Invoice Type without Purchase Order
You can configure your project so that the Invoice Type defaults to a PO, but is then switched to a NO-PO when no purchase order number is found, but the vendor is permitted to supply invoices without a purchase order.
You can configure your project in this way by following these steps.
- Using the menu, navigate to Invoice Type Settings.
-
Configure your settings as follows:
Setting
Value
Default Value
PO
Set By Vendor
Selected
Set By Vendor Co Code Exceptions
Leave blank
PO Value
MM
NPO Value
FI
Set To PO If PO Found
Selected
Set To PO If Valid PO Found
Cleared
-
Map
PO Value and
NPO Value.
In the example above, the system expects that the database locator finds either MM or FI. In the vendor master extract, the field denoting the invoice type is determined based on business rules and can typically be set as follows.
-
The vendor industry key, NO-PO invoices typically come from utility, car hire, and hotel vendors.
-
Whether the vendor has a purchasing view created.
-
The vendor account group.
-
The vendor classification.
-
-
Set the
Set By Vendor Co Code Exceptions setting to 1000,2000.
This restricts the vendor invoice type determination on a company-code by company-code basis.
Note If the Set By Vendor setting is selected and the invoice is meant for company codes 1000 or 2000, then the system does not apply the vendor invoice type preference. If the Set By Vendor setting is cleared, then the system applies the vendor invoice type preference only if the invoice is meant for company codes 1000 or 2000. - Click Save.
