Purchase Order approval but invoice amount is different

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 297
Hello
Typically all the purchase orders in our company are approved via a workflow. However we have many instances where the amounts that we get on the purchase invoice from the vendor can differ from the purchase order. It becomes quite a painful exercise to have to re-open the purchase order and re-submit for approval again. Sometimes these are only small amounts. Is there any way to set tolerances on this or is it always a customization if you wanted to set a tolerance? 
I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
     
    You should be able to accomplish this without any changes to the PO.
     
    1. Create a Purchase Order and receive on that PO:
     
    2. Create a Purchase Invoice manually (dont invoice from the PO) and use Get Receipt Lines to get those received lines:
     
    3. Change the Direct Unit Cost as needed. In my screenshot above its 1,172.70 and below I changed it to 1,100.72:
     
    Here is the posted invoice as a reference:
     
    Costs are automatically adjusted accordingly:
