title: "How to automate invoice processing with AI"
description: "AI reads each incoming invoice, captures the supplier, amounts, dates and line items, and matches it to the purchase order and delivery record where one exists. It suggests the account code and cost center from your past coding and routes the invoice to the right approver. Mismatches, new suppliers and changed bank details always go to a person, and no invoice is paid without the usual approval."

# How can a finance team use AI to code and route supplier invoices without losing control of payments?
AI reads each incoming invoice, captures the supplier, amounts, dates and line items, and matches it to the purchase order and delivery record where one exists. It suggests the account code and cost center from your past coding and routes the invoice to the right approver. Mismatches, new suppliers and changed bank details always go to a person, and no invoice is paid without the usual approval.
## What this means in practice
- Capture supplier, amounts, dates and line items from every invoice.
- Match invoices to purchase orders and delivery records.
- Suggest coding from past decisions and route to the right approver.
- Send mismatches, new suppliers and bank detail changes to a person.
- Keep the normal approval step before any payment.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
## See it as a workflow
- [Supplier invoice coding and approval](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/invoice-coding-and-approval/): Read incoming supplier invoices, match them to purchase orders and past coding, and route each one to the right approver with the draft entry ready.
