DeepRead Purchase Orders

Turn purchase orders — PDF or scanned — into clean, typed JSON: PO number, buyer and supplier, every line item with quantity and price, delivery dates, and totals. Pair it with extracted invoices for automated 2-way / 3-way matching.

This skill instructs the agent to POST documents to https://api.deepread.tech and poll for results. No system files are modified.

2-Way Match (PO vs Invoice)

Extract both the PO and the matching invoice (use deepread-invoice), then reconcile in code:

po_total = po_fields["total"]
inv_total = invoice_fields["total"]
if abs(po_total - inv_total) > 0.01:
    print(f"⚠ MISMATCH: PO {po_total} vs invoice {inv_total} — hold for review")
else:
    print("✓ PO and invoice match — approve for payment")

Use Cases

• Procurement automation — capture POs into your ERP without manual entry
• AP 2-way / 3-way matching — reconcile PO ↔ invoice ↔ receipt automatically
• Supplier management — track ordered SKUs, quantities, and delivery commitments
• Spend analysis — aggregate line items across POs

Tips

• Capture sku when present — it's the most reliable key for matching.
• Recurring supplier format? Build a blueprint at https://www.deepread.tech/dashboard/optimizer.
• Check needs_review — only flagged fields need a human.
