Understanding Proof, Final and Suggest Modes
You can run the Voucher Match Automation UBE programs (R4304016, R4304020 and R4304021) in proof, final, or suggest mode.
When you run the programs in proof mode, the system:
Enables you to determine the matches proposed by the system by setting values in the supplier master record, setting processing options, and using data selection.
Enables you to view a report of the proposed matches.
Does not reserve the receipt records for the invoices.
All receipt records remain available to match to other invoice lines.
When you run the programs in suggest mode, the process:
Enables you to determine the suggested matches by setting values in the supplier master record, setting processing options, and using data selection.
Enables you to review the suggested matches in the Voucher Match Process Workbench program (P4314WB) and approve, reject, modify, and process matches suggested by the system.
When you process matches in the Voucher Match Process Workbench program, you create the final records using the same validations that the system uses when you run the Voucher Match Automation UBE programs in final mode. You can also run the Voucher Match Automation Driver UBE to process the suggestions that you approved in the workbench.
Reserves the receipt records for suggested matches.
If records are in use by the voucher match automation process, such as when a record is at a status of suggested, rejected, or approved, you cannot create other suggestions or matches for the records unless you clear the suggestion in the workbench. Clearing the suggestion releases the record reservation.
Enables you to view a report of the suggested matches.
When you run the programs in final mode, the process:
Enables you to determine the matches proposed by the system by setting values in the supplier master record, setting processing options, and using data selection.
Enables you to match receipt lines to invoice lines based on the matches that the process determines, and write records to the database tables.
Enables you to complete the match for approved suggestions.
