Match Status 'Passed' even after no PR posting

Posted on by Vipul Behl

Hey,

I have a PO where I am straight away going to Invoice it without creating the PR. The match status is showing as 'passed'.

The Invoice matching policy is 3 way matching. Shouldn't it show as failed as I haven't posted a PR ? I am not even overriding the policy at the PO invoice line ?

Thanks

Vipul

Dynamics has always been able to shortcut processes to invoice if it is possible. My guess would be that it assumed whatever was on the purchase order as what as happened. Both quantity and cost matched since no intermediate step told it otherwise.

Did the inventory transactions look ok?

Hi Vipul Behl,

Can you provide some additional information on how you setup your 3 way matching policy? Probably there is an exception specified or the policy is not enforced?!

Have you actually tried posting the PO invoice? If so, did it work?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig and Conrad,

The invoice validation is set to 'Three Way Matching'. I don't think so there is an exception specified .

Please find the screen below .

I did try posting the invoice but it didn't post because of the error "the quantity was 0" since there was no no PR.

After posting the PR - the invoice got posted.

HI Vipul Behl,

You have setup a 3-way matching policy for your complete company.

This policy can be overruled for specific vendors, items and combinations thereof in the Accounts payable/Setup/Invoice matching/Matching policy form.

So, if you do not want to post the PR for specific vendors/items, please overrule the company rule that you specified in the parameters.

Another thing that you should check are your item model groups and whether there is a receiving requirement setup there, which prevents you from directly posting the invoice.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,

Thank you for email. I checked the matching policy form and there is no rule mentioned there.

The item model group page says that the PR receipt is not mandatory as I haven't checked the 'Picking Requirements' checkbox.

The issue is still after all these setups the condition is overruled somehow ?

Hi Hi Vipul Behl,

What have you selected in the 'Default quantity for lines' field of the invoice form?

Are your items linked to procurement categories and do you have some category policies setup that enforce posting the packing slip first?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Vipul / Ludwig

Was there any result to this? I am seeing similar behaviour in that I can create an invoice and enter only a vendor ID and select update match status and it will change to passed. Workflow and posting does not allow if there are no lines but I can enter a line with no PO identified and this will be passed and will post.

The invoice header says match status has passed, the lines say not performed and that matching is not required
