PO matching means checking a supplier bill against the purchase order it belongs to before you pay it.
What Kinetic does on its own
Kinetic matches invoices to receipts, not to the PO alone. Receive goods against the PO, then in AP Invoice Entry use Get > Get Not Invoiced Receipts and pick the receipt lines. Partial invoicing tracks what is left on a line.
- Receipt based
What you need in Kinetic
- A posted receipt
- Allow Multiple Invoicing of Receipts ticked in Company Configuration > Modules > Finance > Accounts Payable for part invoicing

Common questions
Does Kinetic match to the PO or the receipt?
The receipt. With no receipt there is nothing to match.
Can I invoice a PO in parts?
Yes, with Allow Multiple Invoicing of Receipts set. AP Partial Invoicing and the AP Received Not Invoiced report track the rest.
Can one invoice cover several POs?
Yes. Multiple POs can be applied to one invoice.
Does Pulsify stop a bill with a price difference?
No. Pulsify flags the difference on the bill. The approver decides whether to approve, reject or send it back.
