This AI agent analyzes exception work notes to predict the most likely business owner for an invoice. It works with the Accounts Payable (AP) specialist by suggesting the predicted owner or creating follow-up tasks to validate and resolve ownership.

Workflow

The agent helps users complete tasks related to recommend invoice owner.

  1. Execute the "Retrieve recommendation from Exception Record" tool.
  2. If there are no invoices present, ask the AP specialist if they want to reach out to a supplier contact with an exception task.
  3. If the recommendation mentions processed invoices present but the match score is below the threshold, inform the AP specialist that a recommendation can't be made. Suggest the business owner from the last processed invoice.
  4. If the recommendation mentions that the business owner was identified but auto-approval is disabled, ask the AP specialist whether that business owner can be assigned to the invoice.
