Use this form to view, correct, and approve Accounts payable price and quantity matching discrepancies for posting. You can also view whether there are matching discrepancies for invoice totals and charges.

If the Show all lines (filter may apply) option is selected, the form displays all invoice lines for the invoice that is selected in the Vendor invoice form. If a filter was applied in the Vendor invoice form, that filter applies to the invoice lines in this form, also.

A check mark for amounts or percentages between the Invoice and Purchase order columns indicates that the amounts or percentages match. A warning icon indicates that there is a discrepancy between the amounts or percentages on the invoice compared with the expected amounts or percentages from the purchase order.

Invoice lines that are not for a purchase order are listed first in the form. Net unit price matching and price totals matching do not apply to these lines, because the lines are not associated with purchase order lines. If your legal entity uses invoice totals matching, the value of the line is typically included in the calculations for that type of matching. However, if no lines on the invoice are for purchase order lines, the value of the lines is not included. If your legal entity uses charges matching, charges for invoice lines that are not for a purchase order are not included in the matching calculation.

If the invoice was processed through workflow, invoice matching calculations might have already been performed. You can use this form to view the results of these calculations.

Note

This form is available only if the Enable invoice matching validation field in the Accounts payable parameters form is selected. If you open the form from the Vendor invoice form, Unposted matched invoices - invoice: %1, %2 form, or History on update form, you cannot modify the information in this form.

Description

Match variance

If a check mark is displayed, the variance is within allowable tolerances for all the kinds of invoice matching that apply to the invoice line.

  • Two-way, price totals invoice matching – The variance between the cumulative invoice price total and the purchase order price total must be within allowable tolerances for lines on the invoice.

  • Three-way, price totals invoice matching – The variance between the cumulative invoice price total and the purchase order price total must be within allowable tolerances for lines on the invoice. Also, the invoice quantity and the product receipt quantity must be equal for all lines on the invoice.

  • Two-way, net unit price invoice matching – The variance between the invoice net unit price and the purchase order net unit price must be within allowable tolerances for lines on the invoice.

  • Three-way, net unit price invoice matching – The variance between the invoice net unit price and the purchase order net unit price must be within allowable tolerances for lines on the invoice. Also, the invoice quantity and the product receipt quantity must be equal for all lines on the invoice.

A warning icon is displayed if there is a matching discrepancy; that is, if the price variance exceeds the allowable tolerance, or if the invoice quantity and product receipt quantity are different.

This field is blank if Not required is selected in the Line matching policy field in the Accounts payable parameters form, or if the invoice line is not for a purchase order line.

Line number

The line number of the order line. The line number identifies the position of the order line in the list of order lines.

Item number

The identifier of the item on the invoice line.

Procurement category

The procurement category that is associated with the item, if an item is specified. If an item is not specified, the combination of the procurement category and the associated text is the identifier for the line.

Text

A description of the category that is associated with the item, if an item is specified. If an item is not specified, the combination of the procurement category and the associated text is the identifier for the line.

Line matching policy

The type of invoice matching that applies to the invoice line.

  • Not required – No price or quantity matching is performed.

  • Two-way matching – Match the price information on the purchase order to the price information on the invoice.

  • Three-way matching – Match the price information on the purchase order to the price information on the invoice. Also match the quantity information on the selected product receipt to the quantity information on the invoice.

Quantity

The quantity that is invoiced, in purchase units.

Invoice unit price

The actual purchase price per price unit that is associated with the invoice.

PO unit price

The expected purchase price per price unit that is associated with the purchase order.

If the line is not for a purchase order line, this field is blank.

Invoice net amount

The actual net invoice line amount. This includes discounts.

Expected net amount

The expected net line amount for the purchase order.

If the line is not for a purchase order line, this field is blank.

Price variance

The difference between the purchase order net unit price and the invoice net unit price for the invoice line quantity.

If the line is not for a purchase order line, this field is blank.

Unmatched purchase price total

The difference between the purchase order price total and the cumulative invoice price total for the invoice line, in the currency of the transaction. Typically, the unmatched purchase price total includes the invoice line that you are working with plus any posted and on-hold invoices for the same purchase order line.

This field is not displayed if None is selected in the Match price totals field in the Accounts payable parameters form.

Unit price variance percentage

The percentage variance between the invoice net unit price and the purchase order net unit price.

If the line is not for a purchase order line, this field is blank.

Unit price tolerance percentage

The percentage variance that is acceptable between the invoice net unit price and the purchase order net unit price. A matching discrepancy exists if the unit price variance percentage exceeds this percentage.

If the line is not for a purchase order line, this field is blank.

Unmatched purchase price total percentage

The percentage variance between the invoice price total and the purchase order price total. The unmatched purchase price total percentage includes the invoice line that you are working with plus any posted and pending invoices for the same purchase order line.

Note

A positive percentage indicates that you will pay more than expected. A negative percentage indicates that you will pay less than expected.

If the value in the Expected net amount field is negative, the unmatched purchase price total percentage is the expected net amount minus the total of the net amount of the invoice that you are working with, plus the net amount of posted and pending invoices for the purchase order line, divided by the expected net amount. The result is multiplied by 100.

If the value in the Expected net amount field is positive, the unmatched purchase price total percentage is the expected net amount plus the total of the net amount of the invoice that you are working with, plus the net amount of posted and pending invoices for the purchase order line, minus the expected net amount, divided by the expected net amount. The result is multiplied by 100.

If the expected net amount for the purchase order is zero and the invoice price total is a negative value, -999,999,999.99% is displayed.

If the expected net amount for the purchase order is zero and the invoice price total is a positive value, 999,999,999.99% is displayed.

This field is not displayed if None or Amount is selected in the Match price totals field in the Accounts payable parameters form.

Purchase price total tolerance percent

The percentage variance that is acceptable between the invoice price total and the purchase order price total. A matching discrepancy exists if the unmatched purchase price total percentage exceeds this percentage.

This field is not displayed if None or Amount is selected in the Match price totals field in the Accounts payable parameters form.

Unmatched purchase price total in accounting currency

The amount of the variance between the cumulative invoice price total and the purchase order price total, in the accounting currency. The invoice price total includes the invoice line that you are working with plus any posted and pending invoices for the same purchase order.

The calculation to the accounting currency uses the exchange rate for the invoice that you are currently working with for the invoice price total. The exchange rate for the purchase order is used for the purchase order price total. The calculation uses the exchange rate as of the date that the purchase order line was created.

This field is not displayed if None or Percentage is selected in the Match price totals field in the Accounts payable parameters form.

Purchase price total tolerance

The amount of variance that is acceptable between the invoice price total and the purchase order price total. A matching discrepancy exists if the unmatched purchase price total in accounting currency amount exceeds this percentage.
