WHAT LUMINORIX DOES

Step by step.

  1. Reads the AP mailboxOpens each vendor email and its PDF attachments, and skips mail it already handled.
  2. Extracts the invoiceReads vendor, invoice number, dates, lines, quantities and totals, and finds the vendor record in your accounting system.
  3. Matches PO and receiptCompares each line with the purchase order and what was received. Clean matches become draft bills.
  4. Stops what looks wrongSame reference and amount as a posted bill, a quantity that does not match the receipt, or a missing PO: the bill is held with the reason.
  5. Asks for the decisionYou approve, hold or reject from an approval card. Nothing posts without it, and each action can be reverted.

WHERE YOU STAY IN CONTROL

Clear boundaries.

Approval before posting

Draft bills wait for a person’s approval. Held bills carry the reason the agent stopped them.

Agreed write access

The agent creates bills only in the company and journal agreed for it.

A record of every action

Each bill shows the source email, the match result and who approved it.
