# What will AGI do for Manual Invoice Processing Backlog?

## Overview

Accounts payable teams face a continuous accumulation of unprocessed vendor invoices that require manual data extraction and verification. Staff read varied document layouts to type line-item details, totals, and tax codes into the enterprise resource planning system. This manual bottleneck delays vendor payments, obscures real-time cash flow visibility, and triggers late fees.

The backlog persists because vendors issue invoices in countless unpredictable formats, from structured digital files to scanned documents and unstructured email text. Traditional optical character recognition software relies on rigid templates to extract data. When a vendor alters their invoice layout or a company adds a new supplier, the extraction fails, routing the document into an exception queue that demands human intervention.

Beyond basic data entry, clerks execute three-way matching to verify the invoice against the original purchase order and the receiving report. Discrepancies in unit prices, missing line items, or varied item descriptions force finance staff to track down procurement managers for clarification. This investigative work stalls the approval workflow, keeping the processing queue perpetually full.
