Invoice reconciliation

Invoice reconciliation is the process of matching vendor invoices against purchase orders and receiving documents to verify that what was ordered, received, and billed all agree before payment.

Traditional three-way matching (PO → receipt → invoice) catches quantity and price discrepancies but misses the patterns that span multiple transactions — like a vendor whose prices creep up slowly across months, or bills split to dodge approval. Invoice Auditor complements reconciliation by reading across the full purchase history for each vendor and item, surfacing patterns that a single-invoice match won't reveal. It's not a replacement for reconciliation; it's the layer on top that catches what per-invoice review structurally can't see.
