Our Company
Generate purchase orders electronically and route them quickly for approval.
Create, manage, track, and approve electronic POs—all within your AP Automation for Real Estate solution.
Enable team members to create an electronic PO effortlessly and route to the right stakeholders for quick sign off. Trigger special workflows if a purchase is over-budget or of a high-dollar amount.
Compare actual spend against budget, which is imported directly from your accounting system. Let users provide context on budget overages right on the PO itself.
Once the goods and services are delivered, flip the PO into an invoice right within your solution. The vendor's name, price, quantity, and ordered items will be auto-populated into the new invoice. Choose which line items to include.
Didn’t receive all the goods and services you ordered? No problem. Keep your PO open—and create an invoice just for the goods received. Include only the line items you want.
Set up your solution to automatically match an electronic PO to an invoice and a receipt, safeguarding your business against incorrect or fraudulent invoices.
Pull reports specifically related to your electronic purchase orders. For example, monitor if individual line items in a PO have been released, received, canceled, and/or invoiced, track POs by vendor, and/or pull purchasing summary reports.
Cut down on errors and all the back-and-forth. Centralize every purchase request and use a standard format.
Embed your vendors’ online catalogs into your AP Automation solution. Then, select items from your catalogs, create electronic purchase orders, and route POs for approval(s). Everything happens within the same system—using your workflow rules, pre-negotiated pricing and discounts, and purchasing guidelines.
Match invoices to your electronic POs, which can be generated right within your AP Automation solution. Perform two-way and three-way matching (PO-to invoice-to receipt) to guard against fraudulent invoices and payments.
Set up digital access controls and ensure employees have the correct invoice permissions tailored to their roles.
Easily add on these Bottomline solutions to work even more efficiently and securely.

Before using [Bottomline's] Purchase Orders and Catalog, spending was maintained on a spreadsheet, and there was no real workflow, if you will. Now it’s built into the system so when somebody tries to order something, the system knows, ‘O.K., this person is either not allowed to order that or, if they do order or try to order that stuff, it’s going to go to the next level,' depending on what we’ve set within [our account]. I would really recommend to companies that aren’t using Purchase Orders and/or the Catalog, to use both. It’s a win-win.
E-POs provide greater accountability and visibility into spend. They also lessen the likelihood of errors.
If you're interested in performing 2-way or 3-way matching to protect your organization from fraudulent invoices, e-POs can help. E-POs - offered as part of an AP automation platform - can be automatically checked against their corresponding invoices (for a 2-way match) or against their corresponding good receipts and invoices (for a 3-way match).
No. And you can always start small and require e-POs for just certain parts of your overall spend, such as for office supplies.
Yes, you can have distinct approval workflows for each. You can also set it up so that if an e-PO is approved, its corresponding invoice is automatically approved (if they are an exact match).
No. You can pick and choose which modules you need. Add on at any time.
