Purchase order number validations

Kofax AP Agility is able to extract and validate purchase order numbers that relate to data held in ERP system database tables.

Different ERP systems have different ways of organizing data in their underlying databases. This different in organization requires an alternative approach to data validation that depends on the ERP system you are using.

By default, the following types of purchase order numbers are supported for database validation.

  • Standard purchase order numbers that are used by SAP ECC and Oracle e-Business Suite.

  • JD Edwards purchase order numbers.

  • PeopleSoft purchase order numbers.

  • Purchase order numbers that are stored in an ERP system based on the order number and company code.

Purchase order number validations are configured per profile ID by using the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > PO Number Settings > PO Number Validation tab.

Purchase order line level configuration that is used as part of the line pairing is configured per profile ID in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Line Pairing Settings.

If you are using line pairing, both the header level validation and the line level validation must be configured in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > PO Number Settings > PO Number Validation setting and the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Line Pairing Settings.
