# How can a receiving team use AI to check supplier deliveries against purchase orders, so shortages, wrong items and damage are caught at the dock?

Start from open purchase orders, supplier packing lists and delivery notes, item photos and your receiving checklist. AI can read the paperwork for each delivery, match it to the right purchase order, flag short, extra or substituted items, and help staff record damage with photos and notes. The receiving lead checks every flag, decides what to accept, and purchasing follows up with the supplier before invoices are approved.

## What this means in practice

- Use open purchase orders, packing lists, delivery notes and your receiving checklist as the source
- Match each delivery to the right purchase order
- Flag short, extra or substituted items and wrong quantities
- Record damage with photos and notes while the driver is still there
- The receiving lead decides what to accept and purchasing follows up before invoices are paid

## 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.
