# How Do I Automate Reconciliation Between Purchase Orders and Receipts?

You automate this reconciliation by connecting each purchase order to its corresponding goods receipt, comparing ordered versus received quantities automatically. On **Jestor**, this runs through relational **tables** connecting orders and receipts.

Manually checking whether what arrived actually matches what was ordered, item by item, is slow work that gets skipped entirely when the receiving team is busy.

## What manual order-receipt reconciliation costs

- Time spent manually comparing ordered and received quantities line by line
- The check getting skipped entirely when the receiving team is under pressure
- Discrepancies going unnoticed until they surface later as a bigger problem
- No documented record of reconciliation for purchases that did get checked

## How automated order-receipt reconciliation works

- A purchase order and its receipt connect as related **records**
- The system compares ordered versus received quantities automatically
- A mismatch triggers a flag for review before the purchase is closed out
- Reconciliation happens the same way every time, regardless of workload

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic comparison removes the burden of manual line-by-line checking
- Consistency holds even when the receiving team is under time pressure
- Discrepancies surface immediately instead of becoming a later surprise
- This scales from a handful of monthly orders to a high-volume operation

| Manual reconciliation  | Automated comparison            |

| Skipped under pressure | Happens consistently every time |
