Does the supplier see why an invoice is blocked?

Yes. If the invoice failed 3-way match, the portal shows the reason (e.g. price or quantity discrepancy), so the supplier can fix it quickly without e-mail exchanges.

Does it relate to DPO?

Yes. Payment visibility helps manage DPO (days payable outstanding): suppliers understand terms, and you optimise cash flow without harming the relationship.

What payment visibility means

Payment status visibility gives the supplier portal access to each invoice's stage: received, matching (3-way match), approved, scheduled for payment or paid — without calling or e-mailing.

Why it matters

Suppliers who can't see status constantly call accounting. Transparency cuts 'when will you pay me?' calls, improves the relationship and lets the supplier plan cash flow.

How Azuvio helps

The Azuvio supplier portal exposes invoice status synced with the ERP, including block reasons and scheduled date, drastically reducing manual requests to finance.
