How do you add purchase orders and approvals before Bill.com?
ProcureDesk puts purchase orders, approvals, and 3-way matching in front of Bill.com, so spend is controlled before the bill reaches payment. Approved, matched bills pass to Bill.com and payment status syncs back. ProcureDesk controls what gets spent; Bill.com pays it. Built for 100 to 500 employee teams already on Bill.com.

The GapWhat does Bill.com miss for purchasing?
There is no purchase order, no pre-approval, and no 3-way match before the invoice lands, so finance approves payments for purchases it never saw coming.
The cost: paying invoices you never pre-approved, no PO to match against, and no control before the commitment.
No control before the bill
Bill.com starts once the invoice already exists, after the money is committed.
No purchase orders or pre-approval
There is no PO or approval step before a vendor is contacted.
No 3-way match before payment
Nothing checks the invoice against a PO and receipt before it is paid.
How does ProcureDesk work with Bill.com?
One flow, from request to Bill.com — no double entry.
How ProcureDesk runs purchasing before it reaches Bill.com
The full purchase-to-pay flow happens in ProcureDesk. Bill.com stays your system of record.
Request
An employee raises a request from a punchout catalog (Amazon Business, Staples, Grainger) or a simple form, with no Bill.com login required.
Approve
Multi-level rules route the request by amount, category, and department; approvers act from email or the mobile app, and the budget is checked before the purchase is committed.
Issue the PO
The approved request becomes a purchase order and is sent to the vendor.
Receive the goods
The team confirms delivery, so short and partial shipments are caught early.
3-way match
Supplier invoices are captured with OCR at 99.5% accuracy and matched automatically against the PO and the receipt; any discrepancy is flagged before payment.
Sync to Bill.com
Approved bills post to Bill.com with GL codes and supporting documents; you pay from Bill.com, and the payment status syncs back to ProcureDesk.
What syncs between ProcureDesk and Bill.com?
Only fully approved, matched bills flow to Bill.com. ProcureDesk controls what gets approved; Bill.com handles the payment.
What does ProcureDesk add on top of Bill.com?
Bill.com alone vs Bill.com with ProcureDesk.
