zoho-books-procure-to-pay
Purpose / 目的
Purchase Order、Bill、Vendor 見積依頼、支払前確認など Procure-to-Pay 業務を支援する。
When to use / 利用場面
- Use this skill for vendor-side Purchase Orders, vendor Bills, PO/bill matching, vendor invoice triage, supplier cost allocation, and vendor quote comparison after RFQ responses are received.
- Use this skill when
vendor invoice, purchase order, bill, PO, or vendor payment operations are central to the request.
When not to use / 使用しない場面
- Do not use for customer quotes, sales orders, or customer invoices; use
zoho-books-quote-to-cash.
- Do not use for contract signature routing; use
zoho-contract-lifecycle.
- Do not send vendor RFQ emails without approval; use
vendor-rfq-email-ops for the email draft.
Skill-specific procedure / 固有手順
- Determine whether the task is vendor RFQ, PO draft, bill draft, or PO/bill matching.
- Confirm vendor, project/customer allocation, item/account mapping, delivery/service period, and approval threshold.
- For PO: attach or reference vendor quote and produce approval packet before Zoho write.
- For Bill: compare vendor bill to PO/quote/receipt; flag amount, tax, date, and item mismatches.
- For vendor invoice ambiguity, prefer procure-to-pay over quote-to-cash.
Hard rules / 厳守ルール
- This skill is operational support, not legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice. 法務・税務・会計判断は必ず担当者または専門家承認を得る。
- Never send quotes, invoices, purchase orders, bills, RFQs, signature requests, or external emails without explicit human approval.
- Before writing to Zoho Books / Zoho Contracts through MCP or API, produce a draft and a change summary; require approval for create/update/send actions.
- Separate facts, assumptions, missing information, risks, and recommended next actions.
- Minimize personal/confidential data in outputs. Mask bank, tax, payment, and sensitive contract details unless needed for the task.
- Confirm market/entity context: US entity, Japanese parent/subsidiary, currency, tax treatment, payment terms, and approval authority.
- For Zoho product capabilities, API/MCP availability, pricing, and workflow behavior, verify against current official Zoho sources before asserting.
Procedure / 手順
- Intake — 顧客、案件、契約、見積、請求、ベンダー、金額、通貨、期日、承認者、関連 Zoho レコードを確認する。
- Classify workflow — Quote-to-Cash / Procure-to-Pay / Contract Lifecycle / Recurring Invoice / Acceptance のどれかに分類する。
- Retrieve context — Zoho MCP/API、既存テンプレート、過去案件、メール文面、契約テンプレートを参照する。取得できない情報は
Missing として列挙する。
- Draft only — Quote、SO、Invoice、PO、Bill、SOW、NDA、MSA、Acceptance Certificate、RFQ メール等はドラフトを作成し、変更点とリスクを添える。
- Control gates — 金額、支払条件、税、契約条項、顧客送付、署名依頼、会計計上、外部メールは承認ゲートを通す。
- Execute after approval — 承認後のみ Zoho やメールへ反映し、レコードID/URL/送信先/日時を監査ログへ残す。
- Follow-up — 入金・未署名・未承認・期限超過・作業完了請求などの次アクションを提示する。

Procure-to-Pay checklist
- Purchase Order: vendor, items, delivery/service period, project/customer allocation, approval authority.
- Bill: match bill to PO/vendor quote/receipt where applicable; flag mismatches before entry.
- Vendor quote request: use
vendor-rfq-email-ops; do not imply commitment before PO approval.
Output format example / 出力フォーマット例
Example: vendor bill matched to a PO before entry.
- Facts: Vendor "AWS reseller"; bill USD 3,200; PO-1008 USD 3,000.
- Assumption: Line-item scope identical — the variance is price, not quantity.
- Missing: Project/customer allocation, approver.
- Finding: Δ USD 200 over PO → flag before creating the Bill.
- Draft (not written): Bill payload held pending mismatch resolution and approval.
- Approval gates: amount mismatch · allocation · payment.
- Next actions: request allocation and the reason for Δ; route to approver; do not post until resolved.
Approval checklist (Procure-to-Pay)
Zoho payload example
Illustrative only; verify against the current Zoho Books API and mask sensitive detail. Hold (do not post) until the mismatch is resolved and approved.
