Business value

This capability improves purchase invoice accuracy and reduces posting errors by letting you match invoice lines to all relevant PO‑lines and receipts. You can work with complex scenarios that involve partial receipts, item tracking, multiple order references, or missing receipts.

Feature details

The purchase order matching experience lets you match purchase invoice lines to multiple purchase order lines and posted receipt lines. You gain much more flexibility compared to the existing Get Receipt Lines action, which is based on posted receipts and matches line to line.

The new Get Order Lines action on the purchase invoice opens a list of order lines that are received but not invoiced, or order lines that aren't received. You can match each invoice line to any number of purchase order lines, regardless of whether receipts exist. When receipts exist, they display with the relevant details. When receipts don't exist, you can match the invoice line directly to the purchase order lines and decide later whether to receive manually or to use the new auto‑receipt capability.

From each invoice line, you can open the Matched Order Lines page to review and adjust the order lines that will be invoiced with that invoice line. You can edit quantities, add additional PO‑lines or posted receipt lines, and review discrepancies such as price or amount differences. You can also open Matched Order Lines on the invoice header to review and correct matching across the entire document.

On purchase orders, the new Matched Invoice Lines field shows the quantity matched via invoice lines to each order line.

When you turn on the new Receipt on Invoice toggle on the order, posting the linked invoice automatically creates the required receipts. However, you can't enable this option for orders that use advanced warehouse operations, have item tracking, or are already partially received.

This feature has a few limitations:

  • It doesn’t work with orders that have prepayments, or lines of the Item Charges type.
  • You can’t use it with orders linked to projects, subcontracting, blanket orders, or intercompany transactions.
  • You can’t use auto-receive with partially received lines, or locations that use directed put-away and pick (in warehouse management).
