Matching a bill to a purchase order means checking the invoice lines against what was ordered (and sometimes received) before you pay. What is purchase order?
Before you start
- Receipt posted
The Kinetic way
Where to find it: AP Invoice Entry > Get > Get Not Invoiced Receipts
- Receive goods against the PO
- In AP Invoice Entry choose Get > Get Not Invoiced Receipts
- Select the receipt lines that meet tolerance
- Enter the invoice amounts and post
Limits in Kinetic
- Matches to receipts, so no receipt means nothing to match
Good to know in Kinetic
- Multiple POs can be applied to one invoice
Words Kinetic uses
- AP Invoice Entry. The screen where you enter and group supplier invoices before posting.
The Pulsify way
- Sync your open POs from Kinetic to Pulsify.
- Forward the supplier's invoice. Pulsify links it to the right purchase order.
- Pulsify matches each line on quantity and unit price, to within 1 cent.
- Review flags for price differences, extra quantity and lines not on the PO.
- Approve. The AP invoice is created in Kinetic against the purchase order.
Pulsify connects to Kinetic. We set up the connection for you.
What Pulsify does not do here
- Pulsify has no tolerance setting. It compares to the cent.
- Flags are warnings. Your approver decides.
Common mistakes
- Invoicing before the receipt is posted.
- Picking receipt lines without checking they meet tolerance.
