Bad invoices should never enter your AP workflow.
Every inbound submission is screened the moment it arrives. Sanctions checks, your blocklist, and sender reputation run before anything reaches your inbox, and each rejection is logged for audit. It runs on every submission without you turning it on.

Vendor intelligence
Every submission builds vendor history.
Other systems store PDFs. Wrenbase Intake keeps a running record for each vendor: submission count, total billed, approval history, and blocked attempts. You always have the full picture of who sent what, when, and how it ended.

Common questions
Quick answers.
- What is Wrenbase Intake?
- One place your vendors send their bills. Instead of vendors emailing five different addresses or dropping PDFs into Slack, you give them one Intake link and every bill lands in your inbox.
- How do my vendors know where to send their bills?
- You share your Intake link with them once. It's a regular web link you can put in your email signature, your vendor onboarding pack, or the bottom of your contracts.
- What stops random people from sending me junk?
- Every submission is screened before it reaches your inbox. The screen combines sanctions checks, sender-reputation signals, and the rules you set, so most bots, throwaway addresses, and bad actors are caught before they get in. You control the gate too: keep a known-vendor list so only vendors you've added can submit, and require fields like PO number, due date, or a maximum amount. Anything that fails is blocked; everything else reaches you in seconds.
- Is there a per-submission fee?
- No. Receiving bills is free. You only pay for the operational features layered on top, like approvals and AI agents.
- Can vendors I already work with on Wrenbase use Intake?
- Yes, and it's even cleaner. When both sides are on Wrenbase, the bill shows up in your inbox already tied to that vendor's record, with their banking and history intact.
- Does Intake support purchase orders?
- Yes. Vendors enter a PO number on submission and it carries through into the bill record. You can also require POs so submissions without one bounce at the gate.
- How are incoming bills checked for fraud?
- Screening runs on every submission before it reaches your inbox, and you can also run a check by hand when you're deciding whether to approve a new sender. It weighs sanctions, your blocklist, and reputation signals, then gives you a clear read. See the Screening page for the full picture.
- Can incoming bills count against a project?
- Yes. Link a bill to a project and it lands in that project's spend, so job costs stay honest. Approvals and screening work the same either way.
