01The workflow

Four steps, from raw invoice to resolved case.

01

Ingest

The landlord recovery invoice for Site 014 (Leeds Retail Park) is ingested. APhinity reads the PDF, extracts every line item, and matches it to the direct utility bill from the same period.

02

Validate

The 4-way match runs automatically. Every line is tested against the utility bill, the tariff schedule, the lease agreement, and the arithmetic. Two independent exceptions surface.

03

Decide

£24,542.56 is approved for payment. £561.04 is held. A workflow case is raised with full context, evidence packs, and a pre-populated dispute letter for each finding.

04

Evidence

The case is tracked from raised to resolved. The recovery is logged, the audit trail is complete, and ESG data flows automatically from the same validated consumption.

02The 4-way match in action

Every line item tested against reality.

This is the same 4-way match that runs on every invoice, every month, across every site. Select each check to see exactly what it found on this invoice.

Within tolerance

The £0.50 difference is immaterial. Water recovery ties to the bill.

One invoice. Four checks. One evidence-backed decision.

Dispute case raised

A workflow case is created automatically with the invoice, matched tariff, lease clause, and both exceptions attached. The AP team receives full context, not a blank task.

Dispute letter generated

A pre-populated dispute letter is generated citing the tariff gap and the lease clause. The AP team reviews, sends it, and the recovery is tracked to resolution.

AP approval checked the process.
APhinity checked the price.

The PO matched. The supplier name was correct. The arithmetic summed. And the charge was still wrong. The 4-way match found two independent exceptions worth £561.04 on a single invoice, with evidence packs ready to dispute. Site 014's example recovers 2.5x that site's entire annual fee from one month. That is the difference between approval and assurance.
