It handles complex formats, including tables and multi-line items, without manual intervention. As part of Tipalti’s automated invoice processing, it streamlines invoice intake and improves data accuracy.
Invoice Coding Agent for Header and Line-item Coding
Tipalti’s Invoice Coding Agent automatically codes invoice fields by recognizing consistent patterns at both the header and line-item levels, including custom fields such as department, location, tax codes, and expense accounts.

Finance teams can configure tolerance thresholds at the header and line level to automate exception handling while maintaining full control over spend.
