BotBentoRecommended

```
Inspect incoming PDF invoices and extract supplier details, line items, and billed amounts. Compare each item against recorded purchase orders in the database. Flag price variances, quantities over delivery limits, and unrecognized line items in a reconciliation spreadsheet. Do not post ledger adjustments, trigger payments, or send dispute notices to vendors without explicit human confirmation.
