1Reason
A missing PO number, matched
An invoice arrives with no PO number and more than one open PO could fit. The clerk asks the person who raised them which one, then matches each line and moves the invoice on.
Clerked vs Stampli
Stampli is a well-built AP product with deep ERP coverage, from reading and matching to approvals and posting.
Clerked’s AI clerks do that too, then act on what doesn’t fit: they chase the answer, draft the vendor email and update the invoice.

When an invoice doesn’t add up,
the clerks act on it.
2Reason
Vendor emails from your ERP data
A vendor bills for 100 cases and your receipt shows 80. The clerk drafts an email with the PO line and quantity received, asking for a corrected invoice or credit, for your team to send.
3Reason
Each exception to its owner
Freight the PO doesn’t include goes to the buyer who placed the order. They answer by replying to the email, or from Slack or Teams, with no login, and the clerk updates the invoice.
4Reason
Memories your team can edit
Before go-live, the clerks read your invoice history and keep memories in plain English, such as: this vendor’s freight codes to the plant that received the goods. Your team can edit or delete every one.
