Automation of contracts and invoices: how to remove copying from CRM

Start with a repeating document

Select one document that employees fill out most often: an invoice, a commercial proposal, or an agreement with an application. Write down the fields that are transferred by hand and where they come from. Client details, transaction amount and list of works can live in different systems; You first need to determine the source of each value.

Don't automate all the legal language at once. Use a template approved by the responsible specialist. The system helps collect documents and maintain versions; the legal correctness of the conditions is assessed by a person with the appropriate competence.

How to arrange the creation of a document

1. The manager selects the transaction and document type.
2. The system checks the required details and scope of work.
3. Substitutes data into a specific version of the template.
4. Creates a draft and shows which fields require attention.
5. After approval, records the version, author and associated data.
6. Saves the document in the order card and issues it based on access rights.

Where AI helps, and where rules are enough

AI can highlight details from a letter, briefly describe the application, or suggest the text of an accompanying message. To calculate the amount for approved items, it is better to use the usual formula. The date, bank account and final cost should not change from free paraphrasing by the model.

If the input is ambiguous, the result becomes a draft. For example, the letter indicates two companies and several amounts: the system shows the found options, and the manager selects the one he needs. Automatically sending such a document without confirmation will create unnecessary work.

Versions and fixes

Changing the template should not imperceptibly change already agreed-upon documents. Keep a version of the template and a snapshot of the data used. If the client changed the details after the contract, you need to create a new document according to the rules of your process, and not overwrite the previous file.

• The missing field does not turn into an empty space in the finished contract.
• Amounts, taxes and units of measurement are checked against an agreed upon model.
• The document is associated with the correct transaction and organization.
• Clicking again does not create multiple unrelated instances.
• File access is checked on every checkout.

How to evaluate the benefits

Before implementation, measure document preparation time and the number of returns due to errors. After the pilot, compare the same type of documents. Time savings should not be promised without measurement: complex individual contracts may require as much scrutiny as before.
