PO vs. Non-PO Invoices: What Can (and Can’t) Be Automated in AP

Gain clarity on one of the most misunderstood areas in Accounts Payable: the difference between PO and Non-PO invoices — and why it matters for automation. Mismanaging these workflows can lead to approval delays, compliance risks, and missed opportunities to streamline your AP process.

In this webinar, our AP automation experts will break down what parts of the invoice process can be fully automated today — and where human oversight still matters. You’ll uncover the most common challenges finance teams face, from inconsistent data to supplier non-compliance, and learn why clean, structured information is key to unlocking the full value of AP automation.

What we’ll cover:

  • PO and non-PO differences and how each impacts your ability to automate
  • Which parts of the invoice process can be automated & where human oversight is still essential
  • How supplier and internal processes impact automation — and how to improve them
  • Why clean, consistent data and supplier compliance are critical
  • Q&A Session
