1Reason
A backorder, held and matched
A vendor bills the full order, but receiving logged part of it. The clerk matches each line to the PO and receipt, holds the rest, and updates the invoice once receiving confirms.
Clerked vs Brex
Brex runs cards, expenses and bill pay, and its bill pay reads emailed invoices, flags duplicates and syncs bills to your ERP.
Clerked’s AI clerks act on what’s wrong with a supplier invoice before anyone pays it, and update the invoice once someone answers.

2Reason
Vendor emails from live ERP data
An invoice arrives with no PO number. The clerk drafts the email asking the vendor for it from your live ERP data, and nothing goes out without your sign-off.
3Reason
Each question to its owner
A price above the PO goes to the buyer who agreed it, and an unusually large bill to whoever owns that spend. They answer from email, Slack, Teams or their phone, with no login.
4Reason
Memories you can read and edit
Before go-live, the clerks read your invoice history and keep memories like “this vendor bills by the case and we stock by the each.” Your team can read, edit or delete every one.
