About this template
What This Workflow Does
Customers pay and then email a remittance advice, usually as a PDF or a spreadsheet, often covering a dozen invoices at once. Someone in finance opens each attachment, reads which invoice each line refers to, finds it in the ERP, and applies the payment. It is the least skilled and most error-prone work in accounts receivable, and it is what stands between cash arriving and cash being visible. This template reads the attachment and does the matching.
Key benefits
Remittances read for you — Payment attachments are decoded and their details extracted by OpenAI.
Invoices matched automatically — The extracted reference finds the SAP Business One invoice it belongs to.
Batches handled line by line — An attachment holding many records is split and processed one by one.
Drafts converted to payments — The payment draft becomes an incoming payment in SAP Business One.
Inside the flow
How the template works
appse ai retrieves the latest remittance emails from Microsoft Outlook, downloads the attachments and decodes them. OpenAI reads the content and returns the payment details as structured records, which are converted to JSON and split so each invoice line is handled on its own. Lines that pass the filter are matched to a SAP Business One invoice, the related payment draft is located, and the draft is converted into an incoming payment.
01
Start the payment run
appse ai begins the payment processing cycle when it is started, so finance controls when cash application runs rather than having it fire on every inbound email. A run can be timed to follow the bank statement rather than precede it.
02
Retrieve the latest remittance emails
appse ai retrieves the relevant recent emails from Microsoft Outlook so payment and remittance information received by email enters the process. Nobody forwards anything into a queue.
03
Download the attachments
appse ai downloads the attachments from the selected emails so the payment information they carry can be processed. The document is fetched rather than opened by a person.
04
Decode the attachment content
appse ai decodes the attachment from Base64 into a usable format, preparing its contents for analysis. This is the step that turns a mail attachment into something the extraction can actually read.
05
Extract the payment information
appse ai passes the content to OpenAI, which reads it and converts the relevant payment information into structured data. Remittances arrive in each customer's own layout, so reading the document beats mapping a fixed template.
06
Convert to structured records
appse ai converts the OpenAI response into JSON, giving every extracted invoice and payment entry a consistent shape. Consistency here is what lets one process handle remittances from every customer.
07
Split the records
appse ai separates the extracted records so each invoice or payment entry is handled individually. A remittance covering twelve invoices becomes twelve items rather than one approximate total.
08
Filter to the valid records
appse ai applies a filter so only records meeting your payment processing criteria continue to SAP Business One. Lines that do not qualify stop here rather than reaching the ledger.
09
Find the matching invoice
appse ai searches SAP Business One for the corresponding invoice using the extracted customer or invoice reference. This is the step that connects the money to the transaction it settles.
10
Locate the payment draft
appse ai searches SAP Business One for the related draft payment record before the final operation runs. The draft is confirmed to exist rather than assumed.
11
Create the incoming payment
With the invoice and the draft both in hand, appse ai converts the payment draft into an incoming payment in SAP Business One, completing the transaction in the ERP. Cash is applied without a person opening the attachment.
Business Benefits
Turn emailed remittance advice into applied SAP Business One incoming payments, one invoice line at a time.
01
Remove manual cash application
Payment information emailed as an attachment becomes a SAP Business One transaction without anyone downloading, reading and keying it.
02
Cut payment entry errors
Structured extraction removes the wrong invoice references and missed lines that manual re-keying of a remittance produces.
03
Match invoices faster
The extracted reference finds the SAP Business One invoice directly, so finance is not searching the ledger for each line by hand.
04
Handle multi-invoice remittances
An attachment covering many invoices is split and processed line by line, so a large batch is treated as consistently as a single payment.
05
Keep control over what posts
Filtering and the invoice and draft lookups mean only records that resolve against real SAP Business One documents reach the payment step.
06
Free finance for exceptions
Attachment handling, extraction, matching and payment creation all run without a person, leaving the team the cases that genuinely need judgement.
07
Shorten the time cash becomes visible
Payments are applied in the same run that reads the remittance, rather than waiting for someone to work through the inbox.
