Exact Match of Invoice Line Amounts to One or More Purchase Order Lines (Automation Rule 09)

When you run the Voucher Match Automation Driver program, that program runs the Voucher Match Automation UBE for Automation Rule 09 program (R4304017) to match invoices and purchase orders for invoice lines assigned automation rule 09.

When you use automation rule 09, each invoice line received from the supplier is matched to multiple purchase order lines. The amounts must exactly match to these orders; no tolerance or rounding issues may exist.

When you run the VMA process for invoice lines assigned automation rule 09, the process runs an algorithm that attempts to find matches between various combinations of purchase order lines to match the invoice line amount. If the process does not find an exact match between the invoice line and one or more order lines, then the process skips to the next invoice line in the data set and begins the algorithm again.
