Digital coworker · Manufacturing & distribution
Accounts payable match clerk
Takes invoices from the AP inbox to a match-ready state. It reads each invoice, matches it to the PO and receipt, routes variances to the right approver, and posts nothing without permission.
Where the time goes today.
AP staff key invoices by hand and chase mismatches across email, ERP, and the warehouse.
Exceptions pile up until month end, when everyone is busiest.
