Your team should not be posting invoices by hand.
From the invoice landing in your inbox to the scheduled payment: Abstra receives, reads with AI, validates, runs the 3-way match and posts to your ERP. End to end, with approval and audit.
The accounts payable pipeline
Invoice and bill via email, portal or upload
AI/OCR turns PDF, XML or image into data
Tax ID, taxes, required fields and dedup
3-way match invoice ↔ PO ↔ bill
Vendor bill in the ERP with idempotency
Authority level + scheduled payment file
Exceptions do not block: an ambiguous field becomes a human form and returns to the flow. Underneath it all: dedup, authority levels and an audit trail.
If your accounts payable looks like this, we fix it.
“Someone spends hours posting invoice after invoice into the ERP.”
“Data arrives messy: email, portal, PDF, XML, spreadsheet. All of it has to be typed in.”
“Duplicate payments and duplicate POs slip through.”
“When volume grows, the only way out seems to be hiring more people.”
Proof in AP

95% of invoice intake automated
Automated invoice intake and gained time for strategic work.
5-6 hours → 5 minutes in AP
AP cash-flow provisioning. AP and accounting analysts run their own automation, without depending on a developer.
Where to automate first
From the invoice email to payment, in parts.
Capture, matching, approvals, payment runs, vendors and reimbursements. Start with the process that hurts most today.
Invoice capture and extraction
Email, portal and upload become structured data with OCR and document classification.
See processValidation and matching
Tax ID, taxes, dedup and 3-way match invoice ↔ PO ↔ bill, with prioritized exceptions.
See processApproval workflows
Authority levels by amount, vendor and cost center, with an audit trail.
See processPayment scheduling and execution
Payment file, bank integration and confirmation after approval.
See processVendor management
Onboarding, compliance and a clean vendor record before payment goes out.
See processReimbursements and expenses
From employee expense report to reimbursement, under the same AP governance.

Real accounts payable patterns
Large industrial company
Classifies invoice types and tax slips, posts to the ERP with an approval dashboard and also fetches utility bills on its own.
Back office / bills
A pipeline for invoices and bills by email and portals, dedups against the ERP, asks for missing fields in a form and flags exceptions in chat.
PO-driven purchasing
Finds POs in the ERP by approval stage and validates attached documents against the order before releasing payment.
Mid-size distributor
Monitors bill inboxes, extracts barcode, payee, amount and due date, and detects duplicates with a daily report.
Integrations that matter in AP
ERPs
NetSuite · Omie · Protheus/TOTVS · Conta Azul · SAP · MXM · Sankhya
Capture
Email · portals · municipalities · utilities · invoice platforms
Payment
CNAB 240/400 · Itaú · other banks
No API
RPA / browser agent when the portal has no integration
A generic AI reads the invoice. Accounts payable needs to write to the ERP idempotently, validate by rule, approve by authority level and leave an audit trail, not "here is the code".
Why not generic AI?Frequently asked questions
Do you replace my accounts payable ERP?+
No. Abstra does not replace NetSuite, SAP, Totvs or Omie. It acts as the pipeline that captures, validates, matches and posts into the ERP you already use.
Is it just an AI PDF reader?+
No. Reading the document is one step. Accounts payable needs rule validation, 3-way match, idempotent ERP posting, authority-level approval and a payment file.
What if the extraction is ambiguous?+
The exception becomes a form for a human to complete. Then the document returns to the flow, without blocking the whole queue.
Where should we start?+
With the highest-volume, clearest-rule routine: invoice email capture, validation/match or payment scheduling. Use the processes below to go straight to the detail.
