Receiver Match Reference (MA41.6)

Use this form to spread charges for freight, duty, and so on, on invoices that have been received from the vendor to purchase order lines. By spreading the charges, two advantages can be gained. If the charges are spread to inventory items, the unit value of the charge spread to the line can become part of the item cost in the inventory system. If the charges are spread to non-inventory items, the charges spread to the line will be charged to the same account as the line with which it is associated.

The system determines what lines the added amount will be spread to differently, depending on what type of invoice is being processed. Purchase order lines that are designated as being excluded from spread never have add-on costs spread to them. If the invoice is for product and add-on cost, the amount is spread to the lines that have been approved on the invoice. If the invoice is for add-on cost only, the amount is spread to all received but not previously approved add-on cost records.

Add-on cost charges can be spread to the line by quantity, amount, weight, or volume.
