Three-way matching in accounts payable

Three-way matching is the accounts payable control that checks three documents agree before an invoice is paid: the purchase order (what was ordered, at what price), the receiving report or packing slip (what actually arrived), and the vendor invoice (what you're being billed). If quantities and prices match within your tolerances, the invoice is approved for payment; if not, it's held as an exception.

Two-way, three-way and four-way matching

  • Two-way: invoice against purchase order. Common for services, where nothing is received.
  • Three-way: adds the receiving record, catching billing for goods that never arrived.
  • Four-way: adds an inspection record, for goods that must pass quality checks.

Why automate it

Matching by hand means pulling three documents for every invoice and comparing line by line. Automated matching reads the invoice, looks up the PO and receipt, compares them, and sends only the exceptions to a person. It catches overbilling and duplicate invoices and speeds up payment.

Tools for automated matching

  • ABBYY FlexiCapture for Invoices captures header and line-item data, and when connected to your order database, lets the operator open the matching purchase order and confirm the data during verification.
  • SimpleIndex reads PO numbers and totals from invoices and checks them against your database, which suits header-level matching for smaller AP departments.

See AP automation software for the whole process. Ask us how matching would work with your system, or call 865-637-8986.
