Thank you for your input! It's great to hear that you find M3 easy to navigate and understand, with a good layout that supports your needs. A user-friendly design is always a top priority, so we're glad it’s working well for you overall. We also hear your frustration about the dropdown menu issue with "make a selection." Having to repeatedly attempt selecting the right entity can definitely interrupt workflow, and refining this functionality could make the experience smoother. Pricing and imaging issues are also noted—your feedback on these aspects is invaluable for driving improvements. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts!

Thank you for sharing your experience with M3! It's great to hear that features like easy access to accounts payable history and detailed invoice visibility are supporting your operations effectively.

Enhancing the document upload experience and introducing functionality to accrue accounts payable in a batch could indeed save time and reduce repetitive work. These suggestions will certainly be noted as we continue evolving the platform to better serve your needs.
