Click through the steps. Fictional data, in NetSuite’s terms; the real thing runs on NetSuite.
Read overnight: vendor, invoice number, PO, lines, total.
The problem, as it happens in NetSuite.
Vendor invoices arrive as PDFs, photos and the odd spreadsheet statement, and the AP desk retypes them, finds the PO in NetSuite, finds the receipt, and pulls the signed delivery ticket from the File Cabinet to staple behind. Most of them match. All of them take the same time.
The ones that don’t match are the ones that matter, and they’re buried in the pile: a quantity short on the receipt, a price off the PO, a statement line nobody can place. By the time someone emails the vendor, the discount date has passed.
How it works.
- 1
Documents come in overnight
One pass a night reads what landed in the AP mailbox: invoices, statements and credit memos, as PDFs, photos or spreadsheets. EDI invoices from your buying group’s marketplace come in the same way.
- 2
Each one is matched to NetSuite
Vendor, PO, receipt and amounts, line by line against what NetSuite has. Any figure NetSuite can’t confirm is read twice, by two different models, and only agreement counts. A disagreement waits for a person.

The board sorts the work
Perfect matches sit in Ready to pay. Discrepancies land in Issue identified with the difference spelled out. Vendor questions are drafted; a person sends them, and the reply lands on the card.

Your team enters what’s right
Matched invoices go into NetSuite the way they always have, as a vendor bill. The signed delivery ticket is appended behind the invoice as one PDF, and a person imports or keys the voucher.
How it connects to NetSuite.
Lunica reads NetSuite’s open purchase orders, receipts, vendor file and AP subledger through SuiteQL and the REST API, under a role that can only read, and the AP mailbox and scan share for the documents themselves. Each document is matched to its PO and receipt line by line. Figures NetSuite can confirm are trusted; figures it can’t are read by two models and accepted only when they agree. Marketplace EDI invoices are fetched as data and matched the same way.
Nothing is posted to NetSuite on its own. A matched invoice goes back as a vendor bill, imported or keyed by your team, and NetSuite matches it to the receipt as it always has. Vendor questions are drafts until a person sends them. The signed delivery ticket from the File Cabinet is appended behind the invoice as one PDF, the file the AP desk used to assemble by hand.
What a week looks like.
- Clean invoices stop costing time.
- Every exception says what’s wrong and by how much.
- Delivery tickets attach themselves.
- Statements reconcile line by line against NetSuite’s subledger.
Questions
Does Lunica post vouchers to NetSuite?
No. The board tells you what’s right. A matched invoice becomes a vendor bill; your team imports or keys it, and nothing lands in NetSuite without a person.
What about EDI invoices?
Marketplace EDI invoices are fetched as structured data, never read by a model, and matched to NetSuite by invoice number and PO.
Do vendor emails go out automatically?
Never. Vendor questions are drafts until a person sends them.
How accurate is the reading?
Figures NetSuite can confirm are trusted. Figures it can’t are read by two independent models and only agreement is accepted; anything else waits in Issue identified for a one-click pick.
What about expense invoices with no PO?
Vendors you tag as expense skip the PO match and go straight to coding review.
What happens to the scanned delivery tickets?
They keep flowing into the File Cabinet as before. Lunica reads them and pairs each ticket with its invoice; the archive keeps working exactly as it did.
Does it need a server?
Lunica runs on one server inside your network that connects out to your NetSuite account, set up and maintained by Lunica. It reads NetSuite through SuiteQL and the REST API, under a role that can only read. There is no inbound connection from outside your network.
What does Lunica read in NetSuite?
The customer record, open items and terms, purchase orders and receipts, the item record, quotes and order history, as each workflow needs them. Read-only, and only the rows a task is about.
Can it post to NetSuite?
Nothing lands in NetSuite without a person. What belongs in NetSuite goes back as a NetSuite API call or CSV import where one exists, or keyed by your team from what Lunica prepared.
What about our documents?
Invoice copies and scans keep living in the File Cabinet. Lunica reads them when a workflow needs one and never writes to them.
