Use this activity to match a supplier Bill of Exchange with supplier debit and credit invoices. If the Bill is not completely matched, the remaining part is stored as a payment in advance, payment on account or you can create a difference item..
When matching the Bill with invoices, discounts can be utilized, parts of invoices can be written off, and partial payments can be made. Invoices in other companies can also be matched as long as the supplier is defined in the other companies.
A Bill of Exchange in one currency can be matched with invoices in other currencies as long as all currencies are EMU currencies, i.e. you can enter a Bill in EUR and match it with invoices in DEM or FRF, or vice versa. You can also enter a payment in DEM of invoices in FRF.
This activity requires that you have registered Bill of Exchange information in the Supplier Bills of Exchange page .
This entry does not cause any system effects until the supplier Bill is saved. Then all matched invoices are paid, and an Open Supplier Bill of Exchange ledger item is created with the full Bill of Exchange amount. If the Bill of Exchange is not fully matched, the remaining part will create a new Payment on Account or Payment in Advance with the unmatched amount. A voucher will be created in the hold table in IFS Accounting Rules.
