Distribution

Handle high-volume purchasing without growing your AP team.

Many suppliers, constant replenishment and tight margins. Verus checks every invoice against what you ordered and received, catches duplicates before they're paid and keeps due dates in front of you.

Where AP gets hard in distribution

The volume is the challenge: lots of invoices, lots of suppliers and very little slack.

Invoice volume that never lets up

Constant replenishment means a steady stream of invoices from many suppliers, each needing to be checked and coded.

Duplicates and re-sent invoices

Suppliers resend invoices and statements. Paying one twice is an easy mistake and an expensive one.

Short and over shipments

What the dock counted doesn't always match the PO or the invoice, and someone has to notice.

Due dates that sneak up

Late payments hurt supplier relationships and can cost you terms. Early ones tie up cash.

The distribution workflow

The same checks on every invoice, so volume doesn't mean shortcuts.

  1. Upload in bulkDrop in several invoices at once. Each original is stored first, so a slow read never loses a document.
  2. Catch duplicates up frontExact duplicate files are recognised. Likely duplicates are flagged for a manager to clear, with a reason.
  3. Verify and code fastSupplier defaults and past coding suggest the account. Check it against the original and press Verified.
  4. Match to the PO and receivingQuantity and price are checked against the PO and what was received. Short shipments and price differences are called out.
  5. Approve and enterApprovers act within their limits. Approved invoices become QuickBooks bills, and payments flow back.

Every invoice through the same checks

Verus runs each invoice through duplicate detection, price and quantity matching, and account coding. Clean matches move straight to approval. Anything that doesn't line up goes to a queue with the reason shown, so your team spends its time on the exceptions, not on re-checking the routine.

  • Exact and business duplicates flagged before approval
  • Price and quantity compared with the PO and receipts
  • Short shipments shown as quantity not yet received
  • Supplier-default accounts speed up repeat purchases
Invoices from many suppliers pass through a duplicate check, a price and quantity match and account coding. Clean matches are ready for approval and exceptions go to a needs-attention queue with the reason shown.

Stay ahead of due dates

The invoice inbox flags what is overdue, due today and due within the next seven days, with counts on each tab. Sort by due date and the next invoice to pay is always at the top.

Why it mattersPaying on time protects supplier relationships and your terms. Seeing what is coming a week out lets you plan cash instead of reacting.
Invoices grouped by due date into overdue, due today, next seven days and later, sorted so the next invoice to pay is always on top.

Connected to your books

Verus sits in front of your accounting system and hands it clean, approved bills.

QuickBooks Online sync

Approved invoices become QuickBooks bills automatically, linked to their purchase orders, with the original attached.

Payments flow back

Pay the bill in QuickBooks and the invoice shows as paid in Verus and archives itself.

CSV for other systems

Export one clean row per GL line, then record the reference once the bill is entered in your system.

Card statement reconciliation

Reconcile purchases made on company cards in the same workspace as your supplier invoices.
