Purchase Invoice Approval -- Comparison to "Predecessor" PO

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3,494

Hi:

As we all know, you can create a new Purchase Invoice and (in its line items section) choose Line...Functions...Get Receipt Lines to pull in the line items from a received purchase order (PO).

And, if the invoice line item(s) have "changes" in terms of different cost or quantity from what was on the invoice's "predecessor" PO, you can make those changes on the invoice.

Let's say, however, that you have a purchase invoice workflow approval in place.  Further, let's say that a manager has to approve whether an invoice can be further processed after the changes as just discussed have been made to the line items.

Is it possible, then, for a workflow to compare changes to line items on an invoice to their corresponding line items on the "predecessor" purchase order?

Thanks!

John

    There is no such functionality available out of the box.

    Some 3.party solution are available that supports matching of PO lines against Invoice lines.

    Exflow is one of those solutions and i am sure there are several more that i do not know about.
