What happens when matching occurs?

When an order line and invoice line are matched, several tasks are completed.

The following is carried out:

  • The Invoice Status on the purchase order line and the purchase invoice line are updated to Part Invoiced or Fully Invoiced as appropriate.
  • The purchase order line and invoice line are set to the status Closed if they are fully matched, no other matching is to take place and invoice matching is the last stage on the Purchase Type. If invoice matching is not the last stage then the invoice remains open.
  • Any ledger postings at the invoice matching stage take place.
  • Inventory Costing is invoked and the Latest /Actual and Weighted Average costs on receipts, issues and items are updated if the invoice cost is different to the order cost.
  • Budget commitment values are reduced and budget expenditure values are increased.
