PTAS FinSuite AP Automation
Invoice to payment without the manual middle: capture, policy checks, three-way match, approval routing and ERP posting.
What the agent handles
Where Payables Time Actually Goes
The typing is the small part. The hours go on checking an invoice, then chasing someone to approve it, then checking it again when a query comes back. That is the work the agents take.
Capture
One intake queue
Bills arrive by email, upload, supplier portal or API and land in a single queue, whatever shape they were sent in.
Capture
Vendor resolved first
The supplier is matched to your vendor master before anything else runs, so coding and payment details start from the right record.
Control
Duplicate detection
Re-sends, resubmissions and near-identical bills are caught before they reach an approver, not after payment.
Control
Policy enforcement
Payment terms, tax treatment and whether a PO was required are checked per invoice against the rules you set.
Routing
Threshold approval
Rules by amount, cost centre, category and legal entity decide who sees what, and in what order.
Routing
Delegation
Cover for absence and escalation after a set wait, without anyone sharing credentials.
Matching
Three-Way Match, Line by Line
Header totals agreeing tells you very little. The agent compares each line against the purchase order and the goods received note, and only stops where they genuinely disagree. Where you hold the vendor, contract and tax data, the same pass extends to six-way matching.
One line, three documents · Illustrative example
Four cases against forty units is the same quantity once the pack size is known. That conversion is where most manual matching stalls.
PO match
Each line compared against the purchase order, rather than header totals alone.
GRN match
Quantities checked against what was actually received.
Exceptions
Only genuine mismatches stop and wait for a person.

FAQ
Questions Teams Ask
Do we need purchase orders for this to work?
No. PO-backed invoices get two- and three-way match by default, extended to six-way matching where the vendor, contract and tax data exist; non-PO invoices run on coding rules, cost-centre routing and approval thresholds instead. Most finance teams run both paths side by side, and the policy check decides which one an invoice belongs to.
What happens to an invoice the agent is unsure about?
It stops. Any field below your confidence threshold, and any policy or match failure, routes the invoice to a review queue with the specific problem flagged rather than the whole document dumped on someone. Nothing posts to the ERP on a guess.
Does this replace our ERP?
No. FinSuite runs the work in front of the ERP and writes the finished entry into it. Your chart of accounts, cost centres and dimensions stay the system of record, and every posted entry carries a link back to the source document.
How long before it is processing real invoices?
A payables rollout typically takes four to twelve weeks for a single workflow. That is an indicative range and it varies with document variety, systems, approval design and deployment. Teams normally start on one entity or one vendor group, confirm the output against their own records, then widen.
