Combination Invoice Match (R03B50F)

You can use the Combination Invoice Match method to apply receipts to a specific combination of invoices. Depending on how the processing options are set, the system reviews up to a maximum of ten specified invoices, in multiple combinations, in an attempt to find a match. The system performs this type of match only once per receipt; if the algorithm does not locate a match for the number of invoices specified, it does not continue to the next group of invoices

Use the Match by Exclusion processing option to alter the performance of this method. Exclusion processing identifies the invoices that are not being paid, and then applies the receipt to the remaining invoices. This is useful when the receipt pays all but a few of the outstanding invoices. The system determines the difference between the receipt amount and the total account balance, and then attempts to find a combination match for the amount not being paid. If a match is found, the system applies the receipt to all invoices that are not part of the combination.

When using Match by Exclusion, consider sorting the invoices in descending order by invoice date so that the newest invoices enter the algorithm first.

(Release 9.2 Update) The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides record reservation capability within the Combination Invoice Match Batch Application (R03B50F).

Record Reservation errors are sent to the Work Center when some of the invoice pay items processed by the invoice matching routines are reserved by another process or user. Those invoice pay items are not considered for processing automatic receipts. To ensure that all applicable invoice pay items are processed, remove the reservation of the invoice pay items before executing the Automatic Receipt Processing program.

See Section 2.2,“Understanding Record Reservation (Release 9.2 Update)” for more information.
