Testing an invoice profile

Normally, before you begin using INVOICES to process invoices with a particular invoice profile, it is essential that you take the time to test the invoice profile. Your tests reveal adjustments that you can make to improve INVOICES' interpretation rate.

Test the invoice profile

To test an invoice profile, use the invoice profile in production with some representative test invoices, checking the statistics as you work and comparing the actual invoices with the transfer file. Define several additional invoice profiles with different settings and validation routines to determine which works best for the invoices.

Follow these instructions to create a new invoice profile based on an existing one:

  1. Right-click an existing invoice profile and select Save as.

  2. Type a new name and click OK to save.

  3. Select Edit > Settings.

  4. In the General settings, select Inactive.

Now you can make any changes you wish in the new invoice profile. You must reactivate and resave it before you can use it.
