If a receipt schedule is linked to the terms of payment of the invoice, you perform the described actions on the receipt schedule lines rather than on the invoice.
A purchase invoice can be used either in the match to receipts procedure or in the match to orders procedure. For example, if during automatic matching you have partially matched a purchase invoice to receipts, you cannot manually match the remaining invoice amount with a purchase order line.
In addition, purchase order lines can be used either in the match to receipts procedure or in the match to orders procedure. As a result, if you want to match a purchase invoice to multiple order lines, you must use the same matching procedure for all the order lines.
To avoid problems, you can use the same matching procedure in all cases.
If you use payment agreements, LN can only match invoice lines with purchase order lines that have the same payment agreement.
