Match Approval Level (Matching of Invoices with Purchase Orders)


Match Approval Level (Matching of Invoices with Purchase Orders)

If we use Oracle Payables with Oracle Purchasing or another integrated purchasing product, we can perform online matching of invoices and original purchase orders or purchase order receipts. Matching ensures that we only pay for the goods and services you ordered and that our suppliers do not over bill us. If we are billed for an item over the amount and quantity invoice tolerances that we define in the Invoice Tolerances window in Payables then Invoice validation applies holds to the invoice and prevents payment until we release the holds.

For 3 Way matching to work, we must set a value for Quantity received in the Invoice Tolerances window , and the item needs to be set to receipt required.

2 - Way- When we match to purchase order or receipt, Invoice validation performs these control checks.
1. Quantity Billed <= Quantity Ordered.
2. Invoice Price <=Pruchase Order Price.

3 Way- 
1. Quantity Billed <= Quantity Ordered.
2. Invoice Price <=Pruchase Order Price.
3. Quantity Billed <= Quantity Received.

4 Way-
1. Quantity Billed <= Quantity Ordered.
2. Invoice Price <=Pruchase Order Price.
3. Quantity Billed <= Quantity Received.
4.Quantity Billed <=Quantity Accepted.

Invoice Aging Report
This report is used to analyze the cash flows of our unpaid invoices. This report provides information about invoice payments due within four weeks periods our specify in aging periods window.
Invoice Audit Listing by Voucher Number
This report to review our invoices with assigned sequential voucher numbers. Either we are payables can assign a unique, sequential number to an invoice during invoice entry, if we enable the sequential numbering profile option.
Invoice Audit Listing
This report to audit invoices for duplicates. We should audit invoices periodically to ensure control of invoice payments. We can sort this listing in six different ways. For example we may want to only audit invoices over $500. We can specify a minimum invoice amount, and sort invoices by amount then the supplier name and date.
Invoice Audit Report
This report lists invoices that appear as potential duplicates according to several criteria. One criterion we specify is the number of characters in the invoice number which two or more invoice have in common. The report lists invoices which meets this criteria and have the same invoice amount, the same invoice date, and same supplier. We can limit the search by checking for duplicate invoices within a time period we specify.
Invoice History Report
The invoice history report is needed to justify the balance for a given range of invoices. It helps us to quickly identify and review a detailed list of all activities pertaining to a specific invoice including all payments, gain/loss, credit , debit memos and discounts.
It also helps us to identify activities on prepayments and credit ,debit memos.
The balance of the invoices in then summed for each supplier site for each supplier and for the entire report.







Invoice on Hold Report
This report to review detailed information about invoices on hold. We can submit the approval process before submitting this report to obtain the most up to date hold info. To obtain additional detail for invoices on matching hold, we can submit the matching hold detail report.
This report is divided into three sections. The first section gives us supplier , invoice, purchase order, amount and hold information for each invoice o hold. Payables subtotals the invoices on hold by supplier or by hold code. The subtotal information includes the number of invoices, total original amount and total amount remaining for the invoices on hold. The report does not include cancelled invoices.

We can also use this report to reconcile variances between an invoice amount and its distribution amount. Variances can result from reversing distribution or correcting entries.
Invoice Validation Report
This invoice validation report to review the total number of matching and variance holds that payables applies and releases after we submit invoice validation. If we use budgetary control payables also lists any funds control holds.
Matching Hold Detail Report
This matching hold detail report to review detailed accounts payables and purchasing information for invoices with matching holds and matching hold releases. We can print this report before initiating a payment batch to determine whether to manually release any invoices for payment.
