Exact Match of Invoice to Multiple Receipt Lines across Multiple Purchase Orders (Automation Rule 06)
When you run the Voucher Match Automation Driver program, that program runs the Voucher Match Automation UBE for Automation Rule 06 program (R4304021) to match invoices and receipts for invoice lines assigned automation rule 06.
When you use automation rule 06, each invoice line received from the supplier will be matched to multiple receipt lines, which can be on multiple purchase orders. The amounts must exactly match to these receipts; no tolerance or rounding issues may exist.
When you run the VMA process for invoice lines assigned automation rule 06, the process runs an algorithm that attempts to find matches between various combinations of receipt lines to match the invoice line amount. If the process does not find an exact match between the invoice line and one or more receipt lines, then the process skips to the next invoice line in the data set and begins the algorithm again.
The process performs a match when the open quantity on the purchase order is 0. The open quantity becomes 0 when you receive all the quantity or when you receive a partial quantity and close the remainder.
However, when you enable partial receipts in the supplier master, the system performs the match even if the purchase order is not closed.
This illustration shows how the process matches invoice, receipt and purchase order lines for invoice lines assigned automation rule 06:
