# DeepRead Purchase Orders

Turn purchase orders — PDF or scanned — into clean, typed JSON: PO number, buyer and supplier, every line item with quantity and price, delivery dates, and totals. Pair it with extracted invoices for automated 2-way / 3-way matching.

> This skill instructs the agent to POST documents to `https://api.deepread.tech` and poll for results. No system files are modified.

## 2-Way Match (PO vs Invoice)

Extract both the PO and the matching invoice (use `deepread-invoice`), then reconcile in code:

```python
po_total = po_fields["total"]
inv_total = invoice_fields["total"]
if abs(po_total - inv_total) > 0.01:
    print(f"⚠ MISMATCH: PO {po_total} vs invoice {inv_total} — hold for review")
else:
    print("✓ PO and invoice match — approve for payment")
```

## Use Cases

- **Procurement automation** — capture POs into your ERP without manual entry
- **AP 2-way / 3-way matching** — reconcile PO ↔ invoice ↔ receipt automatically
- **Supplier management** — track ordered SKUs, quantities, and delivery commitments
- **Spend analysis** — aggregate line items across POs

## Tips

- **Capture `sku`** when present — it's the most reliable key for matching.
- **Recurring supplier format?** Build a blueprint at `https://www.deepread.tech/dashboard/optimizer`.
- **Check `needs_review`** — only flagged fields need a human.
