Invoice matching tolerance feature

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

I'm not sure if this is the right forum but we have recently implemented Business Central and I am disappointed to see that there is no tolerance feature when matching invoices to POs as I thought this was a basic feature.

Given that the system is meant to increase efficiency, there is nothing efficient about having to reopen a PO to adjust a line amount by a few pennies or pounds and resend for approval. I know one work around is to 'get receipt lines' when entering the invoice, but the document still needs to be sent for approval again as we are using workflows.

I understand that you can set these tolerances in Dynamics 365 Fin & Ops, so why not Business Central?  Are there any plans to introduce this feature down the line?

    Hi, Unfortunately, as several experts said above, this feature is not available in BC. And there is only Payment Tolerances feature in BC.

    Work with Payment Tolerances and Payment Discount Tolerances

    Hope this info helps.

    Thanks.

    I have customers complain about the same things. It should be possible to set a rule set that defines what should trigger the need for a new approval for incoming documents and other business documents.

    If you submit this as an idea to experience.dynamics.com/.../ then i will be the first one to vote for it.

    It’s a feature in Continia document capture. It has a lot of other good features and will certainly add other efficiencies. You can log it as an idea on the dynamics idea site. You can access it from the help and support area of BC - the question mark icon in the top right corner.

    With many ISVs creating supporting products Microsoft aren’t under as much pressure to make specific functionality standard.
