A “three-way match” is a term used to describe the relationship between a purchase order document raised by a buyer, an invoice document received from a supplier, and delivery information recorded upon receiving a shipment. In situations where delivery information isn’t recorded, the term is referred to as a “two-way match” between the purchase order and the invoice. The three-way match is a verification process used to ensure that what was ordered, what was received, and what was paid for align correctly to avoid overpaying. On Tradogram, purchase orders, invoices, and delivery records are always linked to one another, providing a straightforward approach to verifying a three-way match.
