Automatic Invoice Processing with Artificial Intelligence.
Sourced processes supplier invoices with intelligent OCR, automatically validates tax compliance, and matches with purchase orders. Eliminate manual entry and detect discrepancies before paying.
The problem
Processing supplier invoices is one of the most repetitive and error-prone tasks in the procurement area. Your team receives invoices by email in different formats (PDF, image, XML), enters them manually into the system, verifies each one against the tax authority, and cross-references the data against purchase orders in spreadsheets. Errors cause rework, incorrect payments, and compliance issues.
The solution
Sourced automates the entire invoice processing cycle. The AI extracts data from each invoice with OCR, automatically validates against the relevant tax authority to check fiscal validity, and performs intelligent matching against purchase orders to detect discrepancies in quantities, prices, or terms before approving payment.
AI-powered OCR that extracts data from invoices in any format: PDF, image, or XML
Automatic tax authority validation to verify the fiscal validity of each document
Intelligent matching with purchase orders that detects discrepancies instantly
Invoice processing features.
Bulk invoice upload
Upload multiple invoices at once by dragging files or forwarding emails. Sourced accepts PDFs, images, XML files, and electronic invoices.
Intelligent OCR with AI
The AI automatically extracts all key data: issuer tax ID, invoice number, date, amounts, tax calculations, withholdings, and line item details.
Automatic tax validation
Each invoice is automatically verified against the relevant tax authority. We validate document authenticity, tax ID, document type, issue date, and amounts.
Purchase order matching
Sourced automatically cross-references each invoice against the corresponding purchase order. It compares items, quantities, unit prices, and totals to detect differences.
Discrepancy alerts
If there are differences between the invoice and the PO — different prices, mismatched quantities, unrequested items — Sourced automatically alerts before payment is approved.
Invoice dashboard
View the status of all invoices: pending review, verified, with discrepancies, approved, and paid. Full control of the accounts payable flow.
Frequently asked questions about invoice processing.
What invoice formats does Sourced accept?
Sourced processes invoices in PDF, images (JPG, PNG), XML files, and electronic invoices. You can also forward emails with attached invoices directly to a dedicated inbox for automatic processing.
How does the tax validation work?
Sourced connects to the relevant tax authority's validation service to verify that each invoice is valid. We validate document authenticity codes, the issuer's tax ID, the document type and number, the issue date, and the amounts. If there are inconsistencies, we alert you immediately.
What happens if the invoice doesn't match the purchase order?
When Sourced detects discrepancies between an invoice and the PO — price differences, quantity mismatches, or different items — it flags the invoice for manual review and notifies the responsible person. You can configure tolerances (for example, accept differences under 2%) to automate approval of minor cases.
Does Sourced replace my accounts payable system?
No. Sourced handles invoice upload, validation, and matching. Once approved, the invoice syncs with your ERP or accounts payable system to manage payment. We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Odoo, and other ERPs.
How accurate is the OCR?
Sourced's OCR has over 95% accuracy in extracting invoice data. For cases where the AI isn't fully certain, the system flags fields for human review. Over time, the AI learns from corrections and improves its accuracy.
