Did we pay the price we agreed?

The Price agent checks every invoice line against the price agreed on your supplier account and against what you paid for the same product before. When a line is charged above the agreed price, it works out the extra paid and raises one finding, so you can ask for the credit.

One finding: the extra paid, with one thing to do.

Illustration of the Price agent, invented supplier: Each invoice line is read as it arrives. Checked against the agreed price on the invoice date. And against what you paid for it before. One finding: the extra paid, with one thing to do.

What it watches

Every line, measured two ways.

Each invoice line is measured against the price effective on your supplier account on the invoice date, and against your own buying history for the same product. The agent also catches a supplier moving a product to a new code (which would reset its price history) and subscription prices creeping up on your bank feed.

What it catches

One finding per issue, each with one thing to do.

Why it matters

An agreed price is only worth what’s invoiced.

The gap between agreed, historic and charged is where real, recoverable money sits. A line charged above the agreed rate is a credit you can ask for, and the Credits agent tracks it until it arrives.

How it works

Reads, checks, finds, routes.

Every agent runs deterministic checks over your real documents and data, raises one deduplicated finding per issue and routes it to a person with one suggested action. No agent pays, voids, re-prices or closes anything on its own.

  1. 01ReadsInvoice lines, agreed prices and your history, from shared price measures rather than a separate guess.
  2. 02ChecksThe agreed price on the invoice date, volume-weighted drift, code changes and recurring payments.
  3. 03FindsEach issue raised once, deduplicated, with the pounds and the lines behind it.
  4. 04RoutesTo the person who can act, with one verb: query the price.

What it never does

  • Changes a price
  • Adjusts a payment
  • Contacts a supplier for you

The autonomy ceiling: approving, paying and changing a supplier’s status each go through one checkpoint that accepts evidence or a person.

Questions

About the Price agent.

What does the Price agent compare each line against?

The price effective on your supplier account on the invoice date, and your own history for the same product, weighted by the quantity you’ve bought. It doesn’t compare your prices with other customers.

Does it change prices or payments?

No. It prepares the finding and the figures. A person decides whether to query the price, and the Credits agent tracks any credit that follows.

What happens when a supplier changes a product code?

The agent links the old and new codes, so the price history carries across and a rise can’t hide behind a new code.
