AP automation for Odoo with vendor bills checked against what was received

Manufacturers and distributors on Odoo run sales, purchasing, inventory and accounting in one database, yet supplier invoices, customer purchase orders and remittances still arrive as PDFs and spreadsheets. Fluent reads each document and drafts the Vendor Bill, Sales Order, Receipt or Customer Payment against your live Odoo data. A person reviews every draft and confirms it.

Agents

Automate the whole cycle in Odoo

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

Vendor Bill

AP invoice automation

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

Receipt

Packing slip automation

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

Purchase Order

Purchase order automation

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

Quotation

Quote automation

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

Sales Order

Sales order automation

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

Delivery Order

Shipment automation

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

Customer Invoice

AR invoice automation

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

Customer Payment

Cash application

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

Work Order

Time entry automation

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

Manufacturing Order

Material issue automation

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

Validation

Check every document against Odoo before it posts

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

Resolved against Odoo

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 Odoo 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 Odoo 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.

Odoo validation

Transactions are validated by Odoo 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

Yes. The agent finds the purchase order the supplier invoice refers to and matches each bill line two-way against the ordered quantities, or three-way against what was validated on the receipts. Quantity and price differences are shown on the line they belong to. The draft Vendor Bill carries the vendor, products, units of measure and currency resolved from your Odoo data, and anything the agent could not resolve is named on it before a person confirms it.

The agent reads the customer's purchase order, resolves the customer, delivery address and products, including the customer's own product codes, and checks whether an order with the same customer reference already exists. It drafts the Quotation with every unresolved value named on it. Your sales team reviews it and confirms it into a Sales Order.

Our engineers connect Fluent to your Odoo 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 Odoo, 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.
