Invoice PDFs move from Cloud Storage through field extraction and normalization into warehouse-native SQL reconciliation against historical records; duplicate and amount-mismatch branches require human review before any approved posting.

Summary: Google Cloud and Alteryx describe a browser-built invoice workflow that stages PDFs in Cloud Storage, extracts fields with Gemini or Document AI, and matches them against governed BigQuery records. Alteryx Live Query orchestrates the steps while SQL pushdown keeps transformations inside the warehouse. The example targets duplicates, mismatched amounts, and traceable exception handling.

Why it matters: Finance teams can prototype document automation without surrendering validation to a language model. Define required invoice fields, reconcile against trusted records, route uncertain matches for review, and measure exception rates and audit completeness before permitting an automatic posting step.
