Vendor Bill Exception Criteria
SuiteApprovals checks the vendor bill for discrepancies before it is processed for payment. The system checks the bill against a specific set of exceptions to determine if it requires approval.
Take note of the following information when working with vendor bill exception criteria:
-
If you've enabled the Bill in Advance of Receipt preference in your account but no item receipt is attached to a vendor bill, the vendor bill still goes through exception checking.
-
If you've enabled the Bill in Advance of Receipt preference in your account and attached an item receipt to a vendor bill, the system doesn't run exception checking against the item receipt.
-
If you are routing stand-alone vendor bills, make sure you've enabled the Purchase Orders and Advanced Receiving features. For more information, see Setting Up Prerequisites for Supported Record Types.
-
When you submit a vendor bill for approval, click Show Exceptions to see the exceptions identified on the record.
-
When the vendor bill is approved, you can process the transaction for payment. For more information, see Vendor Payments Overview.
