AWS Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities help streamline procurement processes end-to-end, including automating PO generation and approval, and facilitating the invoice-to-payment workflow.

AWS generative AI can make generating and approval of POs more intelligent. It can automatically draft a PO based on supplier catalogs by generating contextual details such as item descriptions, quantities, delivery timelines, and terms. The orders are then automatically routed to an approval workflow. Invoice processing automation using ML capabilities streamlines extraction of invoice data such as line items, quantities, and amounts from scanned or emailed invoices. This data is fed into a data integration pipeline to automatically match invoices to POs and route them for automated review and approval.

The optimized procurement process reduces manual PO creation and matching checks, reduces errors, and ensures orders are placed based on up-to-date data and business constraints. This significantly reduces manual data entry, accelerates invoice-to-pay cycles, and ensures compliance with procurement controls, creating a seamless and efficient system.
