1Reason
Freight nobody approved, answered
An invoice adds freight the PO never mentioned. The clerk asks the person who placed the order, and on a yes, codes the freight and sends the invoice for approval.
Clerked vs BILL
BILL pays vendors by ACH, card, check or wire, and it reads, matches and routes bills before syncing them to your ledger.
When a bill doesn’t line up, Clerked’s AI clerks find out why, get the answer and update the invoice before BILL pays it.

the clerks resolve it.
2Reason
An invoice with no PO number
The clerk finds the vendor’s likely PO in your ERP and drafts an email asking the vendor to confirm it. Once someone sends it and the vendor replies, the clerk matches the invoice.
3Reason
Each exception to its owner
A partial shipment goes to whoever receives the goods, and a price above the PO to the buyer who agreed it. They answer by email, Slack or Teams, with no login.
4Reason
Memories in plain English
Before go-live, the clerks read your invoice history and keep memories like “freight from this vendor codes to the plant that received it.” Your team can read, edit or delete every one.
