The assistive layer vendors bolt onto the transactional core — invoice capture and coding, anomaly flags on journals, cash forecasts, natural-language querying of reports. The gap between what gets demoed and what is generally available is wider here than in any other module.
Written to separate what is generally available from what is shown. Ask them in the order given; the later ones assume the earlier answers.
Which of these features are generally available to all customers today, and which are in private beta or on the roadmap?
Where is our data processed when a model runs, and is any of it retained or used to train something outside our tenant?
When the system codes an invoice or flags a journal, what does the audit trail record about why it decided that?
What accuracy has this reached at a customer with our transaction volume and our chart of accounts, and who reviews the exceptions?
21 of the 53 profiled systems document this module. Alphabetical; a listing is a documented fact, not an endorsement.
