Leading Purchasing Management Software Firm Packs New Advantages Into Invoice Authorization Product

TORRANCE, Calif. -- Aestiva announced that Aestiva Invoice Approval - a standalone application for creating, approving, and managing invoice payment requests - now offers several new options to help companies save time and overhead and increase efficiency.

Aestiva Invoice Approval can now be extended to support sophisticated invoice matching and integration with external systems in order to automate three-way matching and similar payment controls. Matching can include comparisons against files, purchase orders, receivables, receiving data, inventory data, and other data such as credit card transaction data, including Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 type data. Matching can also be custom-integrated with additional external customer systems.

Aestiva also announced new options for automating approvals, such as approvals based on automatic matching of data against pre-approved invoices.
