Finance teams are under pressure like never before. Compliance mandates keep evolving, invoice volumes continue to rise, and manual exceptions still consume far too much time. Even with mature AP automation in place, 10–20% of incoming documents still require manual removal due to validation issues or non‑invoice content — a drain on productivity and a persistent source of errors.
That’s exactly why we introduced Basware Guardian for AP: your intelligent first line of defense that ensures only clean, compliant, and process‑ready documents enter your AP workflow.
And now, you can experience it firsthand in our on‑demand demo — originally delivered live last week.

What Is Guardian for AP?
Guardian for AP acts as the intelligent control layer that AP teams have been missing — catching issues before they cascade downstream. It uses advanced AI, business rules, and compliance validation to detect issues early, strengthen control, and keep processes moving smoothly.
Key capabilities include:
- Document Filter
Automatically identifies and removes non‑invoices, duplicates, fraudulent documents, and incomplete submissions before they reach AP.
- Dashboard with Real‑Time Visibility
Gain a clear view into the lifecycle of every financial document so teams can manage exceptions proactively.
- Compliance Center
Country‑specific compliance rules are applied automatically, reducing audit risk and keeping you ahead of changing mandates.
- AI‑Driven Supplier Collaboration
Guardian introduces an AI‑powered Supplier Collaboration service to streamline dispute resolution, auto‑respond to inquiries, and reduce back‑and‑forth communication.
- Intelligent Document Classification
Classifies and routes non‑invoice documents—like statements or reminders—to the right destination instantly.
Together, these capabilities shift AP from a reactive to a proactive function, elevating accuracy, efficiency, and control.
Why Guardian for AP Matters
AP teams spend 30–40% of their time handling exceptions, approvals, and supplier inquiries. Guardian drastically reduces that effort by catching issues early and keeping invalid documents out of your workflow altogether.
With Guardian, organizations can:
- Prevent errors and non‑compliant invoices from entering AP
- Reduce manual exception handling
- Speed up invoice cycles
- Strengthen fraud detection and duplicate prevention
- Improve audit readiness with better traceability
It’s not just about automation, it’s about making automation smarter.
