Setting up a vendor or customer and creating the first bill or invoice usually takes 30 minutes. Someone opens the signed contract, reads the terms, and retypes the amount, rates, payment terms, and the billing period. Then the record exists, and from that point on, nothing ever checks it against the contract again.
That gap is where overbilling, wrong payment terms, and missing line items live. Today we're closing it. AI Contract Intelligence is live in Niural Pay across both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.
What’s changed
You can now attach contracts to vendor and customer profiles, link them to individual bills and invoices, and let Emma continuously check that every record matches the contract it's billed or invoiced against.
Every other AP automation tool extracts data from the invoice after it arrives. None of them verify the transaction against the signed contract. This update makes the contract a first-class object in Niural Pay and puts Emma's verdict directly in the workflow, so a mismatch gets caught before payment or invoice goes out.
What's included
- Contract upload and storage. Attach one or more contracts to any vendor profile in AP or customer profile in AR, either during creation or later.
- Linked contract on bills and invoices. An optional field on both creation forms, editable afterward from the detail page. Change it, and a fresh scan kicks off automatically.
- Emma's alignment scan. Emma compares amount, line items, quantities, rates, payment terms, due dates, currency, tax, discount, vendor or customer name, and billing period. Built-in tolerances mean rounding and small date shifts don't turn into noise.
- Emma's Review column. A new column on the Bills and Invoices list pages, sortable and filterable, so the team can surface everything that isn't aligned in one click.
- Emma Summary on detail pages. A status badge, a plain-language summary, and a flagged-fields table showing contract value versus record value, the deviation, and the severity, with a link straight back to the source contract. Re-scan, view the contract, or mark as reviewed from the same place.
This is the first step toward finance operations where the contract, the bill, and the payment stay in agreement without anyone re-reading a PDF to confirm it.
