Cortena AI agents for accounts payable (invoice capture, line-level coding, entity routing, booking and payment-run preparation)

What it does

Cortena (Cortena B.V., Amsterdam) describes itself as an 'AI operator for accounts payable' for European SME finance teams, finance professionals and accounting firms. Its homepage says 'Agents that follow your rules, on a flow you shape' and shows an agent activity log in which a new invoice is found in the mailbox, routed to an entity, supplier and payment details and line items are extracted, booking accounts, VAT codes and cost centres are assigned, and the booking is prepared; booking-ready batches go straight into DATEV Rechnungswesen, DATEV Unternehmen Online, Exact Online or Twinfield (and coded invoices can be transmitted to Greece's AADE myDATA). The AI coding page says its agents automate complex cost-centre and cost-carrier allocations consistently across entities, following the patterns already set in the books (chart of accounts such as SKR04, mapped VAT codes, booking history). A Workflow Builder 'directs the agents' and defines the path each invoice takes. The payments page says Cortena does not transfer funds: it prepares payment runs, validating the supplier VAT ID against VIES and the IBAN's existence and reconciling line totals, queues ready invoices and skips incomplete ones, and hands off a SEPA file or a treasury/accounting tool. Bank reconciliation (Yapily feeds or CAMT/MT940 upload) uses configurable matching logic 'with Cortena's agents and workflows'. A GoBD-aligned audit trail records each step, and approvals follow the customer's approval matrix. An MCP server ('Ask Cortena') lets ChatGPT or Claude query payables; that Q&A layer is not the listed capability. Pricing is a tailored quote by invoice volume, entities and stack.
