Supplier Invoice Approval when value differs from PO

[former_member652518]

I'm looking for a way to have supplier invoices with a reference to a purchase order to only go for approval if the value differs from the purchase order. Can anyone confirm if this is possible?

Hi j_sherm,

Yes, you can send theSupplier Invoice for an Approval when value differs from Purchase Order.

• Go to Application and User Management
• Click Approval Processes
• Select Supplier Invoice Approval
• Add Condition: Random exception check percentage as 100%
• Activate it.

.

Let me know if it works and mark the question as answered if your requirement is met or comment back for any further queries.

Hi Jason,

We know that supplier invoice any way will go in to exception if it has price variance or quantity variance. Here variance is nothing but comparison between Supplier invoice value or quantity with the Purchase order value or Quantity respectively.

If such exception is accepted and you want to have them approved before posting them then use the condition " Random exception check percentage" as 100% in the Supplier invoice approval process.

also you may refer the help document about this condition for more details

If the details solved your issue, please mark it as answered.
