About this template
What This Workflow Does
A/R teams read PDF remittance advice and key each payment into SAP Business One by hand, which delays cash application and invites duplicate postings. This template reads new remittance emails in Outlook, uses OpenAI to extract payer, amount, bank reference and invoice numbers, matches them to open SAP Business One invoices and routes each result as an exact match, already paid, short pay, duplicate or overpayment.
Key benefits
- Remittances read for you — OpenAI extracts payer, amount, bank reference and invoice numbers from the attachment.
- Checked before posting — Open invoices and existing incoming payments in SAP Business One are checked first.
- Five clear outcomes — Each remittance is routed as exact match, already paid, short pay, duplicate or overpayment.
- Tolerance for short pays — Minor short pays post with a debit memo; major ones go to the A/R manager.
Inside the flow
How the template works
A new Outlook email starts the flow; OpenAI extracts the remittance data and appse ai matches it to open SAP Business One invoices by amount, date and reference. Exact matches and overpayments post as incoming payments, minor short pays post with a debit memo, and major short pays, duplicates and already paid invoices raise Microsoft Teams alerts.
Extract payment data with OpenAI
OpenAI pulls the payer name, payment amount, bank reference and invoice numbers, even from partial references.
Check SAP Business One
appse ai fetches the customer's open A/R invoices and existing incoming payments so no payment is applied twice.
Match and classify
A matching step compares amounts, dates and references and labels the result: exact match, already paid, short pay, duplicate or overpayment.
Post clear matches
Exact matches and overpayments post as incoming payments in SAP Business One, and overpayments also alert the A/R team.
Handle short pays
Short pays within tolerance post with a debit memo journal entry; larger gaps stop and alert the A/R manager in Microsoft Teams.
Business Benefits
Apply customer payments in SAP Business One as soon as the remittance arrives.
01
Lower DSO
Invoices close when the remittance is processed, not days later when someone has time to key it.
02
Less manual entry
The A/R team stops reading remittance PDFs and typing payments into SAP Business One.
03
Exceptions handled by rule
Minor short pays are cleared with a debit memo, and major ones go to a person.
04
No double postings
Duplicate and already paid checks run before any payment is posted.
