Learn how to use 3-Way Match from Amazon Business to help streamline the reconciliation process on desktop and mobile.

An introduction to 3-Way Match

Checking if your purchases match what you ordered, received, and were billed for can take a lot of valuable time. This common accounting process, known as three-way matching, helps make sure you only pay for items that arrive in good condition and match your order.

 

Amazon Business makes this easier by automatically connecting your purchase order, invoice, and delivery confirmation with 3-Way Match. This helps shave time off the reconciliation process and prevent payment errors. 

 

Want to check on orders while you're away from your desk? Use the Amazon Business mobile app to track deliveries and confirm receipts. Simply open the app and scan package barcodes when they arrive with your camera. This seamlessly brings together the PO, invoice, and reciept, right from your phone.

 

By automating this process, you'll spend less time on paperwork and more time on what matters to your business. Plus, with Amazon Business Analytics you can drill into the details to make smarter reporting decisions.
