Finding Passed Purchase Invoices

'Passed Purchase Invoices' are Purchase Invoice Registration records which have been completed; i.e. all items have been successfully matched and accounted for.

 

Purchase Invoice Registration records are created when registering an invoice you have received from a supplier - see Purchase Invoice Registration and Matching. You may then match the supplier's invoice amounts against your own Purchase Orders, Good Received Notes and Supplier Return Notes (or nominal codes, in the case of Expenses Invoices, Haulage Invoices and Debit Notes) to ensure all is allocated correctly.

 

If a Purchase Invoice Registration record has been created and saved, but all totals have not been matched, these records may be retrieved in the Finder as 'Registered Purchase Invoices'. See Finding Registered Purchase Invoices.
