Matching
The matching page allows you to match and pair purchase invoices to their respective orders for the Routty Accounts Payable flow. By default, purchase order invoices are identified as such when they reference at least one order, but this setup can differ.
An invoice that’s not fully matched will be held by default, until all matching exceptions are resolved (in any number of ways).
The (built-in) matching exceptions that can occur are the following:
Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
OEX | No Order Item | No order line was paired to the invoice line, but was expected |
REX | No Receipt Item | No receipt line was paired to the invoice line, but was expected |
IOEX | Invoiced Order Item | The order line paired to the invoice line has an invalid status |
IREX | Invoiced Receipt Item | The receipt line paired to the invoice line has an invalid status |
OAEX | Order Amount Mismatch | The (order) amount variance of the line exceeded the tolerance limits |
OPEX | Order Price Mismatch | The (order) price variance of the line exceeded the tolerance limits |
OQEX | Order Quantity Mismatch | The (order) quantity variance of the line exceeded the tolerance limits (This applies only two 2-way matching !) |
RAEX | Receipt Amount Mismatch | The (receipt) amount variance of the line exceeded the tolerance limits |
RQEX | Receipt Quantity Mismatch | The (receipt) quantity variance of the line exceeded the tolerance limits |
AAEX | Acceptance Amount Mismatch | The (accepted) amount variance of the line exceeded the tolerance limits |
AQEX | Acceptance Quantity Mismatch | The (accepted) quantity variance of the line exceeded the tolerance limits |
EEX | Paired Exempt Item | Order and/or receipt line was paired to the (exempt) line, but was not expected |
LEX | Amount Exceeded | The amount of the (exempt) line exceeded the (absolute) tolerance limits (A ‘Relative Tolerance’ exception (RTEX) will be thrown in case a relative tolerance was set instead) |
