Deltek ComputerEase AP Automation & Purchase Orders

AP automation for Deltek ComputerEase is software that receives vendor invoices, matches them to Deltek ComputerEase purchase orders and delivery records, codes them to the right job and cost code, routes them for approval, and posts them into Deltek ComputerEase without manual data entry. Field Materials provides AP automation and purchase orders for Deltek ComputerEase, handling the work before a transaction reaches your accounting system.

‍

Deltek ComputerEase doesn't include AP automation, and it does not capture delivery records from the field or check invoice lines against received quantities. Field Materials adds that layer. Crews photograph packing slips on delivery, each invoice line is matched against both the Deltek ComputerEase purchase order and what actually arrived, and only verified, coded records post to Deltek ComputerEase.

Field Materials reads every line of the invoice, matches it to the Deltek ComputerEase purchase order, and applies the job, phase categories from that purchase order. Invoices with no PO are coded from the vendor's default or from past invoices, and a single invoice can be split across several cost codes or jobs. Project managers see committed and actual costs against the Deltek ComputerEase budget while the job is still running.

Yes -- Field Materials matches each invoice line against both the Deltek ComputerEase purchase order price and the quantity actually delivered. Field crews photograph packing slips in the mobile app, which creates the received-quantity record. Price and quantity discrepancies are flagged before the invoice posts to Deltek ComputerEase. This is a true three-way match, not a header-total check.

Yes. Field Materials supports connecting multiple companies within a single Deltek ComputerEase instance. You can assign users to specific Deltek ComputerEase companies, allowing each user to switch between the companies they have access to while working in Field Materials.

Yes. Field Materials controls who approves purchase orders and invoices before anything posts to Deltek ComputerEase, using role-based permissions and optional dollar thresholds.

‍Access control

• Assign roles to users (project manager, foreman, accountant, and so on)
• Assign users to projects to control access to specific jobs -- accountants, admins and purchasers have access to all jobs
• Control what each role can do within a job: edit orders, upload delivery slips and receive orders, review invoices, see prices

Purchase orders

• Up to 3 role-based approvers (Owner, PM, Purchaser) before orders go to vendors and export to Deltek ComputerEase
• Optional order amount thresholds -- for example, over $1,000 requires PM approval, over $10,000 requires owner approval

Invoices

• Role-based approvers (Owner, Accountant, PM) control who can approve invoices before they post to Deltek ComputerEase
• Optional invoice amount thresholds that notify the designated roles
• Optional maximum invoice amounts each role can approve

For both, approvers are notified by email, text and in-app, and Field Materials keeps an audit trail of who requested and who approved. Settings can be changed at any time.

• Custom default payment terms
• Whether invoices auto-export to Deltek ComputerEase on approval
