Post supplier invoices
Your payables software pulls each invoice off the supplier’s portal and matches every line to the purchase order.
- Who it’s for
- Accounts-payable software whose customers’ suppliers post invoices on a portal and never email them.
- Why it’s hard
- Few supplier portals offer an export, so each invoice is downloaded by hand. Boxwell billed PO-4471 on two invoices, so neither total matches the order alone.
- You get back
-
- Each new invoice, as the supplier’s PDF
- A line-by-line match against its purchase order
- Any price or quantity that differs, flagged
How it runs, in your product’s code
Every Monday, a computer opens each supplier’s portal and searches by purchase order. Boxwell shows invoices to account holders only, so someone in your customer’s finance team signs in. Each invoice’s lines are compared with the order’s quantities and prices. Invoices that agree turn to Ready to post, and the posting is left to your product.
