Cimmra
Before any invoice is paid, three questions need answers: did we order this, did we receive it, and are we being charged what we agreed. Checking those by hand takes minutes per invoice when everything agrees and hours when it does not.
Cimmra compares the purchase order, the receipt, and the invoice automatically. Clean matches go straight through to payment approval without a human touch. Exceptions surface with a specific reason and route to the person who can resolve them.
OCR invoice capture
Scanned and PDF invoices are read by OCR and converted into digital records, so nothing is keyed in by hand.
Automated 2-way and 3-way matching
Quantities, rates, and totals compared across PO, GRN, and invoice automatically. Two-way matching covers service categories.
Exceptions with reasons
A failed match names the exact variance and routes to the PO owner with both documents side by side.
On-time payment
Straight-through processing shortens cycles from weeks to days, and payment-on-time rates climb. Suppliers notice.
How it works
- The invoice arrives linked to its PO, through the portal or captured on entry.
- Matching runs automatically against the PO and receipt.
- Clean matches proceed to payment approval untouched.
- Exceptions route to the right owner with the variance named.
Frequently asked questions
What match types are supported?
Three-way matching against PO, GRN, and invoice for goods, and two-way matching against PO and invoice for services where receipts do not apply.
What happens when an invoice does not match?
The exception states the specific reason, for example a rate variance on a line, and routes to the buyer who owns the PO with both documents side by side.
How do invoices enter the system?
Suppliers submit them through the portal against the PO, or they arrive as scans and PDFs that Cimmra reads by OCR and converts into digital records. Either way they land linked to the right order, with no manual keying.
Does the ERP remain the ledger of record?
Yes. Cimmra handles matching and approval workflow, then posts approved invoices to your ERP ready for the payment run.
