In construction procurement, reconciling material requisitions with actual deliveries and invoices is crucial to maintaining budget accuracy and preventing supply chain disruptions. Manual reconciliation processes are time-consuming, error-prone, and can delay project progress. Automating material requisition reconciliation through integrated ERP systems like Buildix streamlines procurement workflows, increases accuracy, and improves financial control for Canadian construction companies.
The Challenges of Manual Reconciliation
Manual reconciliation typically involves comparing purchase orders, delivery receipts, and invoices across multiple systems or paper documents. This process often leads to:
Data entry errors causing discrepancies
Delays in payment approvals and supplier settlements
Difficulty identifying short shipments or incorrect deliveries
Increased administrative overhead and reduced productivity
