Share

Illustration of SAP Three-Way Matching process—comparing Purchase Orders (PO), Goods Receipts (GR), and Invoices (IV) for seamless verification and fraud prevention.

Every year, businesses lose millions due to invoice mismatches, overpayments, and fraud. Manual verification is time-consuming and error-prone—but SAP Three-Way Matching solves this problem by automating invoice verification and ensuring accuracy at every step.

What is SAP Three-Way Matching?

SAP’s Three-Way Matching process compares:

Purchase Order (PO) – What was ordered
Goods Receipt (GR) – What was received
Invoice (IV) – What is being charged

If all three match → The invoice is approved for payment
If there’s a mismatch → SAP flags it for review and prevents incorrect payments

Why This Matters for Your Business

✔ Prevent Overpayments & Fraud
