Automatic interpretation in Briox
Machine learning
In Briox every account gets their own individual “AI robot”. This means that it is trained by you, and it works specifically for you and your accounting.
Your robot learns every time you post an invoice or a journal. This means that there is no interpretation result the first time a document is sent for interpretation. Every single entry you make will train the robot and make its suggestions more accurate.
What documents can be interpreted
All images or PDF's that have been scanned, mailed or uploaded to the linked documents folders of the Briox archive (with the exception of the Financial statements, Customer invoices, Payroll and Other folders).
How can I speed up the process and get better results faster?
When setting up new clients you can copy one or several robots you have trained in other accounts. This way you do not start from scratch with every new client.
For existing clients, you can copy robots from the list in your client manager.
Click on the robot icon at the end of the row to get a list of accounts you can copy from.
Via this Icon you can also remove robots and their legacy from an account.

Automation Settings
Further automate you work in Briox by activating the automation Settings available under Settings - Accounting - Automation.
To enhance automation even further, you can create rules for incoming supplier invoices. These rules allow specific invoices or suppliers to be flagged in the supplier invoice list.
Flagged invoices are excluded from mass processing and posting, ensuring that you review them manually except for high value invoices.
Flagged invoices will however be allowed to proceed to the app for payment if you have tuned on the possibility to pay invoices before posting under Settings - Accounting - Approval Levels.
See below a short description of each feature,
Automation for incoming supplier invoices
Automatically post supplier e-invoices that are a perfect match
When this setting is turned on all incoming invoices that are a full match get automatically posted by the system every day. A notification informs you which invoices have been automatically posted.
Note:
- The unique invoice number is used for duplicate control together with the supplier ID. Invoices identified as duplicates are held in the incoming document list and flagged as duplicates. These invoices can be deleted.
-
If the Posting approval is turned on Briox will save the invoice only for it to follow its path through the approval workflow.
Automatically save all incoming supplier e-invoices
This feature allows incoming supplier e-invoices to be saved directly as unposted supplier invoices.
-
When you receive e-invoices and the supplier is not found in your registry, Briox automatically creates a new supplier using the details from the e-invoice.
You will then be prompted to review and save or edit, the supplier as needed.
As invoices are now saved, app users can now approve the invoice directly in the app.
Note:
In the case of invoices with new suppliers, no mass management is allowed until the new supplier is approved.
If you want to delete a supplier, remove the supplier from the invoice and replace is with a placeholder. The supplier can only be deleted if it is not used in the invoice.
Automatically Post supplier invoices that are a perfect match
When supplier invoices are interpreted, you can set a required number of perfect matches before the system is allowed to post an invoice automatically.
This setting will affect all invoices that are not e-invoices: uploaded, e-mailed in, sent from the app, or sent in by one of our integration partners.
Note:
- When supplier invoices are uploaded manually in the supplier invoice view, in the side pannel. The invoices are not posted automatically, they are only interpreted.
-
A deviating invoice date can also prevent an invoice from being posted automatically
- Forward in time: An invoice with an invoice date in the future will not be posted automatically. It is saved and flagged as a date deviation, and must be posted manually.
- Backwards in time: If the Period is closed or the account is locked the invoice cannot be posted automatically AND we do not post invoices that are more than 1 month old (they are flagged in the list).
Warnings: Flagged supplier invoices
You can set up the following warnings in Briox:
Warning for deviating amounts
If the invoice amount deviates by more than X% (positive or negative) compared to the previous three invoices from the same supplier, the invoice will not be posted automatically — even if all other matching criteria are met. The invoice will instead be highlighted in the list for review. Posting Via mass management is permitted.
Warning for due date urgency
If the invoice due date is within X days, the invoice will be highlighted in the list so you can prioritise handling it.
Warning for a high value invoice
Invoices exceeding the defined value limit will be held and flagged in the list. Posting Via mass management is permitted.
Flagged Suppliers
Typical reasons for flagging include:
Accruals
Leasing agreements
Transactions requiring variable account allocationT
To flag a supplier,
- Go to Settings - Accounting - Automation
-
Under Flagged suppliers, use the autocomplete field to select a supplier and add them to the list och flagged supplier.
If you want to add a specific reason for flagging:
- click on the link Show flagged suppliers.
- A modal will appear with all your suppliers and you can add a reason there
You can also create custom reasons to automatically prevent invoices from selected suppliers from being posted:
Go to Registry - Suppliers and Select the Supplier Category tab
Click Add Category
In the Modal that appears enter the category of your choice. this category will now be available to apply to a selected supplier.
Visibility in the supplier invoice list
A column called Deviations displays the flag icon, and a column called Reason displays the reason for the waning.
The reasons disappear when the invoices are posted.
Currently, the flagged suppliers' invoices are marked with the generic reason “Flagged”, but this will soon be replaced with the specific reasons you have defined on each supplier.
Banking
Online statements are picked up automatically
If you use Online as a payment method, Briox will automatically pick up your account statement for you when it is available.
The same is true if you use incoming reference payments service.
Briox checks every hour if new statements are available at you bank and informs you when they are uploaded to the system.
Matched transactions are posted automatically
- Automatically post supplier invoice payments that are a perfect match
-
Automatically post customer invoice payments that are a perfect match
Turning on the Settings will allow the Briox System to automatically post payment matches that are considered to be full matches when Online account statements are imported. These are the payments that are marked in green under process transactions in Banking, or under Process payments under Invoicing.
This means that the invoice will automatically be paid and reconciled and the transaction in the account statement will be linked to the payment journal that has been created.
For a supplier invoice this means that the match has been made on the reference number, the IBAN and the sum.
For a customer invoice this means that the match has been made on the reference number and the sum.
All operations carried out by the Briox system can be tracked in the Activity log by filtering on the user “Briox System”.
