This guide explains the key differences between purchase orders (POs) and invoices, and how Comfy Workers offers flexible options to match your company’s purchasing and billing processes for smoother financial management.

Key Takeaways:

POs control and track spend - Comfy Workers lets you book with, without, or always using a PO.
Invoices show what you owe, with flexible options like per booking or consolidated monthly bills.
Centralised billing simplifies reconciliation and gives clearer cost control.
Comfy Workers fits your workflow, reducing admin and aligning with how your teams operate.

Can I Book Multiple Stays on One Invoice or PO?

Yes, with Comfy Workers you can book multiple stays and receive just one invoice or assign them all under a single purchase order (PO). We provide flexible invoicing and PO options to fit how your business runs.

PO vs Invoice: What’s the Difference?

Before we get into it, it helps to recap the difference between POs and invoices first.

Purchase Orders (POs)

POs are internal tools used by your business to control and track what you buy.

You might create POs:

Per project or job
For specific milestones or phases
By region, division, or department
To align with how you invoice your own clients

Each business does this differently - so an accommodation solution needs to have flexibility to align to your business.

With Comfy Workers, you can:

Book with no PO,
Include a PO if you have one
Set it as mandatory on every booking

We’ll match our process to yours.

Invoices

Invoices come from us. They show what you’ve booked and what you need to pay.

Different suppliers invoice in different ways. For example:

Hotels may invoice per booking, per room, or send a consolidated statement
Invoices might be sent on check-out, weekly, or monthly

At Comfy Workers, we offer flexible invoicing options to suit you.

How Invoicing Works with Comfy Workers

By default:

Each booking generates one invoice
If a booking has multiple properties, they appear on one invoice
Invoices are issued monthly
If you’re eligible and signed up for payment terms, the invoice will reflect this

We also offer a billing profile (like a trade account)

All stays across the month appear on one consolidated invoice
You receive a monthly statement summarising all activity
PO numbers (if used) are matched to the relevant bookings

Much easier and more efficient way of booking accommodation

Being able to pay in 30 days helps us as a business as it avoids using a credit card, and for corporate accommodation it benefits us as it helps manage our cash for immediate operational needs. This is a much easier and more efficient way of booking accommodation.

When This Setup Is Useful

Centralised invoicing and PO control is ideal when:

You have multiple teams in different locations
You want to track spend by site or cost code
You need to reconcile quickly at month-end
You want to avoid dozens of hotel invoices, receipts and card payments

Who Benefits Most?

This flexibility is especially helpful for:

Finance Managers who want monthly summaries and streamlined workflows
Accounts Payable teams dealing with PO matching
Commercial or Project Leads monitoring project budgets and coordinating multiple accommodations

If you’re running projects across multiple sites, or want clearer cost control, this setup saves time.

Benefits of PO and Invoice Flexibility

Cleaner reconciliation
Simpler audits and approvals
More control over project spend
Less admin for office and finance teams

We don’t just accommodate teams. We accommodate how your business operates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Comfy Workers offer payment by bank transfer or credit/credit card. We also offer this with a range of payment terms; pay upfront, pay later (net 30 days) or a trade account.

We provide consolidated monthly invoices by booking, regardless of the number of properties. We also offer a trade account solution, which consolidates all bookings in the prior month on a single statement invoice. This reduces admin and improves spend visibility.
