1Reason
An unusual bill, checked and answered
A bill comes in far larger than that vendor usually sends, with a line nobody ordered. The clerk asks the person who raised the PO whether to accept it, then updates the invoice.
Clerked vs AvidXchange
AvidXchange reads paper and emailed invoices, matches them to the PO and receipt, runs your approval workflows and pays suppliers over its own network.
Clerked’s AI clerks resolve each exception themselves, getting the answer from whoever owns it and updating the invoice.

What the clerks do when
an invoice needs an answer.
2Reason
The vendor email, drafted for you
An invoice arrives with no PO number. The clerk drafts the email asking the vendor for it, written from the order and receipt in your ERP, and your team reviews and sends it.
3Reason
Memories in plain English
Before go-live, the clerks read your invoice history and keep memories in plain English, such as which site a vendor’s freight is coded to. Your team can read, edit or delete every one.
4Reason
Your own agents, on a schedule
Describe a check your team does by hand, like approvals waiting more than a week, and say when it should run. The agent works through it in the background and reports what it found.
