Compatibility of Approval Workflows with Vendor Bill Conversion

If Vendor Bill Approval Workflow is enabled, it is automatically applied to vendor bills created from inbound e-document conversion, without further configuration.

With approval workflow enabled, a vendor bill created from inbound e-document conversion is also assigned an approval status. If the new vendor bill is still pending approval when it was created, the approval process is continued. The vendor bill is then properly routed to the next approver defined in the workflow. For more information, see Vendor Bill Approval Workflow.

If 3 Way Match Vendor Bill Approval Workflow is enabled, you can determine the discrepancy between the created vendor bill and the reference purchase order. Clicking Bill Exception on the new vendor bill will display any discrepancy resulting from the validation performed by the approval workflow against set exception criteria. A vendor bill and its corresponding purchase order may have discrepancies in terms, quantity tolerance, quantity difference, or amount. For more information, see 3 Way Match Vendor Bill Approval Workflow.
