Matching Payables Options

Allow Final Matching

Enable this option to allow final matching of purchase order matched invoices. You can indicate a final match when you match an invoice to a purchase order during invoice entry or when you adjust a matched invoice distribution. You cannot final match when you match invoices to receipts.

Attention: If you final match to a purchase order, any subsequent invoices matched to the purchase order will be placed on hold, and you cannot manually release the hold.

Allow Distribution Level Matching

Enable this option if you want to allow matching to purchase order distributions. If you enable this option, you can match an invoice to one or more purchase order distributions. If you do not enable this option, Payables only allows you to match an invoice to a purchase order shipment.

This option is applicable when you match an invoice to a purchase order. You can also manually enter PO distributions in the invoice line.

Allow Matching Account Override

Enable this option if you want to allow override of the account for an invoice distribution created from matching to a purchase order. You can override the account for a matched invoice distribution in the Distributions window of the Invoice Workbench, or on any imported invoices. You cannot override the account for a matched invoice distribution if you use encumbrance accounting, or perpetual receipt accrual. In addition, you cannot override the account if the purchase order is projects related and the item destination for the purchase order distribution is Inventory.

Transfer PO Descriptive Flexfield Information

Enable this option if you want Payables to automatically transfer the descriptive flexfield information from the purchase order shipment to purchase order lines and the descriptive flexfield on purchase order distribution to the AP distribution when you match an invoice to a purchase order. If you enable this option, make sure that the flexfield structure is the same for purchase order distributions and invoice distributions.Please note that for invoices imported through the invoice open interface if a value is provided for any flexfield attribute in the invoice open interface, that value will overwrite the resulting attribute value on the invoice.
