Purchase Order Matching with DocBits

Automated Invoice Matching for Maximum Control

Incorrect invoices, overpayments, and time-consuming manual checks cost companies valuable time and money every year.

With Purchase Order Matching in DocBits, you automate the comparison between invoices and purchase orders – precise, flexible, and fully integrated into your IDP-powered invoice processing.

But what makes intelligent PO matching truly efficient? And how does DocBits ensure full transparency in your validation process?

Why Automated PO Matching Is Essential

In modern automated invoice processing, capturing invoice data is not enough.

Invoices must:

  • Be matched against purchase orders
  • Be checked for quantity and price deviations
  • Prevent overpayments
  • Meet compliance requirements

A powerful purchase order matching solution significantly reduces manual effort while increasing financial control and process security.

Flexible Tolerances for Real-World Business Scenarios

In reality, invoices rarely match purchase orders 1:1. Suppliers may apply rounding differences or minor unit conversions.

That’s why DocBits allows configurable tolerances for:

  • Quantities
  • Unit prices
  • Freight, charges, or taxes

This flexibility prevents unnecessary escalations for minor deviations—without compromising control.

Three Intelligent Quantity Matching Logics

DocBits offers three quantity-based matching options:

This allows you to define exactly which quantity source should be used for matching—based on your ERP setup and business logic.

Automatic or Manual – You Stay in Control

The integrated PO matching screen provides a detailed and interactive workspace:

✔ Automatic matching of invoice and PO lines
✔ Comparison of item numbers, quantities, prices, and totals
✔ Manual drag-and-drop matching
✔ Immediate visual feedback

Clear Color Indicators for Full Transparency

🟢 Green – Full Match: All values align within defined tolerances.
🟠 Orange – Mismatch: A deviation is detected (e.g., quantity mismatch, price mismatch, item number mismatch, or multiple differences). A tooltip explains the exact reason instantly.

This allows your team to identify and resolve discrepancies immediately.
