Three-way matching workflow
Three-way matching before invoice approval
Compare what was ordered, invoiced and received. Upload the invoice, purchase order and goods receipt to review quantity, price and document differences before approval.
See when invoiced quantities exceed the delivery
Compare the same item across the invoice, purchase order and goods receipt. The result brings pairwise differences together for your review.

Business impact
Check what was ordered, received, and invoiced before payment.
Bring three documents into one exception review so the approver can see where the transaction does and does not agree.

Confirm the complete match
Check the invoice against both the purchase order and goods receipt.
02
Find the exception
Surface quantity, price, tax, supplier, and receipt differences before approval.

Decide whether to approve, correct, investigate, or hold the invoice.
What you receive
One review across all three documents.
