Intelligent Account Combination Defaulting for Invoices


 Experience intelligent defaulting of accounting information for no-PO invoice lines. This feature uses Al and machine learning algorithms to predict and default segment values of the account code combination on accounts payable invoice lines. AI and machine learning use the historic data patterns and the specific influencing factors for each segment to predict their value.


When the user places the cursor on the distribution combination field for an unmatched invoice line, the segment values are defaulted if the prediction for the segment exceeds the dynamically calculated confidence score threshold. Once any segment values are defaulted, the distribution combination field is highlighted for user review. If a segment is not defaulted, or an incorrect segment is defaulted, the user can enter the relevant value for the missing segment or correct the incorrect defaulted segment value. The Al and machine learning algorithms learn from these edits and use the information to improve the prediction accuracy.
