Company Code

This field represents a unique ID for a company that receives invoices.

For implementations involving Oracle e-Business Suite, this field is the organization ID. For implementations involving PeopleSoft, this field is accounts payable business unit.

By default, there is no formatting for this field.

You can configure whether this field is mandatory in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Field Settings.

This field is determined by one of the following methods:

  • Map a component in the document file name as referenced in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Global Settings > Import Settings, if it is set at the point of scan.

  • Use a database locator that references an Associative Search Database that points to a CSV extract of the master company code data. This is modified in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Global settings > Import Settings.

  • Through a lookup to a database table or downstream ERP system based on the extracted purchase order number (PO invoices only). If a value is found and the system is configured to take the company code from the purchase order in all cases, this overwrites any company code determined during the previous methods.

You can check the validity of manual entries in this field against a database or a downstream ERP system, as required. This is configured in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Company Code.
