SUPPLIER INVOICE & AP CONTROL

Focus finance effort on the invoices that need attention

Bring supplier invoices into one controlled intake, compare them with purchase orders and goods receipts, apply configured tolerance and route genuine discrepancies before governed AP release. Tally remains authoritative for posted accounting records.

Invoice Matching and AP Control workflow from governed intake through PO and GRN evidence, controlled matching, discrepancy review, AP approval and posting to Tally
  • Controlled invoice intake and extraction
  • Validation and duplicate protection
  • Two-way and three-way matching
  • Header, line and fuzzy matching

THE INVOICE CONTROL GAP

Routine invoices and genuine exceptions consume the same effort

Every invoice receives manual checking across PDF, PO, GRN, tax and supporting documents. Clean invoices and real exceptions enter the same process, while Finance chases Procurement and Receiving for context.

WHAT IT DOES
