1Reason
A missing PO number, filled in
An invoice arrives with no PO number. The clerk asks the person who buys from that vendor which PO it belongs to, then matches every line to the PO and receipt.
Clerked vs Tungsten
Tungsten reads paper, PDF and e-invoices, matches each line to the PO and goods receipt, and posts the clean ones to your ERP.
Clerked’s AI clerks work the exceptions themselves, asking whoever owns each one and updating the invoice.

Clerked’s agents act on it.
2Reason
Vendor emails from live ERP data
A partial shipment arrives, and the invoice bills the full order. The clerk drafts the vendor email quoting the PO line and what receiving recorded, and someone on your team sends it.
3Reason
Each exception to its owner
Freight nobody approved goes to the buyer who placed the PO, and an unposted receipt to receiving. They answer from email, Slack, Teams or their phone, without logging in.
4Reason
What it knows, in plain English
Before go-live, the clerks read your invoice history and keep memories like: this vendor’s freight codes to inbound shipping. Your team can read, edit or delete any of them.
