Entering Purchase Order Matched Invoice Records in the Quick Invoices Window

When you enter a purchase order matched invoice record, the import process automatically creates invoice distributions for you based on your match. You can match to a purchase order receipt, and you can match to a purchase order at different levels: purchase order header, purchase order line, purchase order shipment, purchase order distribution.

Suggestion: When you are matching to a purchase order, also open the View PO window to have easy access to purchase order information.

Note: During import, the system does not check quantity or unit price tolerances. If the invoice exceeds the tolerances you have set in the Invoice Tolerances window, Payables applies a system hold on the invoice at Invoice Validation time.
