## About this tender

Brief Description of purchase:

Gartner research has developed a standard reference model for the key phases in IPD workflow. HE's key functionality is, in relation to AP and AR:

### Ingestion

- Extract invoice and credit PDFs from emails (must have)
- Recognise and consolidate supporting documentation with the original invoice e.g. invoice + excel usage report and attach both to the registered document (nice to have)
- Recognise and separate individual invoices/credits where email contains multiple attachments (must have)

### Document Classification

- Identify between invoices and credits and handle differently (must have)
- Not processing anything which isn't an invoice or credit note e.g. statement, reminder letter, order confirmation (must have - see 1)

### Data Extraction

- Recognise text on invoice regardless of position, orientation, text colour, font (type or handwritten) (must have)
- Recognise relevant invoice information from email content e.g. PO number quoted in email (nice to have)

### Validation

- Check document compliance i.e. PO, VAT reg number, correct company name etc (must have)
- Compare supplier information e.g. bank details from the invoice against supplier information held on the finance system (must have)
- Exceptions list for human intervention including reason(s) per document e.g. non-compliance, missing information (must have)
- Flag/classify invoices with queries vs those perfect for onward processing e.g. duplicate invoice, bank details don't match, PO complete/invalid (must have)

### Integration

- Populate Integra data fields (must have)
- Data transfer to Integra via flat file (must have)
- Attaching document images in Integra (must have)

In relation to assessment criteria for a platform which meets our requirements, HE has further suggested that the following factors are taken into account:

- Flat file capability
- A solution which demonstrated flexible and high quality, efficient handling of diverse document types - information in different places, handwritten, light text etc
- Ease of use and training
- Support for human to handle exceptions - user experience
- Detailed proof concept
- Exceptions handling capability
- Replicated across multiple entities with different rules
