Purchase Invoice
Use purchase invoicing to register vendor charges and reconcile them with the costs recorded on forwarding documents. Matching the supplier's invoice to the operational cost lines helps identify differences before posting.
Match Purchase Lines
FMS purchase mapping links registered purchase invoice information to forwarding documents and their cost lines. The FMS matching method uses the document and line information supplied by the registration process to find the appropriate operational costs.
Configure the purchase mapping rules and the identifiers passed by your invoice registration or import. Review unmatched or ambiguous lines and differences in vendor, currency or amount before posting. A line that has been imported is not necessarily a successfully matched cost.
Multiple-vendor invoices
The transport purchase invoice run can use the vendor on individual cost lines rather than assuming every charge belongs to the document's carrier. A selection containing costs for two vendors can therefore produce separate purchase invoices for the respective vendors.
Check the Buy-from Vendor No. on each cost line, the vendor's posting setup and the applicable invoice grouping criteria. Run the process for the intended document selection, then check each generated invoice and its source costs before posting.
Note
This is a transport purchase-invoice capability. It does not combine different vendors onto a single purchase invoice.
