FIN-1 — Capex Control Assistant.

AI reads PO descriptions to classify each capex cost line per NAS at WBS level (with rationale), proposes allocation of shared costs, pre-fills the FA Control Form and sends it to Controllers for sign-off; monthly asset, useful-life and audit-risk flags plus on-demand audit extracts – aiming for capex correctly classified per NAS and every asset audit-ready across all factories. Today: - Many WBS cost lines are checked by hand; each cost's nature is read manually from PO descriptions and mapped to NAS asset categories – slow and person-dependent. - POs, GRs, allocation files, FACFs and sign-offs sit in different places, so audit packs take time to compile; settlement points to correct are found late.

- Faster settlement and consistent NAS classification – measured by WBS cost lines classified correctly per NAS at first pass. - Risks caught early; audit-ready anytime. - Consistent NAS & VAS book control.
