Audit invoices and key data in accounts payable

When you receive an invoice from a vendor for goods or services on a purchase order, the business processes might require that the goods or services be received before the invoice can be approved for payment. Before you begin, make sure that the Invoice matching configuration key is selected.

In the Accounts payable parameters page, select the Enable invoice matching validation option, set the Post invoice with discrepancies field to Require approval, and the Line matching policy field is set to Three-way matching.

This procedure uses the USMF demo company. The accounts payable manager or accounting manager role would perform these steps.
