3-way matching

How the Digital Assistant helps

Before paying any invoice, Accounts Payable(AP) matches what was ordered (with PO) to the goods received (via GRN) to what is being charged (Invoice).

The current process that has evolved over the years is very manual, paper-based and leads to delays and human errors. With Robotic Process Automation (RPA), this three-way matching can be automated removing this tedious work for the AP professionals.

This resulted in increased speed, was cheaper and reduced human errors.
