PO creation
Approval workflow
Vendor tracking
Budget control

Purchase orders bring discipline to your spending. Instead of team members buying whatever they need and hoping the budget covers it, POs create an approval checkpoint before money is committed. FiscalInsights makes creating and managing purchase orders simple—generate a PO, route it for approval, send it to the vendor, and track it through fulfillment and payment.

The approval workflow ensures nothing slips through. Set approval thresholds by amount, category, or department. When someone creates a PO, it routes automatically to the right approver. Approved POs commit budget, so you always know how much of your budget is allocated versus available—preventing overspending before it happens, not after.

Vendor tracking connects POs to the rest of your procurement workflow. When a bill arrives from a vendor, FiscalInsights matches it against the open PO. If the amount matches, it's ready for payment. If there's a discrepancy, it's flagged for review. This three-way matching (PO, receipt, bill) is a fundamental financial control that prevents duplicate payments and vendor billing errors.

How It Works

1Create a purchase order specifying the vendor, items, quantities, and amounts.
2The PO routes through your configured approval workflow based on amount and category.
3Once approved, send the PO to the vendor directly from FiscalInsights.
4When the vendor's bill arrives, FiscalInsights matches it against the PO for three-way matching.
5Track PO status (open, partially fulfilled, complete) and budget commitment in real-time.
