Put an AI agent to work in Procurement

An AI agent can assist with the purchasing tasks you configure it to perform. Give it a separate identity and the access needed for its role. Verify its reads and actions against the configured application before enabling it in live work.

Set it up

  1. Teach your agent ERP.AI

    Load the ERP.AI skill and paste the output into your agent. It explains how to read and update records in your workspace.

    curl -fsSL https://www.erp.ai/skill.md
  2. Give it a role

    Assign the agent its own user and one of the 9 roles. It gets exactly the access that role has, and no more.

  3. Check what it can reach

    Confirm which records, actions and connections the agent can use in your workspace before you point it at real data.

  4. Review its work and usage

    Check the drafts and changes it proposes, and watch its usage receipts as you give it more to do. Agent work uses prepaid credits.

What the agent can do

  • Requester: Drafts a purchase request from the need described, suggests permitted catalog items and identifies missing department, cost center or category information.
  • Approver: Organizes assigned steps and the permitted business justification, proposed purchase amount and supporting evidence.
  • Buyer: Collects approved requests for conversion, prepares RFQ scope, summarizes supplier responses and follows up on acknowledgments or outstanding delivery quantities.
  • Procurement Manager: Prepares agreement renewal briefs, qualification review queues, price exceptions and proposed eligible reassignments for overdue approvals.

What stays with a person

  • Required approvals, supplier awards, price exceptions and supplier-status decisions stay with their designated people.
  • An agent cannot expand a spend approval, bypass a matrix step or turn an RFQ award into authority to order.
  • Configure any permitted automated transition explicitly and retain the policy and source revision that justified it.
  • Acting through an agent never removes a conflict of duties or a pricing restriction.
