What is Match Reference Processing?

When you set up a vendor in Vendor (AP10.1), you decide if a match reference number is required for the vendor's invoices. Match reference numbers are user-defined, and they link an invoice to a specific receipt in the match process. When entering invoices for that vendor, you enter the match reference number and simplify the match process. For example, you can use the Bill of Lading number to tie a specific invoice to a specific receipt.

Match reference processing can be used with:

• Invoice Match A:A (attempts to match all invoices to all receipts within the pool) or A:1 (attempts to match all invoices to one receipt within the pool)

You must set up match reference processing for a vendor before you enter invoices for that vendor.
