FAQ

1. What is the goal of PO to ERP integration?

The primary goal is to eliminate manual data entry by automatically extracting data from incoming Purchase Orders (POs) and creating the corresponding official PO record inside the ERP system (e.g., Acumatica, Oracle Fusion). This streamlines the Procure-to-Pay cycle.

2. How does the system handle unstructured POs (PDFs, images)?

AI Document Understanding technology is used to read unstructured documents like PDFs, scanned images, and emails. The AI intelligently extracts key data fields—such as PO number, vendor details, line items, quantities, and prices—and converts them into structured data the ERP can accept.

3. Can I use Google Sheets to submit a Purchase Order to the ERP?

Yes. While many POs come from vendors, an internal process can use a Google Sheet template for requisition/order entry. The integration tool (e.g., eZintegrations) monitors the Sheet, validates the data, and automatically triggers the creation of a Purchase Order record in the ERP when a new row is added.

4. What happens if the extracted PO data is inaccurate?

The workflow includes validation checks. If the AI detects low confidence in a field or if the data (like a vendor ID or item SKU) doesn't match the ERP's master data, the transaction is flagged. It is routed to a human for review and correction before it is allowed to create the final record in the ERP.

5. Does this integration support custom PO approval workflows?

Yes. The integration is typically configured to respect the existing approval hierarchy in the ERP (Acumatica, Oracle). It can automatically route the newly created or draft PO for the correct internal approvals based on factors like the PO amount, department, or item class.

6. What is the main business benefit of PO Automation?

The main benefit is a significant reduction in processing time and manual errors. Automating PO creation speeds up the entire procurement process, improves data accuracy for inventory and financial reconciliation, and ensures a clean audit trail.
