AP automation for Sage 300 with every P/O Receipt Entry matched to its invoice

Companies on Sage 300 often buy and sell across several currencies and companies, and their documents arrive by email in every layout. Fluent reads supplier invoices, packing slips, customer orders and remittances and drafts them into A/P Invoice Entry, P/O Receipt Entry, O/E Order Entry or A/R Receipt Entry, resolved against your Sage 300 data, for a person to review.

Agents

Automate the whole cycle in Sage 300

Ten agents, one for each document that arrives from a customer, a supplier or the shop floor. Each reads the document, checks it against Sage 300, and drafts the transaction for a person to review.

A/P Invoice Entry

AP invoice automation

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

P/O Receipt Entry

Packing slip automation

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

P/O Purchase Order Entry

Purchase order automation

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

Quote automation

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

O/E Order Entry

Sales order automation

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

O/E Shipment Entry

Shipment automation

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

O/E Invoice Entry

AR invoice automation

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

A/R Receipt Entry

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 Sage 300 before it posts

Each agent resolves what the document says against live Sage 300 data, compares it with what the order and the receipt already hold, and shows every difference on the draft.

Resolved against Sage 300

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 Sage 300 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 Sage 300 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.

Sage 300 validation

Transactions are validated by Sage 300 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 finds the purchase order and the receipts recorded in P/O Receipt Entry, drafts the invoice in A/P Invoice Entry and compares each line two-way or three-way. A short shipment, an extra charge or a changed unit cost is shown on the line where it occurs, so your AP team sees the difference before approving. Amounts stay in the vendor's currency, and anything it could not resolve is named on the draft.

Yes. The agent reads the remittance advice, identifies the customer and the open documents the payment settles, and drafts the receipt in A/R Receipt Entry with each amount applied to its invoice. A reference it cannot find, or a total that does not agree with the applied amounts, is called out on the draft. A person reviews the application and posts the batch.

Our engineers connect Fluent to your Sage 300 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 Sage 300, 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.
