Reviewing Converted Inbound E-Documents Using Inbound Comparison

You can use the Inbound Comparison preference on the E-Document Subsidiary Preferences record to route converted inbound XML transactions for a specific subsidiary for manual review.

When this preference is enabled, Electronic Invoicing routes the following transactions for review:

For PO-backed conversions, Electronic Invoicing SuiteApp transforms the source purchase order or vendor bill and uses data from the source transaction to create the vendor bill or vendor credit. Header metadata is populated from the inbound XML, while item and expense line information is populated from the source purchase order or vendor bill. For standalone conversions, Electronic Invoicing SuiteApp creates the vendor bill or vendor credit from the inbound XML.

Note:

You can transform a vendor bill into a vendor credit only if the vendor bill is open, approved, and not marked as requiring review.

Transactions that require review display the Electronic Invoicing Review Required banner with the following message:

'Complete the electronic invoicing review before you continue processing this transaction.'

Review the converted transaction against the human-readable XML before continuing with accounts payable processing. The human-readable XML view is available only for UBL documents.

The Inbound Comparison preference applies only to the selected subsidiary. Clearing the preference for one subsidiary does not affect other subsidiaries.
