Intelligent Account Combination Defaulting

As an accounts payable analyst, you can use the default values for account combinations that AI and machine-learning algorithms provide on the accounts payable invoice lines.

Al and machine-learning algorithms predict and automatically default segment values of the account code combination on no-PO accounts payable invoice lines. For these predictions, AI and machine-learning algorithms use historic data patterns and other influencing factors. Segment values are defaulted if they exceed the dynamically calculated confidence score threshold for each segment to maintain a high level of prediction accuracy. If the confidence score threshold isn't met, these segments remain blank and require manual input.

When a distribution combination segment value is defaulted and then edited to a different value, the Al and machine-learning algorithms use these corrections to improve the prediction accuracy.

Here are some benefits of using this feature:

  • Reduced entry time and accelerate the process of making invoices ready for payment
  • Reduced “think time”
  • Focus on data accuracy rather than data entry
Note: It's best practice that at least 3 months of invoice history is available for satisfactory rendering of predictions by the AI models. Additional invoice history would further improve the prediction performance.
