the plate for the lesson The three-way match

The order, the receiving record and the invoice. No bill is approved while the three disagree.

Where it happens

Orders, in auro Supply. This lesson is part of the Supply track.

What this lesson covers

  1. Step 1

    Count the box in at the door

    The receiving record is what was actually in the box, not what the packing slip said.

  2. Step 2

    Meet the three

    Purchase order, receiving record, invoice. Each of them is a separate claim about the same delivery.

  3. Step 3

    The tolerance

    Inside the greater of five dollars or one percent, the bill clears and posts on its own.

  4. Step 4

    Outside it, the bill is held

    A short shipment becomes a held bill with the reason on it, in the same queue as every other bill, so it is a decision in September and not a surprise in October.

After this lesson

You can receive a delivery, run the match, and say why a bill is being held.
