Use Case

Invoices matched to the order and the delivery, line by line.

Atlantas checks each line against the purchase order and what was received, within the tolerances you set.

The problem

What breaks today.

Part deliveries, price changes and credit notes make three-way matching a manual slog. Mismatches get spotted after payment, or not at all.

Sound familiar? Here’s what changes.

How Atlantas handles it

What changes.

Atlantas matches every line to what is still outstanding on the order, flags price and quantity variances, and builds the draft from the receipt lines.

  1. Matches each line to the order and the goods received.
  2. Nets part deliveries against what’s still outstanding.
  3. Flags price and quantity variances outside your tolerances.
  4. Blocks an invoice whose currency differs from the order.

Example

What it looks like in practice.

An illustrative example with fictional names and figures. It shows Atlantas collecting what it needs before it acts, and handing the decisions back to your team.

Part delivery netted: 40 pipes still outstanding on the order. The price variance is outside your 2% tolerance, so it goes to a person.
