In construction, accuracy isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s non-negotiable. One mistyped job code, one missed PO match, and suddenly your project’s on hold, your budget’s off, and your audit trail is a mess.
And yet, many construction accounting teams are still stuck in manual mode—relying on spreadsheets, inboxes, and memory to manage complex GL coding, job cost allocation, and supplier compliance.
It’s tedious. It’s error-prone. And worst of all, it slows everything down—right when projects need to move fast.
That’s where Transcepta comes in.
Our AP automation platform is built specifically for project-driven accounting—giving construction finance teams the accuracy, speed, and visibility they need to keep everything (and everyone) on track.
Why Construction Job Costing Is So Complicated
AP in construction isn’t like AP anywhere else. You’re dealing with:
- Dozens of active job sites
- Constantly shifting crews, subcontractors, and vendors
- Invoices tied to POs, cost codes, and compliance documentation
- Manual inputs and outdated systems that don’t talk to each other
Now layer in GL coding by project, phase, and cost center—and you’ve got a recipe for delays, disputes, and data inconsistencies.
Common breakdowns include:
- Job codes entered incorrectly—or missed entirely
- Invoices stalling while project managers clarify allocations
- Finance teams scrambling to reconcile mismatches across fragmented systems
- Lack of visibility across locations, workflows, and document status
When your field and finance teams are out of sync, you don’t just risk delays—you risk compliance issues and audit findings.
When Manual Processes Create Audit Nightmares
Let’s say an invoice dated December doesn’t show up until June. Under pressure to close the books, AP enters it and backdates it to December—without re-opening records or flagging the discrepancy.
Now you have three different dates across three systems:
- The invoice date from the supplier
- The processing date from AP
- The posting date in your GL
This inconsistency creates audit flags, inaccurate reports, and a whole lot of explaining.
Transcepta eliminates that chaos at the source.
- We capture both the invoice date and the date it was received
- Normalize data using configurable, consistent logic
- Route and post based on actual receipt—not unreliable invoice dates
Your job cost reports, general ledger, and AP data stay aligned, accurate, and audit-ready.
Built for POs: Match Invoices with Confidence Using CloudMatch™
In construction, PO-based workflows are the standard—and matching invoices to POs and receipts can be time-consuming and error-prone.
Transcepta’s CloudMatch™ automates 2- and 3-way matching, ensuring that invoices align with:
- Purchase orders
- Invoices
- Receipt of materials or services
No manual review. No bottlenecks. No mismatched line items. Just fast, accurate, line-level reconciliation that keeps your projects moving.
Take the Guesswork Out of GL Coding with CloudCode™
Transcepta CloudCode™ uses intelligent automation to eliminate manual GL coding:
- Remembers GL splits across multiple job sites
- Predicts job, phase, and cost codes based on historical entries
- Applies project-specific logic so invoices are coded correctly the first time
The result? No more chasing PMs. No more rework. Just clean, predictable data flowing straight into your ERP.
Stay Compliant with Automated Supplier Management
Chasing down W-9s, COIs, and vendor certifications? That’s time you shouldn’t have to spend.
With Transcepta’s Supplier Information Management (SIM) module, you can:
- Track W-9s, COIs, and other compliance docs
- Send automated reminders for expiring or missing paperwork
