Route supplier documents to a reviewer who can check them

A useful starting point

An intake workflow can identify that a supplier document needs language review before its details are used. AI translation may help someone understand the subject, but it should not silently replace the original commercial document.

A worked example

For an illustrative delivery notice, retain the original file, detected language, order reference and assigned reviewer. A mixed-language document or uncertain detection should be labelled for checking. Keep numbers, units and dates visible alongside any draft translation.

Implementation and review

Use a reviewer roster with verified capabilities and availability. A controlled status field distinguishes translated draft from checked source interpretation. Test ambiguous decimal separators and a document with handwritten additions. The responsible buyer confirms the commercial meaning before updating an order.

Excel supports controlled input values. The business workflow is an implementation proposal. Microsoft: data validation

Measure the improvement

Track routing delays and corrections to translated fields. Include bilingual review time and any translation service costs. The useful outcome is a clearer handover to a qualified person. Compare it with setup and maintaining the reviewer roster.
