How Sage Intacct populates draft PO purchase invoices

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) draws data from several sources when populating the header, line item, and subtotal information in draft PO purchase invoice. These sources include the following:

AI/ML predictions
The supplier document that you uploaded or emailed
The transaction definition for the PO purchase invoice
The source purchasing transaction, such as a matched purchase order

You can find specific field sources based on the transaction type.

Header-level document matching

Fields in the Header section

Field	Source
Date	The supplier document that you uploaded or emailed.

Return to	The supplier information record.
Project	The source purchasing transaction.
Custom objects	Custom objects in the header are not populated.
Document number	Uses the next available number in the sequence selected in the transaction definition, unless the transaction definition is set to inherit the source document number.
Converted from	The source purchasing transaction match as predicted by AI/ML. You can override this selection.
Payment terms	The Term defined on the Payment information tab of the supplier information page. If you did not define a term for the supplier, the field is empty.
Date due	The due date is populated as follows: If the Term is defined on the supplier information page, Intacct uses the term to calculate the due date.

Header information

AI/ML uses predictions to match the supplier document to the following:

The correct supplier information record
The source purchasing transaction, which is shown in the Converted from field, when document matching is selected

After the supplier and source purchasing transaction are identified, header fields are populated using data from the supplier information record, the uploaded or emailed supplier document, and the source purchasing transaction.

Line items

With header-level document matching, line items are copied directly from the source purchasing transaction. You can then compare these to the attachment to see if further edits are required.

With line level matching enabled, AI/ML uses predictions to populate line items. When AI/ML detects a near match that's not exact, Sage Intacct alerts you with an exclamation point (!) in the Exception column for that line.

For automated transactions without document matching, line items are predicted by AI/ML.

Subtotals

The Subtotals section of the PO purchase invoice is populated using the discounts and charges you defined in the transaction definition template that was used to create the PO purchase invoice.

If a discount or charge on the supplier document varies from what was defined on the transaction definition, you can edit the value on the supplier invoice.

The Subtotals section does not appear in the following circumstances:

When the supplier and all items IDs are non-taxable
When Subtotals were not enabled in the transaction definition

Date formats

AI uses various parameters to interpret date formats in documents, including the following factors:

Supplier country: Determines regional date format preferences. For example, 4/11/2025 could be April 11 or November 4.
Historical data: Uses past data to identify common date patterns.
Template models: Applies trained models specific to suppliers for improved accuracy.
Date string structure: Analyzes the format to decide which part represents the day, month, and year.
Contextual signals: Considers surrounding text to assign meaning. For example, due date or issue date.

By combining these elements, AI can accurately extract and interpret dates from documents.
