Oracle® Retail Invoice Matching
Release Notes
Release 15.0.3
F18745-01
May 2019
This document highlights the major changes for Release 15.0.3 of Oracle Retail Invoice Matching.
Overview
Oracle Retail Invoice Matching (ReIM) supports the verification of merchandise invoice costs and quantities prior to payment. ReIM receives invoice data through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), or from invoices manually entered through a group or single invoice entry facility.
Invoice records are verified against associated receipts in an automated matching process. If invoices are matched to receipts within tolerance at a summary level, they are evaluated for best payment terms and posted to a staging table. The staging table is interfaced with the retailer's accounts payable system, where payments are processed and corresponding accounting entries are posted.
If invoices and receipts are not matched at the summary level after a specified period of time, the auto-matching process attempts to match at a line level within tolerance. If matches are not identified at the line level, the process calculates a cost or quantity discrepancy. The discrepancy is routed to defined user groups for resolution.
Discrepancies are resolved by applying reason codes based on a set of defined actions (for example, charge-back supplier) that determine disposition of the discrepancies. Discrepancies are routed out of the auto-match process. You can then begin manual identification of summary and detail level matches. The retailer can resolve line level discrepancies.
