§ 01 · Agent Capabilities

Everything the agent does to transform AP

Deterministic rules handle the routine. The agent resolves the rest.

01

Intelligent Document Capture

The agent captures and extracts data from any invoice format. PDF, email, or scan. No templates. No manual data entry.

02

Deterministic Matching Engine

Every invoice runs through your business rules: duplicate detection, 3-way matching against POs and goods receipts, price and quantity validation. What matches, flows straight through.

03

Agent-Powered Exception Resolution

When a rule flags an exception, the agent takes over. It searches item bridges, checks supplier history, analyses price variances, and recommends a resolution with a confidence score and full context for your review.

04

Service Invoice Processing

Non-PO and service invoices don't have a purchase order to match against, so the agent predicts the correct GL account coding based on supplier, description, and historical posting patterns, reducing manual coding effort and improving allocation accuracy.

05

Integrated Communication

Query a supplier about a credit note, chase a missing goods receipt, or loop in a budget holder, all from within the invoice thread. Every message, response, and notification is linked to the transaction, so your team and auditors see the full conversation trail in one place.

06

Real-Time Operations Dashboard

Track what the agent is processing, resolving, and learning. See match rates, exception trends, resolution accuracy, and confidence calibration in real time.

07

Multi-Entity & Multi-Currency

Manage AP across multiple entities, currencies, and tax jurisdictions. The agent understands cross-border VAT rules and entity-specific policies.

08

Deep ERP Integration

Opnua integrates with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics, Exchequer, Sage, and many more. The agent reads your ERP data to resolve exceptions, and never writes back without your approval.

§ 02 · Matching Engine

Automated 3-Way Matching

Opnua's deterministic matching engine cross-references purchase orders, invoices, and goods receipts in real time. When everything aligns, invoices flow straight to approval. When exceptions are found, the agent takes over.

§ 05 · AP Questions

How the agent handles your AP

Matching, exceptions, non-PO invoices and the approval boundary.

01

How does three-way matching work in Opnua?

Every invoice runs through a deterministic engine that applies your business rules: duplicate detection, matching against purchase orders and goods receipts, and price and quantity validation. Whatever matches flows straight through.

02

What happens when an invoice does not match?

It is flagged with a specific issue code — price variance, item mismatch, missing PO — and passed to the agent. The agent searches item bridges, checks supplier history and past resolutions, analyses the variance, applies your policies, and returns a recommended resolution with a confidence score and the evidence it relied on. You review and approve.

03

Do we need to configure a template for each supplier layout?

No. Invoices arrive by email, scan or upload, and the agent extracts supplier, line items, amounts and tax from any format. No templates, and no manual data entry.

04

Can it handle invoices with no purchase order?

Yes. Non-PO and service invoices have no purchase order to match against, so the agent predicts the correct GL account coding from the supplier, the line description and your historical posting patterns.

05

How many invoices are processed without a human touching them?

Opnua matches 95% of invoices without human intervention, and reduces manual exception handling by 70%. Finance teams report month-end close running 65% faster.

06

How are supplier queries and approvals handled?

Inside the invoice thread. Querying a credit note, chasing a missing goods receipt or looping in a budget holder all happen against the transaction, so every message and response stays linked to the invoice for your team and your auditors.

07

Does it work across multiple entities and currencies?

Yes. AP can be run across multiple entities, currencies and tax jurisdictions, with the agent applying cross-border VAT rules and entity-specific policies.
