Match Invoice Line to Purchase Order Line, Standard Tolerance Applied (Automation Rule 08)

When you run the Voucher Match Automation Driver program, that program runs the Voucher Match Automation UBE for Automation Rule 08 program (R4304017) to match invoices and purchase orders for invoice lines assigned automation rule 08.

When you use automation rule 08, each invoice line received from the supplier is matched to a single purchase order line. The amount of the invoice line and the order line can be different based on allowed standard tolerance limits. Prices are set, but can vary based on allowed standard tolerance limits.

When matching order lines to invoice lines, automation rule 08 applies the standard tolerance that you have set up for voucher matching in the Tolerance Rules program (P4322). You must specify in a processing option in the R4304017 program that you want to apply standard tolerance when matching invoice lines that are assigned automation rule 08.

The VMA process utilizes a tolerance to match invoice lines with orders, when the order amount is greater than the invoice amount. You can apply this tolerance only when you use automation rules 08. You specify this tolerance in a processing option in the Voucher Match Automation UBE for Automation Rule 08 program (R4304017).

This illustration shows how the process matches invoice and purchase order lines for invoice lines assigned automation rule 08:
