Enter Document Groups

Invoices can be loaded through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), group entry, or single invoice entry. In the Group Entry window, you can manually enter merchandise invoices, non-merchandise invoices, and credit notes.

When you enter document groups, you can define default criteria that apply to multiple invoices. Alternatively, you can enter invoices without applying default information. After you have entered all the invoices in the group, the control quantity should match the calculated quantity, and the control cost should match the calculated cost of the documents you have entered. When the totals match, you can submit the group for approval. After the group is approved, you can begin matching the invoices.

This section includes the following document group instructions:

EDI Uploads

Invoices can be loaded through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), group entry, and single invoice entry. The majority of invoices are sent to Invoice Matching through EDI. When the data on the invoices can be verified, the invoices are ready to match. If the data cannot be verified, you must manually correct the inaccurate data on each invoice.

In the EDI Maintenance window, you can update invoice data for invoices that were uploaded with inaccurate data. You can correct the invoices one at a time, or you can correct the order number or item number on multiple invoices. If you correct the order number or item number for all invoices, all invoices with the old value are updated with the new value.

This section includes the following EDI instructions:

Split Invoices

The parent invoice windows allow you take an invoice with multiple locations and simplify the invoice by splitting it into multiple invoices, each for a single location. An invoice with multiple locations (a parent invoice) cannot begin any matching process until it is split out into the single locations (child invoices). When you are splitting an invoice with multiple locations, you must assign the total cost and total quantity to the single locations before you can save your changes.

This section includes the following invoice splitting instructions:
