237I don't care about the 3 way match. What I am doing now is a 2 way match with a made up receipt being generated and calling it a 3 way match. I only care if the invoices referencing the PO do not exceed the budgeted amount of that PO.
For example, My company contracts to get something translated into foreign languages. The contract total is 50,000 so I make a PO for 50,000 units of translation services at $1 a piece. When the translation provider invoices 15,000 I make a product receipt for 15,000 translation units then enter the invoice for $15,000.
I don't care about the product receipt. I only care about the translation vendor not invoicing more than $50,000 for the work. How can I process a PO without a warehouse or receipt? I know I can reference a PO in the invoice register but it does not impact the PO balance/budget without a receipt.
The best idea I have is to make the acceptable variance from the invoice amount to the receipt extremely large so invoices can be processed with a receipt of zero.
The other idea I have is to run everything though a project budget. For example I would name a project "2014 office supplies" and create a budget for $24,000. I don't care when the supplies were received but so long as the amount paid for supplies in the year is not more than $24,000. Or I create a project "2014 computer purchases". I don't care what was ordered or when, just so long as the invoiced amount is not more than the budget.
I am aware of the receive now quantity screen. As I said before, I would like to avoid the concepts of receipts and units.
