IDR Supplier Derivation in Email Subject
Derive the supplier on incoming invoices from the supplier number prefix in the email subject line using IDR. Suppliers derived in this way take precedence over the standard IDR supplier detection.
You can now easily improve the supplier recognition accuracy on non-PO invoices by instructing your suppliers to insert a valid Supplier Number within parentheses as a prefix in the email subject line.
