Regular invoice vouchers verify that the cost of the invoice lines matches the cost of the associated order lines within a specified range of tolerance. The range of tolerance can be based on an absolute dollar amount or on a percentage, as defined on the Organizations form (BMORGS). Specify Match tolerance absolute or Match tolerance % to establish the amount or percentage allowed as the difference between the purchase order line cost and the invoice voucher line cost when matching line costs. Upon approval of the invoice voucher, Datastream 7i adjusts the quantity on other purchasing forms, captures the price, freezes the exchange rate if foreign currencies are used, and updates prices.
Occasionally suppliers’ prices for items vary, causing discrepancies between an invoice voucher and Datastream 7i projected costs for that invoice. Set the MATCHAPP installation parameter to YES to enable Datastream 7i to automatically assign the Approved/active status to vouchers matched by the invoice process.
