Click through the steps. Fictional data, in Paladin’s terms; the real thing runs on Paladin.
Read overnight: vendor, invoice number, PO, lines, total.
The problem, as it happens in Paladin.
Vendor invoices arrive as PDFs, photos and the odd spreadsheet statement, and the AP desk retypes them, finds the PO in Paladin, finds the receipt, and pulls the signed delivery ticket from Paladin’s invoice history 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 Paladin
Vendor, PO, receipt and amounts, line by line against what Paladin has. Any figure Paladin 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 Paladin the way they always have, as a bill entered in Paladin’s accounts payable. The signed delivery ticket is appended behind the invoice as one PDF, and a person imports or keys the voucher.
How it connects to Paladin.
Lunica reads Paladin’s open purchase orders, receipts, vendor file and AP subledger through Paladin’s database, under an account that can only read, confirmed at onboarding, and the AP mailbox and scan share for the documents themselves. Each document is matched to its PO and receipt line by line. Figures Paladin 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 Paladin on its own. A matched invoice goes back as a bill entered in Paladin’s accounts payable, imported or keyed by your team, and Paladin matches it to the receipt as it always has. Vendor questions are drafts until a person sends them. The signed delivery ticket from Paladin’s invoice history 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 Paladin’s subledger.
Questions
Does Lunica post vouchers to Paladin?
No. The board tells you what’s right. A matched invoice becomes a bill entered in Paladin’s accounts payable; your team imports or keys it, and nothing lands in Paladin without a person.
What about EDI invoices?
Marketplace EDI invoices are fetched as structured data, never read by a model, and matched to Paladin 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 Paladin 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 Paladin’s invoice history 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 Windows server inside your network, beside the Paladin server, set up and maintained by Lunica. It reads Paladin through Paladin’s database, under an account that can only read, confirmed at onboarding. There is no inbound connection from outside your network.
What does Lunica read in Paladin?
The customer account, open items and terms, purchase orders and receipts, the inventory record, quotes and order history, as each workflow needs them. Read-only, and only the rows a task is about.
Can it post to Paladin?
Nothing lands in Paladin without a person. What belongs in Paladin goes back as keyed by your team in Paladin from what Lunica prepared.
What about our documents?
Invoice copies and scans keep living in Paladin’s invoice history. Lunica reads them when a workflow needs one and never writes to them.
