Line pairing for third-party freight invoices
Within Kofax AP Agility, a third-party freight invoice refers to a very specific business scenario where an invoice is received from a vendor billing for freight, yet that vendor legitimately quotes the purchase order number of another vendor (the material vendor), and it is against this material vendor’s purchase order that the freight charge needs to be booked.
Kofax AP Agility handles freight invoices that do not fall into this category as regular invoices. It handles the following scenarios:
-
The identified vendor is not the material vendor that raised the purchase order, but is the vendor set against a planned condition on any of the purchase order line items.
-
A user selects the Third-Party Freight invalid reason in the Validation Activity.
Kofax AP Agility does not extract line items from third-party freight invoices. Instead, at the time of line pairing, the system books the net invoice amount according to the miscellaneous charge group settings assigned to third-party freight vendors in the Misc Charge Settings tab.
