Automating Procurement & Finance with Oracle Fusion Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR)

In today’s fast-paced business environment, manual invoice entry is no longer sustainable. Accounts Payable (AP) and Procurement teams spend countless hours keying in invoice data, chasing mismatched purchase orders, and validating payments—often at the expense of strategic initiatives.

This is where Oracle Fusion Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR) comes in.

What is IDR?

Oracle IDR is an AI-powered document recognition tool that reads, understands, and processes business documents—particularly invoices—directly within Oracle Fusion. Unlike traditional OCR, IDR leverages machine learning models that continuously improve with use, reducing errors and automating the bulk of manual work.

How It Works

1. Invoices are uploaded or emailed into the system.
2. IDR automatically extracts key details (supplier, PO number, tax, total, etc.).
3. Data is validated against ERP records and matched to purchase orders.
4. Exceptions are flagged for review, while most entries pass through untouched.

The result? Faster invoice cycles, fewer errors, and cleaner data flowing into Finance systems.

Use Cases in the Enterprise

• Procurement: Faster supplier invoice approvals, automated PO matching, and capturing of early-payment discounts that would otherwise be missed.
• Finance: Accounts Payable teams save significant hours on manual entry, reduce duplicate payments, and strengthen compliance with audit-ready records.

Why ECS?

As an Oracle partner, ECS ensures IDR is not only deployed but optimized. We help enterprises:

• Roll out IDR within Procurement & Finance workflows
• Integrate IDR with supplier portals and ERP modules
• Train teams for adoption and change management
• Measure ROI through cycle time reduction and improved data accuracy

Bottom line: IDR transforms the way enterprises handle invoices—freeing up Finance and Procurement teams to focus on value creation rather than data entry.
