Role of Smart Reconciliation in Invoice Matching

Infor Lawson Smart Reconciliation is a self-service application for the Lawson Invoice Matching application. Smart Reconciliation enables you to reconcile exception invoices that do not pass the initial match in Invoice Matching and require a review. These exception invoices have a quantity or cost discrepancy.

Items that did not match and generated a PO cost message or a no receipt message are not displayed in the Smart Reconciliation application. PO cost messages or no receipt messages require other actions and you cannot match them until they are resolved.
