Example: Combination Invoice Match

This example illustrates how the system uses the combination invoice match algorithm to apply receipts to combinations of invoices. The processing options on the Performance tab specify Invoice Review Limit is equal to 6 and Invoice Combination Limit is equal to 3.

Invoice Number

Amount

122

100.00

123

200.00

124

450.00

125

50.00

126

100.00

If you have a receipt for the total amount of 700.00, the system begins looking at the first invoice and attempts to match invoices in this order:

Invoice Number

Amount

Match

122

100.00

No match

123

200.00

No match

123 + 122

300.00

No match

124

450.00

No match

124 + 122

550.00

No match

124 + 123

650.00

No match

124 + 122 + 123

750.00

No match

125

50.00

No match

125 + 122

150.00

No match

125 + 123

250.00

No match

125 + 122 + 123

350.00

No match

125 + 124

500.00

No match

125 + 124 + 122

600.00

No match

125+ 124 + 123

700.00

Match

Processing options for this algorithm enable you to specify a maximum of ten invoices in combinations that include up to ten invoices.

Important: This process is time-consuming. It is recommended that you use the combination invoice match algorithm at the end of an execution list, after you have attempted all other options for matching invoices and receipts.
