## Problem

Receiving invoices from many suppliers meant gathering attachments that arrived through different channels, reading each document and keying the data into the PMR ERP by hand. Typing errors and duplicate invoices only showed up later, during reconciliation.

## Solution

FaturaPronta gives each supplier a link to send invoices, with no account needed. Each document is read, validated and prepared for import into PMR. The team only reviews what the system could not confirm.

## How it works

1. **A link per supplier.** Each supplier gets its own link. They send the PDF or a photo of the invoice and receive a confirmation.
2. **Tax authority QR code.** The system first reads the Portuguese Tax Authority QR code, which carries the tax number, date, totals and VAT exactly.
3. **OCR as a fallback.** When the QR code is missing or unreadable, the PDF text or OCR extracts the data.
4. **Validation.** Tax number, sums, VAT and duplicates are checked. Anything that fails goes to a validation portal for human review.
5. **Export to PMR.** Validated invoices are exported in the PMR ERP import format.

## Result

Invoices reach PMR already read and checked. The team stops copying data from PDFs into the ERP and focuses on the exceptions the system flags.
