What this solves
Lynx OCR - Purchase Bridge
Drop a vendor invoice on the Purchase Orders list and Lynx OCRs it, matches against the existing PO, and flags variances - so AP gets clean three-way matching without manual data entry.
Three-way matching (PO, receipt, invoice) is the foundation of AP control but the data-entry step is the bottleneck. This bridge runs the generic Lynx OCR engine on dropped PDFs, links the result to the matching PO, runs variance detection between expected and invoiced amounts, and auto-approves matches inside tolerance. Mismatches go to the AP queue with the variance highlighted.
Key Features
Drag-drop on Purchase Orders list - dropping a PDF or image runs OCR and pre-fills the bill.
Three-way matching - compares PO, goods receipt, and invoice; flags variance vs auto-approves inside tolerance.
Document linkage - purchase.ocr.document.purchase_order_id connects the OCR document to the PO.
Manual create action - "Create Purchase Order" button on the OCR document form for invoices without a prior PO.
Goods-receipt aware - uses stock data for the receipt leg when present.
Audit-ready - the OCR document remains attached for every bill created.
Auto-Installation
Installs automatically when both lynx_ocr and purchase are present. Bridges the OCR engine to PO matching so AP gets reliable 3-way matching without manual data entry.
