Where documents stop disagreeing

Outcome Match is where documents stop disagreeing. Its flagship capability, N-Way Match™, takes the familiar discipline of 3-way AP matching — purchase order, invoice, and receiving documents — and generalizes it: match N sources against each other, whatever your process requires. N-Way Match™ is available now, included in the Professional tiers and above of Outcome Cloud™. It goes further than 3-way matching: N-Way Match™ checks a transaction against every source that defines it — the documents that govern it (the PO, receiving records, bill of lading/freight bills, change orders, contracts, and credit memos), the records in your line-of-business systems, and the data captured on an e-form submission — comparing quantities, prices, and terms across the full set. Clean matches flow through to approval and posting; exceptions surface with which source disagrees and how, so reviewers resolve discrepancies instead of re-performing the match.

The problem

Matching breaks down the moment a process outgrows three documents. A second receiving report, a change order, a freight invoice, a partial shipment — each extra document multiplies the manual reconciliation work and the places where errors hide. AP teams end up chasing paper instead of closing the books.

• • Match across sources — N-Way Match™ generalizes 3-way matching to PO + invoice + receiving docs + change orders + freight bills, checked together with line-of-business system records and e-form submissions, in one automated pass.
  • Catch discrepancies before they cost you — quantity, price, and total mismatches surface as exceptions, flagged to the exact source that disagrees and on what, with the full trail attached.
• Close the books faster — clean matches flow straight through to approval; only genuine exceptions need human eyes.

• Extend it your way — included in the Professional tiers and above of Outcome Cloud™, N-Way Match™ works with your Outcome Cloud™ workflows, Business Connectors™ (QuickBooks, and more), and business rules.

Proof point

This isn't theory: MaxxLogix already publishes a detailed 3-way-match guide for accounts payable and an interactive ROI calculator with sourced industry cost benchmarks (invoice processing costs, cycle-time data) so finance leaders can quantify the automation case before they buy.
