Compare purchase order, receipt and invoice by quantity, price, tax and total.

2-way matching compares purchase order and invoice; 3-way matching also includes goods or service receipt.

What it does

2-way matching compares purchase order and invoice; 3-way matching also includes goods or service receipt.

How to use it

Quantity, price, VAT and total tolerances determine whether a match is plausible. A unique exact PO reference can trigger matching automatically.

Controls and boundaries

A successful match documents evidence but does not automatically approve the invoice, posting or payment unless the configured approval workflow permits it.
