Vendor and amount policy
Compare the invoice against limits, known vendor context, and required approval paths.
AP and procurement agents
Do not let an AP agent pay the wrong invoice quietly.
AP and procurement agents can move money from inbox to approval to payment. Featherlane AI adds a pre-payment decision for invoice amount, vendor, bank details, duplicate risk, and sign-off policy.
Failure modes
Automation needs proof at the approval boundary.
- A spoofed invoice matches a real vendor name.
- Bank details change after approval.
- A duplicate invoice is paid on retry.
- An over-policy payment is approved without the required signer.
Runtime check
Controls for invoice actions
Bank-detail risk
Hold or block payments when destination details change at the edge of payment.
Approval proof
Record who approved the borderline payment and why it satisfied policy.
Audit proof
Audit evidence for finance
ok Invoice amount and vendor
ok Workflow step and policy threshold
ok Approval or escalation decision
ok Traceable reason for audit review
Questions
What teams ask before they wire it in.
Does this replace AP approval software?
No. It is a runtime policy check for the moment an agent tries to approve, modify, or pay.
Can it work with existing ERPs?
Yes, when the AP workflow sends the proposed action to Featherlane AI before the ERP or payment call executes.
