REIM Auto-matching an Invoice + Credit Note to a Shipment without the manual step of resolving discr
We have suppliers who will regularly raise an invoice for the full quantity despatched out of their warehouse. If, during delivery inspection, there are shortages, we the retailer will record only what was actually received. The supplier is notified of the shortages and they raise a Credit Note for the shortages.
In many cases, the net amount of the Invoice + Credit Note will equal the PO Receipt (RMS shipment) amount.
The standard procedure is to let Auto Matching attempt a match, at which point there will be discrepancies between the Invoice and the PO Receipt. You can then resolve the discrepancies by raising a Credit Note Request. This will allow the invoice to Match (but on hold) .
