Question 1

How does ASOE resolve duplicate purchase orders?

Accepted Answer

1. Classify the event as DUPLICATE_PO from multi-channel PO data 2. Compute similarity score between the incoming PO and existing POs 3. Apply decision tree: >90% → auto-block, >70% → review required, >50% → soft flag 4. Select from six resolution actions: BLOCK_AND_NOTIFY, MERGE, SUPERSEDE, ALLOW_BOTH, ESCALATE, REQUEST_BUYER_CONFIRMATION 5. Execute DuplicatePORecipe with autonomy level (L1–L4) based on the resolution action 6. Notify the buyer with the resolution decision and audit trail

Question 2

What duplicate purchase orders problems does ASOE solve?

Accepted Answer

Multi-channel duplication: The same purchase order arrives through EDI 850, retailer portals, and email — creating duplicate entries that inflate costs and erode buyer trust. Manual detection: Operations teams manually cross-reference PO numbers, dates, and line items across systems — time-consuming and error-prone. Inconsistent resolution: Without a decision framework, teams handle duplicates differently — sometimes blocking, sometimes merging, sometimes ignoring.

Question 3

What is the ASOE agent workflow for duplicate purchase orders?

Accepted Answer

The ASOE duplicate purchase orders agent follows a structured pipeline: PO Event → Classify → Score Similarity → Decision Tree → Shadow Audit → Resolve → Notify Buyer. Every action is audited through the Compliance Shadow before execution.
