New purchase order automation from BILL
streamlines processes for Intuit QuickBooks Desktop customers
BILL (NYSE: BILL), a leading financial operations platform for
small and midsize businesses (SMBs), today announced automation
technology to help SMBs and accounting firms get better control and
visibility of their accounts payable (AP) workflows.
- SMBs and accountant customers of BILL using Intuit QuickBooks
Desktop software, including QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks
Premier, and QuickBooks Pro, now have the ability to view purchase
orders, as well as match and pay invoices in one workspace.
- Purchase order (PO) and receipt details can now be synced from
QuickBooks Desktop to BILL, so customers can track the progress and
status of POs, and automate two-way and three-way matching between
POs, receipts, and invoices to streamline AP processes.
“Small businesses and accountants move fast and want to focus on
growing and managing their businesses. To do this, they need tools
that can increase efficiency, and give them confidence in their
financial operations,” said Irana Wasti, Chief Product Officer of
BILL. “As a champion of SMBs, BILL is passionate about utilizing
innovative technology such as automation and AI to help small
businesses thrive. New purchase order capabilities from BILL will
deliver better visibility, greater accuracy, and faster matching to
help streamline financial workflows.”
Key benefits of purchase order automation capabilities from
BILL for QuickBooks Desktop include:
- Enhanced Control and Visibility: Customers can compare
PO, item receipt, and invoice details on one screen, then quickly
match and send bills into an automatic approval workflow to reduce
potential fraud or payment errors. This offers customers more
control over purchase-to-pay workflows by improving spend
visibility and ensuring spending is pre-approved.
- Greater Accuracy: When combined with BILL’s expanded
automation and AI capabilities, SMBs and accountants can save time
to make confident payment decisions. Manual errors are reduced by
utilizing automation and AI to auto-fill line items such as
quantity and cost information. This also automatically closes out
completed payments on fulfilled POs when synced from BILL to
QuickBooks Desktop, so customers can maintain accurate records in
their accounting system.
- Faster Matching: With PO and receipt details synced
directly from QuickBooks Desktop, customers can have a complete
view of PO, item receipt, and invoice details in one place. This
eliminates the need to switch between systems for two- and
three-way matching and reduces the back-and-forth communication
between PO creators, receiving teams, and AP teams.
“With the new purchase order capabilities from BILL, I will be
able to save time and streamline my AP process up to 33%,” said
Heather Humble, Controller of Humble Partners. “I will no longer
have to constantly move back and forth between BILL and QuickBooks
Desktop when syncing and matching POs, and will have more time to
focus on supporting my clients.”
These capabilities are now available to BILL customers using
QuickBooks Desktop software, including QuickBooks Enterprise,
QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Pro via BILL’s direct two-way
sync integration with QuickBooks Desktop, and were already
available for BILL customers using Oracle NetSuite. Learn more
