Resolved against Epicor
Every employee, job, operation and assembly on the sheet confirmed against live data before anything is written.
- Employees, by number and printed name
- Jobs, with their part and status
- Operations and assemblies on that job
Every timesheet posted against the right job
Timesheets arrive handwritten, photographed, or as spreadsheets from the shop floor. Fluent reads them, resolves the employee, the job, the operation and the assembly against live Epicor data, and posts them into Epicor Kinetic Time Entry against the right job.
How it works
Post the timesheet against the right job
The employee, the job, the operation and the assembly resolved against live Epicor data, and a sheet sent twice never posts twice.
Checked against the day
Fluent reads the employee's existing entries for that payroll date and compares the job and the clock times.
- Existing entries for that payroll date
- Clock in and clock out against them
- Scrap and non-conformance reasons
Ready to review
A job number Fluent had to correct is written down for confirmation, and a closed job is named per line.
- Corrections named for confirmation
- Closed jobs refused per line
- Nothing posts until a person processes it
The difference
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.
Legacy OCRAgentic automation
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 Epicor 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
Low-risk orders post automatically; high-value or unusual ones wait for a person.
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.
Epicor validation
Transactions are validated by Epicor’s own business logic before they post.
Human review
Exceptions escalate to your team with the agent’s reasoning attached.
Permissions
Agents only touch the business objects and companies you allow.
