Reducing ERP posting errors with automations means replacing manual typing with a structured workflow: data goes through validation, approval, and only reaches the ERP when it's correct and complete — eliminating the main sources of error.

## Where Posting Errors Come From

Most ERP posting errors originate at the same point: someone copied data from a spreadsheet, an email, or a WhatsApp message and typed it manually into the system. In this process, fields are left blank, amounts diverge, and wrong categories are selected.

Automation doesn't eliminate bad data — it eliminates the manual path that introduces the error.

## What Automations Need to Do

- Capture data at the source (form, approval, CRM) instead of receiving it manually
- Validate required fields before allowing advancement in the workflow
- Standardize categories, cost centers, and vendors according to the ERP's structure
- Send to the ERP only after full approval, with all fields populated

## How Jestor Solves This

- Native forms for structured data capture at the source — no free-text typing

- AI-powered OCR to automatically extract data from invoices and documents
- Native integration with Omie and Conta Azul — data reaches the ERP exactly as configured
- Automation execution log to track what was posted, when, and by which rule
