeping the approve-and-pay decision with a person. It scans an AP inbox for vendor invoices, reads attachments and scans, and extracts invoice date, vendor, description, invoice number, amount, and due date, citing where each value came from. It dedupes against your AP log by invoice number so nothing is logged twice, appends one new row per invoice marked 'added by skill, needs review', forwards the email to your AP system (for example bill.com or Ramp — an example, not a requirement), applies a label, archives the email, and hands back a run summary of logged / skipped / uncertain. Vendors on your exclude list are skipped so card-paid charges handled by the sibling card-receipt-forwarding flow are not double-processed. The safety guardrail is the point: the skill never approves and never pays. It drafts and files; a human audits every new row before any money moves, and anything unreadable or conflicting is flagged 'uncertain, needs review' rather than guessed. Treat it like a sharp intern — about ninety percent right, fast on the boring parts, and always audited. Detection criteria, the exclude list, and the scheduled-run lookback window are operator settings you confirm in plan mode before the first run.

AP Invoice Processing automates the clerical front end of accounts payable and leaves the approve-and-pay decision with a person. It watches an AP inbox for vendor invoices, reads the attachments and scans, and pulls out invoice date, vendor, description, invoice number, amount, and due date — citing where each value came from.

Each invoice is deduped against your AP log, appended as one new row marked “added by skill, needs review,” forwarded to your AP system, labeled, and archived. Every run hands back a summary of what was logged, skipped, and flagged uncertain. Vendors on your exclude list are skipped so charges already handled by the sibling card-receipt-forwarding flow are not double-processed.

The guardrail is the point: it never approves and never pays. It drafts and files; a human audits every new row before any money moves, and anything unreadable or conflicting is flagged “uncertain, needs review” rather than guessed. Detection criteria, the exclude list, and the scheduled-run lookback window are operator settings you confirm before the first run.
