Order-Invoice Matching

On an Invoice Workflow document, you can specify a Document No.. If a Document No. is specified, Invoice Workflow will automatically find all receipt lines from that purchase order and add them to the created purchase invoice.

The Document No. can be entered manually or be lifted via a template field.

On the purchase invoice, it is possible to correct quantities and amounts to match the received invoiced.

When sending the document to approval and the feature has been enabled, Invoice Workflow will check the document against the tolerances that have been set. If an invoice fails any of the tolerance checks, it will be sent into the specified approval flow. However, if all checks succeed, then a log entry will be made stating that the invoice has been auto approved, with a reference to the order allowing the approval.

Order-Invoice Matching enables auto-approving invoices based on matching order receipts. The feature allows for a more streamlined flow of invoices, if purchase orders are used to start a purchase and create warehouse receipts.

Field	Description
Enable Order-Invoice Matching	Enables or disables the functionality.
Complete Order-Invoice Match Mandatory	Requires that amount and quantity for all lines match the created orders, regardless of any tolerances.
