1Reason
The clerk resolves it itself
A supplier adds freight the PO never mentioned. The clerk asks the buyer, who confirms it, then codes the freight, clears the exception and sends the invoice to approval.
Clerked vs Basware
Basware is built for global companies on several ERPs, matching invoices in every format line by line to POs and goods receipts.
Clerked does that too, and its AI clerks resolve the exceptions themselves, getting the answer and updating the invoice.

an invoice hits an exception.
2Reason
Vendor emails from live ERP data
An invoice arrives with no PO number. The clerk drafts an email asking the vendor which order it belongs to, listing the likely matches from your ERP, for you to send.
3Reason
Each question to its owner
Part of a shipment arrives and the invoice bills the whole order, so the clerk asks whoever received the goods. They reply from email, Slack, Teams or their phone, with no login.
4Reason
Memories seeded from your history
Before go-live, the clerks read your past invoices and keep what they learn in plain English, like which vendor bills by the case. Your team can read, edit or delete every memory.
