Three-way matching between purchase orders, goods received notes, and invoices is done manually in spreadsheets, consuming hours per week
Raw material price fluctuations make it difficult to maintain accurate bill of materials costings for finished goods pricing
Foreign currency invoices from overseas component suppliers require manual exchange rate lookups and reconciliation
Duplicate invoices from suppliers occasionally result in double payments that take weeks to identify and recover
