LLMs advance invoice extraction but don't automate accounts payable

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly improved invoice extraction by enabling template-free processing and handling document messiness, they do not fully automate accounts payable. LLMs excel at the initial reading step, but crucial subsequent stages like validation, entity resolution, policy application, and exception handling still require human intervention. Current models often fail to signal uncertainty, returning plausible but incorrect data, which erodes trust in finance teams and prevents true straight-through processing. AI
