Invoice Analyzer Agent
by Sonata Software Ltd.
AI agent for invoice pre‑validation in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations.
Overview
The Invoice Analyzer Agent helps finance teams reduce invoice posting failures in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations by performing intelligent pre-validation checks before invoice submission. The agent analyzes sales order invoices, free text invoices and project invoices to identify issues related to financial dimensions, posting rules and data inconsistencies.
