AP automation for Oracle, run by AI.
AP automation for Oracle means supplier invoices are captured from email, PDF or portal, matched 3-way against the purchase order and goods receipt in Oracle, and posted as payables invoices automatically via Oracle Fusion REST APIs. Exceptions reach your team with the reason explained; everything else flows.

The problem
Oracle Fusion Payables validates invoices against POs and receipts once they are in the system, and Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR) helps get them there, when layouts cooperate. In practice AP teams running Oracle still triage a daily queue of holds: price variances, quantity mismatches, invoices that arrived before the receipt was posted. Each hold means opening the invoice, pulling up the PO, checking the receipt, and emailing a buyer or a supplier. Oracle tells you an invoice is on hold; it does not do the work of getting it off hold. That work (the chasing, the explaining, the resubmission requests) is the actual cost of AP.
The solution
Sourced automates the whole loop on top of Oracle. Invoices arrive by email, PDF upload or the supplier portal and are extracted at line level without templates. Each line is matched against the purchase order and the goods receipt read from Oracle via Oracle Fusion REST APIs: price, quantity, taxes, freight. Clean invoices post automatically as payables invoices. Mismatches don't just get flagged: Sourced explains the cause (price variance vs. the PO, quantity over-billed vs. the receipt, probable duplicate, missing receipt) and routes each one to the right person, or back to the supplier for a corrected invoice, automatically. Because Sourced also runs the upstream cycle (RFQ, PO, delivery tracking), the matching data is native, not reconstructed.

Everything syncs two-way with Oracle: POs and receipts read, payables invoices written back
How AP automation works with Oracle, end to end.
Invoice captured, any format
Suppliers send invoices to your AP inbox, upload them in the Sourced portal, or attach them to the PO thread. AI extracts header and line-level data from PDFs, images and spreadsheets. No templates to maintain, and layouts can change freely.
Matched against Oracle data
Sourced reads the purchase order and goods receipt from Oracle via Oracle Fusion REST APIs and compares every invoice line: unit price, quantity, taxes, freight, payment terms. Tolerances are yours to configure.
Exceptions explained, not just flagged
A mismatch arrives with its diagnosis: supplier billed the pre-negotiation price, quantity exceeds what the warehouse received, invoice is a probable duplicate of one posted last week. Each exception routes to the buyer, the warehouse or the supplier, with the supplier follow-up handled by the AI.
Posted to Oracle automatically
Matched invoices are created in Oracle as payables invoices via Oracle Fusion REST APIs, linked to their PO, and enter your existing approval and payment workflows. Nothing changes for treasury.
Supplier scorecards updated
Billing accuracy feeds each supplier's scorecard alongside on-time delivery and quote competitiveness, so chronic over-billers lose ground in the next RFQ automatically.

Oracle AP automation: frequently asked questions.
Does Oracle have AP automation built in?
Oracle Fusion validates invoices against POs and receipts and places holds on variance, and IDR handles document recognition with varying success by layout. The gap is hold resolution: Oracle identifies the problem but people resolve it. Sourced automates the resolution loop (explained exceptions, supplier follow-up for corrected invoices, receipt chasing) and posts validated payables invoices back through Fusion REST APIs. It also covers JD Edwards via Orchestrator.
How does Sourced match invoices in Oracle?
Three-way, at line level: each invoice line is compared against the purchase order and the goods receipt read from Oracle via Oracle Fusion REST APIs: unit price, quantity, taxes and freight, within tolerances you define. Clean invoices post automatically; mismatches arrive with the cause identified.
What happens when an invoice doesn't match?
It is not just blocked: Sourced diagnoses why (price variance, over-billed quantity, missing receipt, probable duplicate) and routes it: to the buyer if the PO needs review, to the warehouse if the receipt is missing, or back to the supplier with an automatic request for a corrected invoice.
Do we need to migrate anything out of Oracle?
No. Oracle remains the system of record; Sourced is an execution layer that reads POs and receipts and writes back payables invoices via Oracle Fusion REST APIs. Typical deployment is 2-3 weeks, and your approval and payment workflows in Oracle stay exactly as they are.
How do suppliers submit invoices?
Three ways, all captured automatically: email to your AP inbox, upload in the free Sourced supplier portal (where they also see payment status, which cuts 'where is my payment?' emails), or attached to the purchase order thread they already use for confirmations.
