AP automation for SAP Business One and every document after the Goods Receipt PO

Growing manufacturers and distributors run SAP Business One with a small finance team keying supplier invoices, customer orders and payment advices by hand. Fluent reads each document and drafts it as an A/P Invoice, Sales Order, Goods Receipt PO or Incoming Payments entry, linked to the right base document. A person reviews and adds it.

Agents

Automate the whole cycle in SAP Business One

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

A/P Invoice

AP invoice automation

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

Goods Receipt PO

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.

Sales 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

Shipment automation

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

A/R Invoice

AR invoice automation

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

Incoming Payments

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.

Issue for Production

Material issue automation

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

Validation

Check every document against SAP Business One before it posts

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

Resolved against SAP Business One

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 SAP Business One 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 SAP Business One 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.

SAP Business One validation

Transactions are validated by SAP Business One 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 drafts the A/P Invoice from the base document the supplier invoice actually settles: the Goods Receipt PO where goods were received, the Purchase Order where they were not. It matches each invoice line two-way or three-way against those base documents and shows any quantity or price difference on the line. Items, units of measure and currency are resolved against your live SAP Business One data, and the draft waits for a person to review and add it.

Yes. The agent reads the remittance, whether a PDF, a spreadsheet or the email body, resolves the business partner and finds the open A/R Invoices the payment settles. It drafts the Incoming Payments entry with each invoice selected and the amount applied. Any invoice number it could not find, or an amount that does not agree with the open balance, is named on the draft so your AR team settles it before adding the payment.

Our engineers connect Fluent to your SAP Business One 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 SAP Business One, 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.
