Business value

This feature saves your accounts payable staff time by letting them restart processing for multiple vendor invoices in a single step.

Feature details

When an imported invoice can't be submitted to workflow successfully, the system will remove it from further automated processing. An accounts payable clerk can review and edit the invoice before the automated process attempts to rerun the process for that invoice. Currently, unsuccessful invoices must be resubmitted for processing one at a time. This feature lets you restart processing for multiple invoices where the reason for the failure can be resolved by a single fix for those invoices. For example, assume that one of the financial dimensions in the account structure was inadvertently changed. This change prevented multiple imported invoices from being submitted to workflow successfully. Correcting the financial dimension will solve the failure reason for all unsuccessful invoices that were affected by that issue.
