What is two-way matching?

Two-way matching checks an invoice against its purchase order before payment: same items, same quantities, same prices. If the two agree, the invoice clears. It is the lighter cousin of three-way matching, which adds a receiving report to confirm the goods showed up.

When two-way is enough

Two-way matching fits services and anything with no physical delivery to receive against: a monthly retainer, a software subscription, a consulting fee. There is no shipment to inspect, so the purchase order and the invoice are the whole story.

Why the numbers have to be right

A match is only as good as the invoice data behind it. Mis-read the total or a line item and the check passes on a wrong number. InvoiceJet extracts those fields with a confidence level and a source citation, so you match against verified figures.

Common questions

Two-way or three-way?

Three-way for physical goods you receive; two-way for services and anything without a delivery step. Plenty of teams run both and pick per vendor.
