AP automation for Infor LN and every purchase order and warehouse receipt

Infor LN runs discrete manufacturers with project, engineer-to-order and multi-site operations, where every document touches orders, warehouses and finance at once. Supplier invoices, packing slips, requests for quote and customer purchase orders arrive by email. Fluent reads them and drafts them into Purchase Orders, Warehouse Receipts, Sales Quotations and Sales Orders in LN, with business partners and items resolved, for a person to review.

Agents

Automate the whole cycle in Infor LN

Ten agents, one for each document that arrives from a customer, a supplier or the shop floor. Each reads the document, checks it against Infor LN, and drafts the transaction for a person to review.

AP invoice automation

Supplier invoices matched two-way or three-way against the order and the receipt, with every difference shown on the line.

Warehouse Receipts

Packing slip automation

Packing slips received against the purchase order line by line, in the unit the supplier shipped.

Purchase Orders

Purchase order automation

Vendor quotes and requisitions become purchase orders, priced in the vendor's own currency.

Sales Quotations

Quote automation

Requests for quote drafted as sales quotes, with the customer's own part numbers resolved to yours.

Sales Orders

Sales order automation

Customer purchase orders drafted as sales orders, checked for duplicates before anything is written.

Shipments

Shipment automation

Shipping instructions become shipments, every line resolved to the order line it fills.

AR invoice automation

Customer invoices and credit memos posted, so billing stops waiting on a person.

Cash application

Customer payments and remittances applied to the open invoices they settle.

Time entry automation

Timesheets and shop paperwork posted against the right job and operation.

Material issue automation

Material issued to the job without looking up the material sequence by hand.

Validation

Check every document against Infor LN before it posts

Each agent resolves what the document says against live Infor LN data, compares it with what the order and the receipt already hold, and shows every difference on the draft.

Resolved against Infor LN

The vendor or customer, the parts and the order behind the document, confirmed against your own records before anything is written.

  • Vendors and customers, by name and tax ID
  • Parts, including the other party's own numbers
  • Open orders, releases and receipts

Quantities and prices compared

Each line is tied to the order or receipt it refers to, and what the document claims is checked against what Infor LN holds.

  • Quantity against what is left to bill or ship
  • Unit price against the order
  • Each quantity in the unit the document gives

Ready to review

The draft shows what matched, what did not, and every difference, so approving it is a decision rather than a re-entry.

  • Every difference shown on the line
  • Unmatched values named, never guessed
  • Nothing posts until a person approves it

Comparison

No templates, no field mapping, no model training

Legacy document capture is configured per layout: a template for each vendor, a coordinate for each field, a model retrained when the paperwork changes. Fluent is configured in written instructions, and rewriting them changes what it does.

Templates

A template for every vendor, layout and document type

Reads each document the way a person does, whatever the layout

Field mapping

Fields found by position, so a moved column breaks extraction

No coordinates. It consults live Infor LN data before it writes

Model training

Models retrained on samples whenever a design changes

Corrections become instructions, so it improves without retraining

Exceptions

Exceptions fall out to a queue for manual keying

Reasons through variations and exceptions instead of failing

Changing behavior

Behavior changes through a configuration project

Behavior is set in written instructions you control

Governance

Autonomy you can hand to an auditor

Every agent operates inside boundaries you define. Every action it takes is recorded, explainable, and reversible before it posts.

Approval thresholds

A document over an amount or outside a price tolerance goes to the approvers who own it.

Audit logs

Every field the agent read, every decision it made, on the record.

Data retention

Your documents and data stay under retention policies you control.

Infor LN validation

Transactions are validated by Infor LN before they post.

Human review

Exceptions escalate to your team with the agent's reasoning attached.

Permissions

Agents only touch the documents and companies you allow.

Frequently Asked Questions

The agent reads the supplier's invoice, resolves the business partner and the purchase order, and matches each line against the order and against the quantities booked on warehouse receipts. The purchase invoice is drafted with every price, quantity and unit difference shown on the line, so the matching result is visible before approval. Anything unresolved is named on the draft, and a person approves it.

Yes. The packing slip is read line by line and each line is tied to its purchase order line. The quantity is recorded in the unit the supplier shipped, and the receipt is drafted in Warehouse Receipts with any line it could not match named on the draft. A person confirms the receipt, and the purchase invoice that follows is matched against what was received.

Our engineers connect Fluent to your Infor LN company during onboarding and run each agent against test documents before it writes to production. The agents read your own vendors, customers, parts and open orders from Infor LN, and only touch the companies and documents you allow.

Not unless you choose that. By default every agent drafts the transaction and waits for review. An approval workflow routes each document to the people who sign off on it, with thresholds such as an amount or a price variance deciding who reviews what, and every decision the agent made is recorded on the document.

PDFs, scans, photographs, spreadsheets, email bodies, XML and EDI, forwarded by your team or emailed straight to the agent. There are no templates to build per vendor or customer: each document is read the way a person reads it, whatever the layout.
