New AO option checks invoice tolerances before receiving

A new option, Check Invoice Tolerances Before Receiving, is added to SA Administrator Options-Vendors-Receiving. When this is selected, the AP Total Costed amount for a DO purchase order automatically received when it is costed against a vendor invoice in Vendor Invoice Center Entry must also be within the invoice total tolerance allowance.

In some situations, a DO PO may be automatically received because the PO quantity, PO amount, and PO Header values are all within the tolerances defined in the Auto-Receive of Direct Orders section in SA Administrator Options-Vendors-Receiving. However, the vendor invoice might show a proof balance that prevents it from being costed. This creates a reconciliation error and requires manual review.

If the Check Invoice Tolerances Before Receiving option is selected, the total costed amount is checked to ensure it is within the tolerances defined at the company level in the Tolerances for Batch Reconcile section in SA Administrator Options-Vendors-Receiving or by vendor in Vendor Setup-Reconcile. If it is not, the DO PO is not received and the AP invoice is not costed.

Feature activation
