# Understanding 3-Way Match Settings
### Abstract
*Real-Time 3-Way Match* is designed for companies using purchase orders in *NetSuite*. It ensures accuracy by comparing vendor bills' quantities, rates, and amounts against corresponding purchase orders and item receipts. This process introduces system-level controls that prevent overbilling or errors, reducing reliance on users to verify each bill manually. For example, if a vendor attempts to bill for a larger quantity than was ordered or received, *Real-Time 3-Way Match* helps flag that discrepancy before approval.
This article outlines how to access and begin configuring the *3-Way Match* settings in *NetSuite* after installation of the required bundle.
