Chitragupta · The AI Accounts Payable Agent

AI Accounts Payable Automation for SAP Business One

An AI agent that reads your vendor invoices and posts them into SAP.

Most invoice tools are really just OCR, and they break the day a vendor changes their layout. Chitragupta reads an invoice the way one of your own team would, whatever the format or vendor, with no templates to maintain. It checks each one against your PO and GRN and stages the payable in your SAP. Your team approves it, and the agent gets to know your vendors as it goes. Built for Indian businesses.

Read-only by default · nothing posts without a human · runs inside your SAP · India GST-aware

The problem

Manual invoice entry is a leak you pay for twice

Vendor invoices arrive as PDFs, and someone keys each one into SAP by hand. At a few hundred a month, that’s skilled finance people spending their day typing. It’s also where duplicates and over-billed payments slip through, usually late in the day when someone is tired. Template-based OCR only makes it worse, because it breaks the moment a vendor changes their layout. An agent that actually reads and reasons doesn’t.

The shift

Watch the workflow rewire itself.

This is the AP process at a typical manufacturer, mapped end to end, and what happens once Chitragupta takes over the manual middle. The scene cycles between the two days on its own. Just watch.

How the agent works

One agent. One job. End to end.

Chitragupta doesn’t run a fixed macro. It reads an invoice, works through it, checks its own answer, and then hands your team the decision. And it gets a little sharper every run.

READS

Any layout

Reads any invoice format the way a person would, with no templates to build or maintain.

UNDERSTANDS

Your books

Maps each line to your vendor master, GL, tax codes and cost centres.

CHECKS

PO + GRN

3-way match and GST logic, reasoned line by line like your best AP clerk.

ACTS

Stages in SAP

Drafts the A/P invoice in your SAP ERP and surfaces only the exceptions.

LEARNS

Every run

Remembers your vendors, their wording and your past decisions, so it gets better every month.

Best of both worlds

Product speed. Custom fit.

You shouldn’t have to choose between a rigid SaaS box and years of custom build. Chitragupta is both.

Switch it on

A proven agent, ready to run

The AP engine, the rules and the SAP connector already exist, so you’re live in under a week, on the SAP you already run. There’s no new platform for your team to learn and nothing to rip out and replace.

Shape it to you

Configured around your business

Your tax treatments, approval levels and document series are configuration, not code. Need a custom rule, or an integration into the rest of your stack? We build it around you, the way a custom system would, but at product speed.

Control, not guesswork

Autonomous where it has earned it. Controlled where it counts.

You decide how much autonomy it gets. The agent drafts, your people release, and every action leaves a record.

Nothing posts alone

Read-only by default. The agent stages drafts, and a person approves anything that moves money.

Your data stays put

Runs on-prem inside your SAP network. The cloud never connects in; your MIS data never leaves.

Audit-ready by design

Every exception carries a typed reason. Your audit sampling list is built as the agent works.

FAQ

Accounts payable automation, answered

What is accounts payable automation?

Accounts payable automation is software that captures every vendor invoice, reads and validates it, matches it to your purchase order and goods receipt, and posts the payable into your ERP, with your team approving anything that moves money. Chitragupta runs that whole flow inside SAP and NetSuite.

How does Chitragupta automate invoice processing and data entry?

It reads any invoice format on sight, with no templates to maintain, then extracts and checks every line so nobody re-keys an invoice by hand. That removes the manual invoice entry that slows a payables close and turns invoice processing into a same-day, touchless step.

Does it do 3-way matching against the PO and GRN?

Yes. Chitragupta runs an automated 3-way match against your purchase order and goods receipt note, reasons GST line by line, and flags only the exceptions, such as an invoice billed over the PO price, for a person to review.

Which ERPs and platforms does it work with?

It is built for SAP Business One on HANA and S/4HANA, and it also posts into NetSuite, so there is no new platform to roll out. See how it runs on the shop floor on our manufacturing page, or meet the rest of the crew.

Is it GST-compliant for Indian businesses?

Yes. Chitragupta is India GST-aware, handling multi-rate tax, e-invoices and credit notes, and it reconciles against GSTR-2B so input tax credit is caught before it is lost.

How is it different from OCR invoice software?

Template-based OCR breaks the day a vendor changes their layout. Chitragupta reads and reasons the way a person does, so it handles any layout, learns your vendors over time, and gets more accurate every run.

Does anything get paid without approval?

No. It is read-only by default and stages drafts only. A person approves anything that moves money, and every action leaves an audit trail.
