Sanal Çekirdek

Exceptions draw the limit of automation.

Invoice automation works for everyone on clean documents. What separates implementations is how documents with missing references and inconsistencies are handled. Sanal Çekirdek designs the process around the exception.

Reading a document is only the first link. Value appears when the extracted data passes approval and becomes an accounting entry.

Capture and validation

An electronic invoice arrives structured; paper and PDF are documents that must be read. Extracted fields are matched against purchase order and delivery data; a field that does not match is never guessed — it becomes an exception.

  • Electronic and manual documents join one queue
  • Three-way matching rules are written down
  • Low-confidence fields go to exception rather than guesswork
  • Duplicate invoice checking sits at the head of the chain

Approval flow and authority

The approval chain follows amount, cost center and contract status. Delegation and absence are built into the flow; a document awaiting approval must never disappear into someone's inbox.

  • Delegation is defined inside the flow
  • Waiting documents trigger reminders and escalation
  • Approval authority is bounded by amount and cost center
  • Approval records are usable during audit

Exception management

An exception is a natural part of the process, not a failure of it. What matters is whose queue it lands in, how long it waits, and whether its cause is classified. An unclassified exception cannot be improved.

  • Exception causes are classified and counted
  • The three most frequent causes are worked each period
  • Supplier-caused exceptions become feedback
  • Waiting time is tracked per exception type

Accounting and ERP integration

The chain completes when the accounting entry exists. Integration is not a one-way transfer: a status change in the ERP returns to the process side so both systems show the same truth.

  • Entry creation and status feedback run both ways
  • Account coding is proposed through a rule set
  • A failed transfer never disappears silently
  • A shared identifier travels for reconciliation

How we work

  1. Measure document types and volume
  2. Write the matching and approval rules
  3. Define exception classes and their owners
  4. Build two-way ERP integration
  5. Reduce exception causes period by period

How success is measured

  • More documents complete without hitting an exception
  • Approval waiting time falls
  • The most frequent exception causes shift between periods
  • No discrepancy remains between entry and document

Frequently asked questions

What automation rate can we expect?

It follows document quality and supplier diversity; quoting a number in advance would be misleading. A measurable estimate is produced from a sample of your own documents.

Do our suppliers have to change?

No, but once supplier-caused exceptions are measured it becomes visible which supplier and which field to fix. That is an improvement opportunity, not a precondition.

Will it work with our current ERP?

Any ERP with an interface can be integrated. What matters is not the brand but the scope of the interface for creating entries and returning status.
