OpenGov Accounts Payable automates invoice processing, approval routing and general ledger posting for government finance teams. Configurable checks compare invoices with purchase orders, budget availability and duplicate records before approval. Its centralized vendor database stores contracts, W-9s, purchase histories and 1099 data; those records and payment histories can be used to produce 1099 forms. Each invoice has a timestamped audit trail from intake through payment, with read-only access for auditors. Department staff can submit and track invoices in approved accounts, with role-based access, budget validation and configurable approval routes. The product connects with Requisitions, the General Ledger, Financial Reporting and vendor management, and supports payment execution and purchase-order matching. OpenGov lists AI invoice capture, automatic three-way matching and live budget validation among its Accounts Payable capabilities. The product is available through web and API, with open APIs described for third-party connections where needed. It serves public agencies including cities, counties, special districts, utilities and state agencies. Pricing is on request; the product page invites prospective customers to request a demo.
