AP queue with bills matched to POs, three-quote rationale, and the next ACH pay-run preview.

Vendor records with W-9, COI, and contact on file. Purchase orders with three-quote workflows above your threshold (with the picked-quote rationale logged for audit). Bills arrive (paper or digital), match to POs, route through approval, and post to A/P. Pay by ACH from the AP queue. Year-end 1099 generation pulls from the same vendor records — no spreadsheet reconciliation.

Common questions

Vendors & POs — answered.

The questions we hear most when operators are evaluating this module. Anything specific to your industry, your state, or your existing vendor — we'll answer on the discovery call.

01 Do I have to use POs for everything? +
No. POs are optional — they kick in where you set the dollar threshold or where a category requires them (e.g. anything over $2,500 needs a PO; subcontractors always do). Below threshold, bills land directly in AP with the same approval flow.
02 How do bills get into the system? +
Four ways. Vendor emails the bill to a dedicated address that ingests it automatically. The team photographs a paper bill from their phone. The bookkeeper drags PDFs in. Or vendor portals (where supported) push bills via API. Whichever way it arrives, OCR pulls the vendor, amount, and date.
03 Does the 1099 module file for me, or just produce the forms? +
Both options. E-filing direct to the IRS is supported (we charge per filing — a few dollars each). If your CPA prefers to file, the forms generate in IRS-acceptable PDF and CSV for their workflow. Vendor copies email automatically when filed.
