How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerInvoice received via webhookHTTP webhook
  • ActionFetch matching PO + goods receipt from AirtableAirtableAirtable
  • LogicCompare qty, price, totals against tolerance
  • LogicClassify exception type (price / qty / missing receipt)
  • OutputWrite exception row to Airtable review queueAirtableAirtable

What it does

Runs the classic accounts-payable three-way match: invoice vs. purchase order vs. goods receipt. When the three agree within tolerance, the invoice is flagged auto-approve. When they don't, it lands in a structured Airtable queue with the exact fields that broke so a finance reviewer can act in seconds instead of hunting across systems.

When to use it

Use this when your AP team manually cross-checks invoices against POs and receiving records before payment, and exceptions get lost in email. It gives you a single triage board instead of a shared inbox.

How it works

  1. 1A new invoice arrives via webhook (from your OCR or e-invoice intake).
  2. 2The flow pulls the referenced PO and the goods-receipt line items from Airtable.
  3. 3It compares quantity, unit price, and line totals against tolerance thresholds.
  4. 4A logic branch separates clean matches from exceptions and tags the mismatch type (price, quantity, or missing receipt).
  5. 5Matches are stamped approved; exceptions are written as a new row in the Airtable Exception Queue with the variance detail and a suggested owner.
