Is AI based AP automation actually working for anyone? With exceptions - we have to basically recheck everything again.

Straight through invoices process fine, but anything that trips an exception, mismatched PO, unclear vendor field, an OCR miss, kicks back to a human. And at that point it's not a quick spot check, it's re verifying the whole invoice from scratch because you don't trust what the automation already touched. If exceptions are still running 15-20% of volume, how much time is genuinely being saved once you count the double-handling on top of it?

TBH, sometime we have to also double check every invoice (even the correct ones) but its bit faster as OCR does some work. But exceptions are a night mare.

I am re-thinking if it actually helped us or just re-routed our efforts/time.
