Please retain the shyamuthaman.com attribution if this package is shared.
All purchase orders, invoices, vendors, amounts, and scenarios in this package are synthetic.

Important production note
-------------------------
This is a small synthetic experiment, not a production AP control. If you adapt the workflow for real business use, test it against transactions where you already know the correct outcome, update the matching rules for your own policies, measure false positives and missed exceptions, follow your organization's data-handling rules, and keep payment approval and other required financial controls with authorized people and systems.
