Is it possible for Invoice Capture or Auto Coding to detect fraudulent or suspicious invoices?

Swank Motion Pictures informed me they received a fraudulent invoice that appeared to be from LinkedIn.

"There were a couple things suspicious about the email but the invoice was an exact match except for the customer number. I am curious would Centime platform recognize the Customer number they provided on the invoice would not match what is in the system?"

Suspicious element: Account number was incorrect

What is the use case?
  • As the machine learning gets more and more familiar with invoices, is it possible for the system to detect fraudulent/suspicious invoices such as when Customer Number or Ship To differs from historical invoice-captured invoices.

  • Since we capture these fields - even though they are not on the invoice form - is it possible for Autocoding to flag these discrepancies?

Impact?
  • This can elevate the value of the AP module

  • Clients are very sensitive to fraud these days

  • As we go upmarket larger clients may have invoices coming from all over and they may not catch discrepancies

Is there a work around?

Yes the client can just look more closely at the invoice

Proposed solution?

Perhaps ML/Autocoding can detect and flag when captured fields do not match the same fields on previously captured invoices.

    Love the idea! Will think on this and consider how we can incorporate.
