The control of comparing a supplier invoice against the related purchase order and goods receipt before approving payment, so a business pays only for what it ordered and received at the agreed price.
Payment Reconciliation
Matching payments received or made against the corresponding invoices and bank transactions, so the records of what is owed and owing stay accurate and discrepancies are caught quickly.
Deposit Invoice
An invoice requesting an upfront partial payment before goods or services are delivered. The deposit is later offset against the final invoice for the balance.
