Autonomous PO Matching

tl;drAutonomous PO matching is the automated verification that an invoice's line items, quantities, and pricing align with the corresponding purchase order and, where relevant, the goods-receipt record, carried out without a person manually checking each document against the others.

Traditional three-way matching is one of the most repetitive jobs in accounts payable, and one of the easiest to get wrong under time pressure. Autonomous matching checks every invoice against its PO and receipt automatically, and routes only the genuine mismatches, a price outside tolerance, a quantity that doesn't reconcile, to a person for a decision.
