# Capability: Supplier Invoice Data Capture

## Summary

Before a supplier payment is instructed, finance needs cleaner invoice data: supplier, amount, currency, references, due timing, and line-item context where available. Structured capture reduces manual mismatch risk.



Built for businesses with £1M+ equivalent annual FX exposure and recurring international supplier, customer, or treasury payment flows.

## Capability flow

- **Document received:** Invoice or supporting document is linked to the expected payment event.

- **Fields captured:** Supplier, amount, currency, references, and due context are structured where available.

- **Mismatch reviewed:** Finance reviews differences between invoice, beneficiary, and expected payment.

- **Payment prepared:** Pay-out is prepared with references, purpose, and supporting context.

- **Record kept:** Invoice data and payment evidence stay connected for reconciliation.

## Workflow

- **Invoice linked:** The commercial document is tied to the supplier payment workflow.

- **Details structured:** Key payment fields are captured for finance review.

- **Exceptions flagged:** Mismatches between invoice, beneficiary, and expected amount are reviewed.

- **Payment prepared:** Instruction is prepared with references, purpose, and documents where required.

- **Record reconciled:** Invoice and payment outcome are kept together for finance follow-up.
