Capabilities · Accounts payable
Accounts payable checked before the payment run
Matcher reconciles every invoice to its order, receipt and contract terms. Spend Guard screens duplicates, price drift and missed purchasing benefits, Entitlement recalculates vendor rebates and credits, and Journal prepares the accounting for your team to post. Nothing is paid or held without your approval.
Never writes to your systems · Zero-day scan · 100% coverage · Your team keeps the final say
01Where the work breaks
Where payables leak before and after the payment run
Payables runs on a payment-run rhythm, so problems are found after the money has left.
- 01
Matching by hand consumes skilled time and still only covers a sample
- 02
Tolerances get waived to keep the payment run moving, and nothing records why
- 03
Duplicate invoices, price drift and unclaimed vendor rebates surface after payment, if at all
- 04
Vendor knowledge lives in one person's head: who bills net of freight, whose surcharge is contractual
02How Rever works
How Rever runs accounts payable
Connect, build context and unlock value, then verify the outcome. The same shape as every Rever procedure.
- Step 01
Connect your systems
Link your ERP, purchase orders, receipts, invoices and vendor contracts. Rever reads through their APIs and works on its own copy. Nothing in your systems changes.
- Step 02
Run the zero-day scan
Eve maps vendors, terms and approval paths, then the zero-day scan checks open and paid invoices against their documents.
- Step 03
Agents work continuously
Matcher ties every invoice to its order and receipt, Spend Guard screens each payment run and Entitlement recalculates the rebates and credits due from vendors.
- Step 04
Approve from one Inbox
Exceptions arrive investigated, with the entry or correction prepared by Journal. Once you approve, journal entries come back as an import file your team loads and other corrections are prepared for your team to action. The outcome is verified against the source before it counts.
Illustrative data03What your team gets
Evidence you can follow. Decisions you keep.
Every invoice tied to its documents
Matcher checks amounts, quantities, rates, dates and identities across order, receipt, invoice and contract, then surfaces missing evidence and unexplained differences.
Duplicates and price drift caught before the payment run
Spend Guard screens each payment run for duplicate invoices and payments, unusual spend growth and price drift, and recommends supported corrections.
Vendor rebates and credits claimed
Entitlement recalculates what your purchasing has earned under contract, checks what has been received and assembles the claim for approval.
Journals prepared, posted by your team
Journal prepares supported entries, accruals and reversals, hands approved entries back as a file your team loads and checks the resulting records.

| Vendor rebates | Claimed if someone remembers | Recalculated and claimed with evidence |
| Exceptions | A queue of open questions | Investigated, with a prepared action |
| Posting | Manual entry | Prepared by Journal, loaded by your team after approval |

06FAQ
Questions about accounts payable
What does accounts payable automation mean with Rever?
Agents reconcile every in-scope invoice to its order, receipt and contract terms, screen each payment run for duplicates and price drift, claim the rebates and credits your purchasing has earned, and prepare the accounting. Your team decides from the Inbox.
How does the match work?
Matcher reconciles the related records across orders, fulfilment, invoices, payments and ledgers, checking amounts, quantities, rates, dates and identities. What does not tie out goes to Investigator, who establishes the cause and financial effect and recommends a correction.
Does Rever pay our vendors?
No. Rever prepares and checks, and your team makes every payment. Approved journal entries come back as an import file your team loads, with a record of what was decided and what happened next.
Will Rever change our source data?
No. Rever reads your ERP, bank and payment records through their APIs, keeps a working copy inside Rever (the shadow ledger) and does every check, reconciliation and calculation there, during the zero-day scan and after it. Your ERP stays the system of record.
What does a free Proof of Value show?
You connect your systems and Rever works on a limited period of your data, so you can see how it works on your own records before signing up. We walk through what was checked, the supported findings and their financial significance, and the actions required to pursue value.
What does 100% coverage mean?
Every in-scope transaction in the connected population is included in the relevant checks. Missing sources, documents and blocked procedures remain visible.
