Accounts Payable is a complex process by nature and your AP software needs to reflect this in its functionality. The ability to efficiently process invoices, particularly when they need to be split across multiple purchase orders (POs), is crucial for maintaining accurate financial records and properly attributing spend. This is where Kloo comes into play, expanding Certinia’s invoice management functionality to be able to split invoices across multiple Purchase Orders. 

Understanding the Challenge  

A single invoice can include charges for multiple different projects or departments, which were raised in different purchase orders. For instance, one invoice could include purchases of new IT equipment for two different departments, bought for different purposes and raised in separate POs. Each department has its own budget and tracking requirements. Similarly, an invoice for a construction project might need to be split across multiple POs corresponding to different phases or elements of the work, such as materials, labour, and consultancy fees. 

The Critical Role of Invoice Splitting  

The importance of accurately splitting invoices cannot be overstated. It's not just about allocating costs appropriately; it's about gaining clear insights into your financial performance. This process is essential for businesses to maintain control over their budgets, ensure compliance with financial regulations, and foster transparent relationships with suppliers.
