Determine when to pay a vendor bill with 3-way matching

In some industries, you may receive a bill from a vendor before receiving the ordered products. However, you might not want to pay it until the products have been received.

To define whether the vendor bill should be paid or not, you can use what we call 3-way matching. It refers to the comparaison of the information appearing on the Purchase Order, the Vendor Bill and the Receipt.

The 3-way matching helps you avoid paying incorrect or fraudulent vendor bills.
