2&3-Way PO Matching

Matching invoices to purchase orders (POs) and receipts is a critical AP process to reduce risk. Matching item details line by line across documents is, however, time consuming and tedious. TRAILD's systematic 2&3-way matching fast tracks this process for you, eliminating hours of manual document chasing and checking.

See How Systematic Invoice Matching Works

By directly integrating with your ERP, TRAILD is able to extract and compare data from purchase order and receipt documents to streamline the matching process.

Invoice Line Item Matching

TRAILD automatically compares invoice line item data to other critical documents in your ERP, such as the PO and receipt or packing slip, enabling a faster and more accurate reconciliation of your AP records.

Auto Approve Matched Invoices

If the data matches between the invoice and the corresponding PO or receipt (or the variance falls within your business' accepted threshold) the invoice can be auto approved. Auto approving streamlines matched low-risk invoices and reduces the load on approvers.

Variance Exception Handling

Variances above your business' accepted threshold are flagged and can be automatically assigned to the correct approvers for further investigation and resolution. Systematic matching helps highlight and correct errors and mistakes before making payment.

Key Benefits of Systematic Invoice Matching

Saves Time

Matching invoices to POs and receipts is an important internal control, but when done manually, is very time consuming, with AP clerks searching for documents and then manually eyeballing each line item across 2 or 3 documents to compare and match. Systematic matching streamlines this process, eliminating hours of manual work per invoice matched.

Reduces Waste

Never overpay a supplier again with intuitive invoice matching flagging inaccurate invoices before payment. By systematically comparing supplier invoice amounts to goods receipts and POs, you can ensure your company only pays for what was received.

Eliminates Fraud

Matching invoices adds an extra layer of protection to business payments, with invoice data verified against POs and receipts, helping to reduce risks of fraud.
