3 way matching is to compare three documents i.e.,
1. Purchase order
2. Receipt of Items/Packing slip
3. Invoice.
For example, if we Order for 50 Items in purchase order and received 40 Items only instead of 50 items. But we received invoice for 50 items. After comparing the three documents we pay for only 40 Items..

RE: 3 Way Matching

Quantity/Price Ordered should match with Quantity/Price Recieved and Billed is known as Three way match. If the Quantity received and billed is lesser than Qty Ordered is fine to proceed for payment it should not cross Qty Ordered in any circumstance.
