- Process any financial document — invoice, bill, receipt, or purchase order — via MOVA OCR and human-in-the-loop approval. Trigger when the user shares a document image URL or asks to process, extract, or review a financial document. Always confirm before starting.

Contract Skill — A ready-to-use MOVA HITL workflow. Requires the openclaw-mova plugin.MOVA Invoice OCR & Approval
Submit a supplier invoice to MOVA for automated OCR extraction, risk validation, and a human decision gate — all with a tamper-proof audit trail.
What it does
- OCR extraction — extracts vendor, IBAN/BIC, line items, totals, VAT, PO reference
- Risk validation — checks for duplicate invoices, unknown vendors, IBAN changes, VAT mismatches
- Human decision gate — you choose: approve / reject / escalate / request info
- Audit receipt — every decision is signed, timestamped, and stored in an immutable compact journal
Requirements
Plugin: MOVA OpenClaw plugin must be installed in your OpenClaw workspace.
Data flows:
- Invoice image URL + extracted fields →
api.mova-lab.eu(MOVA platform, EU-hosted) - PO reference number → ERP connector (read-only lookup, no data stored)
- Audit journal → MOVA R2 storage, cryptographically signed
- No data is sent to third parties beyond the above
Quick start
Share any invoice image URL and say "process this invoice":
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mova-compact/mova-bridge/main/test_invoice_INV-2026-0441.pngThe agent submits it to MOVA, shows the extracted data with risk score and findings, then asks for your decision.
Demo
Step 1 — Task submitted with invoice image Step 1
Step 2 — AI analysis: vendor, line items, risk score 0.15, findings Step 2
Step 3 — Human decision gate Step 3
Step 4 — Audit receipt + compact journal Step 4
Why contract execution matters
A standard AI agent processes the invoice and tells you the result. MOVA does something different:
- Every action is gated — the agent cannot approve or reject without your explicit input
- Policy is enforced — IBAN changes, unknown vendors, and duplicate flags always route to human review, no exceptions
- Immutable audit trail — the compact journal records every event (OCR, validation, human decision) with cryptographic proof. When an auditor asks "who approved invoice INV-305B3FBF and why?" — the answer is already in the system with an exact timestamp and reason
- EU AI Act ready — high-risk financial decisions require human oversight and full explainability. MOVA provides both by design
What the user receives
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
| Extracted fields | Vendor, IBAN/BIC, Tax ID, line items, totals, VAT |
| PO match | Cross-referenced against ERP |
| Duplicate check | Detects re-submissions |
| OCR confidence | 0.0–1.0 accuracy score |
| Risk score | 0.0 (clean) – 1.0 (critical) |
| Anomaly flags | iban_change, unknown_vendor, duplicate, vat_mismatch |
| Findings | Structured list with severity codes |
| Decision options | approve / reject / escalate_accountant / request_info |
| Audit receipt ID | Permanent signed record of the AP decision |
| Compact journal | Full event log: OCR → validation → human decision |
When to trigger
Activate when the user shares an image URL of a financial document or asks to process / OCR / approve an invoice.
Before starting, confirm: "Submit this document to MOVA for OCR and approval?"
If no URL provided — ask once for a direct HTTPS image link.
Step 1 — Submit document
Call tool mova_hitl_start with:
file_url: the HTTPS URL of the document image
Step 2 — Show analysis and decision options
If status = "waiting_human" — show extracted data and ask user to choose:
- approve — process payment
- reject — notify vendor
- escalate_accountant — forward to accountant
- request_info — ask vendor for clarification
Call tool mova_hitl_decide with:
contract_id: from the response above (NOT the invoice number)option: chosen decisionreason: human reasoning
Step 3 — Show audit receipt
Call tool mova_hitl_audit with contract_id. Call tool mova_hitl_audit_compact with contract_id for the full signed event chain.
Connect your real OCR and ERP systems
By default MOVA uses a sandbox mock. To use your live document processing and ERP, register your endpoints — see the MOVA Connector Setup skill or call mova_list_connectors with keyword: "ocr".
Relevant connectors:
| Connector ID | What it covers |
|---|---|
connector.ocr.document_extract_v1 | Document OCR extraction |
connector.ocr.vision_llm_v1 | Vision LLM OCR (OpenRouter) |
connector.finance.duplicate_check_v1 | Duplicate invoice detection |
connector.tax.vat_validate_v1 | VAT number validation (VIES) |
connector.erp.invoice_post_v1 | ERP invoice posting / status update |
Call mova_register_connector with connector_id, endpoint, optional auth_header and auth_value.
Rules
- NEVER make HTTP requests manually
- NEVER invent or simulate results — if a tool call fails, show the exact error
- Use MOVA plugin tools directly (mova_hitl_start, mova_hitl_decide, etc.) — do NOT use exec or shell
- CONTRACT_ID comes from the mova_hitl_start response, not from the invoice number
