The auto-approval process lets Ply automatically approve 3-Way Match line items that fall within tolerances you define, so you only need to review the exceptions.

Where to find it

Go to Settings → Automations to open the Automation Center.


Setting your tolerances

There are three tolerance levels you can configure. You can hover over the ⓘ icon next to each one for a quick description.

Quantity discrepancy

The difference between the quantity received and the quantity invoiced.

  • Anything under your threshold percentage is auto-approved

  • Anything over requires your review

Price discrepancy

The difference between the unit price on the purchase order and the unit price on the supplier invoice.

  • Anything under your threshold percentage is auto-approved

  • Anything over requires your review

Line value threshold

The maximum dollar amount an individual line item can reach and still be auto-approved.

  • Line items up to that amount are auto-approved

  • Anything exceeding it requires manual review


Turning it on

You don't have to use all three tolerances, you can leave any of them off if they don't apply to your workflow.

Once your tolerances are set, toggle on the auto-approval process. From there, head to your 3-Way Match to see it in action.
