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

1. OCR extraction — extracts vendor, IBAN/BIC, line items, totals, VAT, PO reference
2. Risk validation — checks for duplicate invoices, unknown vendors, IBAN changes, VAT mismatches
3. Human decision gate — you choose: approve / reject / escalate / request info
4. 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.png

The 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 2 — AI analysis: vendor, line items, risk score 0.15, findings

Step 3 — Human decision gate

Step 4 — Audit receipt + compact journal

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

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 decision
• reason: 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:

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
