Reads the document

Reads the document

Sample data · your team stays in control. The confirmation is shown next to extracted fields. Delivery on 18 October is compared with 15 October requested on the PO; the team reviews the difference.

The purchasing team’s daily work

A received confirmation is not yet a checked order.

The PDF may look right. But a postponed date, a revised price or a different quantity can change what you expect from your supplier.

Conditions to check again

Open the PDF, find the purchase order in your ERP and compare every line. A repetitive check that multiplies with every supplier.

Differences hidden in details

A delivery delay in a note. A price change on one line. A confirmed quantity that covers only part of your order. These are the details to see early.

Decisions scattered across emails

Purchasing, back office and planning exchange clarifications. They need a shared view of what was requested and what has been confirmed.

Field-by-field comparison

Beyond reading a PDF. Check it against the order.

Typelens puts confirmation data in the context of the PO. Your team can focus on the points that need a decision, with the source document close at hand.

How it works

From incoming confirmation to reviewed proposal.

A workflow for purchasing: capture, read, compare and let the people who know the supplier relationship decide.

1

Capture the confirmation

Emails and attachments enter through the configured channel. The source document stays available during review.

2

Read the relevant data

Typelens identifies order references, items, quantities, prices and delivery dates present in the document.

3

Compare with the PO

The data is checked against the purchase order. Differences and uncertain matches are highlighted.

4

Approve the proposal

Your team reviews differences and decides what to accept. The ERP handoff follows the rules of the configured workflow.

Purchasing stays in control

The date changes. The decision stays yours.

The supplier confirms 18 October instead of the requested 15 October. Typelens makes the difference visible; your team assesses its impact and decides whether to accept it or ask for clarification.

  • See the source document alongside extracted data.
  • Compare the confirmed condition with the requested one.
  • Review the proposal before the ERP handoff.

Order confirmation questions

Documents, differences and your ERP: setting up the workflow for purchasing.

It reads the supplier confirmation, extracts relevant data and compares it with the purchase order. Differences in quantities, prices and dates are brought to your team’s attention so they can review the proposal before the ERP handoff.
No. An incoming customer order needs to be interpreted to prepare a sales order. A supplier confirmation is compared with a purchase order already issued: the goal is to check confirmed conditions against those requested.
Yes, the workflow can capture emails and attachments through the configured channel. Setup includes checking the mailbox, formats and delivery methods actually used by your suppliers.
The difference is highlighted alongside the PO data. Your team checks the source, assesses the change and decides how to proceed. A different condition is not treated as automatically accepted.
Include these cases in the trial documents. Comparison needs to be defined at line level and, where present, for individual deliveries. Quantities or dates without a clear match should remain in review: the configuration is checked against your specific cases.
An uncertain link needs review. Data such as the supplier, items and references helps comparison, but does not replace your team’s review when the PO cannot be clearly identified.
The workflow described here includes team review of differences and the proposal. Updatable fields and write-back methods depend on the integration and agreed rules. These are checked during setup.
Bring representative confirmations and their corresponding purchase orders, ideally covering aligned conditions, a price change, a delayed delivery or a partial quantity. Tell us which ERP you use and which data you want to compare.
