Finger Automates Voucher Creation with AI...Advancing ERP Systems

Finger, a company specializing in SaaS (Service as a Software) platforms, announced on January 14 that it has newly applied its LLM-based voucher automation features, "Malmanhae AI (Beta)" and "Receipt OCR (Beta)," to its own ERP products.

PharosERP and StellaERP, which are provided by Finger, are cloud-based integrated management platforms developed in collaboration with Samil PwC. These are practical ERP systems designed to efficiently support core management tasks such as accounting, finance, and HR for startups and small to medium-sized businesses.

The newly released "Malmanhae AI" and "Receipt OCR" both leverage AI technology to fully automate the entire voucher creation process.

"Malmanhae AI" is the first LLM-based chatbot voucher auto-generation feature in the domestic ERP industry to utilize generative AI. When users enter transaction details in everyday language or keywords, the AI understands the input, automatically recognizes the transaction date, amount, account title, business partner, and more, and generates the voucher accordingly.

Even if the input contains incomplete sentences or minor typos, the AI can accurately extract key information by understanding the transaction context, naturally integrating the capabilities of generative AI into practical work scenarios.

The accompanying AI-based receipt OCR feature allows users to upload images of paper receipts or external payment records, which the AI then reads to automatically recognize transaction information and link it to the voucher. This goes beyond simple manual entry or basic scanning by automatically handling account classification, journal entries, and voucher creation. It is expected to significantly reduce the burden of manually entering external payment records, such as personal payments or simplified receipts, where electronic collection is difficult.

For transactions where account classification is complex, such as entertainment expenses or business promotion expenses, the AI analyzes the transaction purpose and context to automatically recommend the appropriate account title. This minimizes the user's decision-making burden and input errors while enhancing the accuracy and consistency of accounting processes. Even sole proprietors or non-accounting professionals unfamiliar with voucher creation can easily use the system, effectively lowering the entry barrier for ERP usage.

Finger plans to further enhance the completeness of "Malmanhae AI" by applying an automated eligible document linkage feature within the first quarter. The company aims to achieve AI-based integrated automation from voucher creation to document management by automatically retrieving and attaching eligible documents such as electronic tax invoices and card slips.

Additionally, an automated year-end tax settlement feature will be launched. By uploading PDF files of year-end tax settlement data from the National Tax Service and deduction reports, users will be able to process the entire year-end tax settlement workflow within the ERP, from entering deduction items and calculating tax amounts to generating electronic filing documents.

An Inju, CEO of Finger, stated, "AI-based voucher automation is more than just a convenience feature; it is a technology that can fundamentally transform the way companies handle accounting tasks." He added, "We will continue to innovate our ERP with a focus on user convenience, automating repetitive tasks and evolving into a platform that supports management decision-making based on predictive analytics."
