The problem
Supplier invoices describe items in the supplier's words, not the buyer's catalog codes. Before a line can be matched to a PO or posted to inventory, someone maps it to a SKU, and with thousands of SKUs that mapping is a daily chore.
How it works
The invoice line's fields, including its vendor, go into the where clause and _predict of sku follows the link from invoice lines to the product catalog. The answer is a ranked shortlist with the reasons behind each candidate, so a reviewer confirms the right SKU instead of searching for it.
The demo runs a live batch against held-out lines and marks each prediction right or wrong, so the accuracy on view is measured, not claimed. Lines from suppliers with no history are flagged as cold.
