Why manual order confirmation processing holds procurement back

When order confirmations arrive by email, PDF or post, someone still has to compare them against the PO and act on any differences. That is where delays, errors and cost overruns start. Doxis removes that step entirely.

FAQs on purchase order confirmation automation

What is purchase order confirmation automation?
Purchase order confirmation automation is the process of automatically capturing, reading and matching inbound order confirmations against the original purchase order, without manual data entry. Software like Doxis extracts all relevant fields, validates them at line-item level and transfers the data directly into your ERP system.
How does automated order confirmation processing work?
When a supplier sends an order confirmation, Doxis captures it regardless of format, PDF, email, EDI or paper, and uses AI to extract the relevant data. It then compares that data against the original purchase order line by line, flags any discrepancies in price, quantity or delivery date, and either posts the confirmation automatically or routes it to the right person for review.
What happens when there is a discrepancy in an order confirmation?
Doxis detects discrepancies at line-item level the moment a confirmation is processed. The responsible person is automatically notified with the full context, the original PO, the confirmation and the specific deviation, so they can act immediately. Follow-up workflows, such as contacting the supplier or adjusting the purchase order, are triggered automatically.
Which ERP systems does Doxis integrate with for order confirmation processing?
Doxis integrates with all major ERP systems including SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics and others. Data from processed confirmations is transferred directly into your ERP without middleware or manual rekeying, keeping your procurement records accurate and up to date.

Yes. Doxis handles order confirmations in any format, including PDF, scanned paper documents, email attachments and structured EDI formats. All confirmations are processed through the same unified workflow regardless of how they arrive or which supplier sent them.
How does order confirmation automation reduce procurement costs?

By automating capture, matching and posting, Doxis reduces the time spent per confirmation significantly, eliminates costly errors from manual entry and speeds up discrepancy resolution so supply chain disruptions are caught earlier.
Is purchase order confirmation automation part of a wider P2P solution?

Doxis covers the entire process from purchase requisitions and outbound orders through to delivery note capture, invoice automation and audit-proof archiving. You can start with the Confirmation module and expand to the full Doxis P2P solution at any time.
