Document

For documents with the status READY a purchase document has already been created, but for documents with the status READY (No document) you must create a purchase document.

For documents with the status READY applies, that depending on which data the system has read from the received invoice, the purchase document will be generated differently.

  • If the lines have been read from the invoice then the purchase invoice will be generated with lines.

  • If no lines have been read from the invoice then the system will use the G/L account set on the header and create one single line on the G/L account.

  • If a G/L account has not been set then the system will use the Standard Vendor Purchase Code set on the header. This can create multiple lines on the purchase document.

  • If neither a G/L account or a Standard Vendor Purchase Code have been set, then the system will use the Document No. (from the document fields), which refers to the purchase order, and generate a purchase invoice and pick up the lines from the purchase order.

  • If none of the above data have been read, then a blank purchase invoice will be generated.

Amount difference between purchase document and invoice

If you get below warning when trying to send a document to approval, you must access the Purchase Document and correct the difference on the purchase document.

Amount differ warning

When a purchase invoice is matched to the purchase order then the lines of the order is copied to the invoice. If the total amount from the invoice differs from the amount on the order the most common reason is that the invoice includes costs such as freight or fees.

If the difference is caused by the cost price then the cost price can be edited if allowed in the settings. Otherwise the invoice must be sent as a notification to the responsible purchaser as he is the only person knowing the agreed price. When the purchaser has either received a credit memo from supplier or adjusted the cost price then the invoice can be sent in to flow again.

When editing the purchase document an Invoice Workflow Details view is visible in the right side of the window. Here you have an overview of values lifted from the scanned document to help you edit the purchase document.
