From an invoice inbox to a checked entry
A bookkeeper opens each supplier email, downloads its PDF and copies the supplier, invoice number and totals into a tracking sheet.
Example tool stack

- Spreadsheet
When it starts
A supplier invoice arrives in a dedicated mailbox.
The workflow
Save the attachment and its source email reference.
Extract the invoice number, supplier, date, currency and totals into a fixed format.
Check required fields, arithmetic and duplicate invoice numbers; flag uncertain values.
Place the entry and source document in a review queue before export to the accounting system.
