Invoice Matching
Invoice matching verifies invoices against purchase orders and receipts to ensure accuracy before payment, preventing overpayments or fraud. Supporting 2-way and 3-way matching, systems auto-match invoices with expenses using intelligent rules, flagging mismatches for review. OCR technology extracts data from scanned invoices, and duplicate detection enhances accuracy. Customizable rules per vendor streamline processes, while integration with accounting systems ensures seamless data flow. Audit trails provide transparency, making invoice matching essential for financial control, compliance, and efficient expense management across businesses of all sizes.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is invoice matching?
Invoice matching is the process of comparing an invoice to related documents such as purchase orders (POs) and receipts to verify accuracy before approval and payment.
Why is invoice matching important in expense management?
It ensures that what’s billed aligns with what was ordered and received preventing overpayments, duplicate payments, or fraudulent charges.
What types of matching does your platform support?
We support 2-way (Invoice vs. PO) and 3-way matching (Invoice vs. PO vs. Receipt), with customizable workflows depending on your organization’s controls.
Can your system auto-match invoices with approved expenses?
Yes. Our platform uses intelligent rules to auto-match invoices against submitted and approved expense claims, saving time and reducing manual errors.
What happens if there’s a mismatch between invoice and expense?
The system flags mismatch for review and routes them to designated approvers with detailed discrepancy notifications.
Can we upload and match scanned or emailed invoices?
Absolutely. Our OCR-powered invoice capture feature can read invoice details from images or PDFs and match them automatically to expense data or POs.
Can invoice matching help detect duplicate submissions?
Yes. The system identifies duplicate invoice numbers, vendors, or amounts across different claims and flags them before processing.
Is invoice matching only for large companies?
Not at all. Any business that manages multiple purchases or recurring vendor payments benefits from automated invoice validation regardless of size.
Can invoice matching rules be customized per vendor?
Yes. You can define matching rules based on vendor behavior such as requiring 3-way match for high-value suppliers and 2-way for trusted vendors.
How does invoice matching reduce fraud?
By cross-verifying every invoice with actual orders and receipts, the system blocks false claims, inflated charges, or altered invoices from slipping through.
Does invoice matching integrate with accounting or ERP systems?
Yes. Matched and approved invoices can sync seamlessly with your accounting or ERP system (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks) for faster processing.
Can I audit invoice matching activity later?
Yes. The platform maintains a full audit trail showing who matched, approved, or flagged each invoice and when ensuring transparency and accountability.
