Before You Begin
This 15-minute OBE shows you how to use two-way voucher match automation in Procurement. You can use Two-Way Voucher Match Automation process, to create vouchers for purchase orders in batch and application where no receipt records are required.
In this OBE, you will:
- Review open purchase orders and open invoices for a supplier. Run the Voucher Match Automation Driver UBE (R4304010) and set the processing option to run the Voucher Match Automation UBE for Automation Rule 07, 08, 09 (R4304017) in final mode.

Background
Starting with Release 25, for non-stock materials and services that do not require a receipt process, accounts payable simply matches the purchase order to the supplier invoice. Using the two-way voucher match automation process, the accounts payable team can compare the amount on the purchase order to the invoice. This feature helps the team to improve invoice processing time and reduce the number of exceptions that must be managed manually there by reducing labor cost.
Scenario
Let us consider a scenario in which, an asset management company requires services like electrical, plumbing, gardening, and so on from different vendors. One of the vendors upgraded the electrical system at different sites, and has sent us invoices. Using the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) functionality in JD Edwards, the invoice information is entered in to the JD Edwards database. As an accounts payable team member, you use the voucher match automation functionality to match the supplier invoice to open purchase order and create vouchers.
What Do You Need?
To perform the tasks in this OBE, you must have an open purchase order and invoice in the JD Edwards system to perform two-way voucher match.
