External Supplier Invoice M18 and M91 postings

Hi, 

No such external invoice parameter (skip M18, M91), that I have seen. 

The question then is …  If you review the external supplier invoice, what matching was produced.   The posting you describe are created as a result of any matching (inventory or non-inventory). If no matching, then no M18, or M91.   

You can see the external sup invoice parameters.    It’s possible to skip the posting proposal process, this may skip the matching process.  Although I’ve tested with thousands of invoices, I’ve never tested that setting when planning to process PO related invoices. That option could be common when loading historical invoices or perhaps previously approved expenses (some other system). 

Best regards,

Hi ​@Thomas Peterson

Thank you very much for the update. I was checking the parameters and another concern for me would be the company is not using posting proposal. In that case will the setup still considers this.

Hi, 

To be honest, have not tested this (not using posting proposal).  All my clients and most of other consultants have been using posting proposal for many years (apps 8 and beyond). 

Because posting proposal does the automated AP / Automated matching - it may not “automate” the matching when not using the posting proposal.  

Since apps 8, maybe 1 client of mine, did not use posting proposal.    - In short, I had not tested this (no posting proposal) for a very long time.

Hi, 

There is no such parameter. No matching will be triggered in the external supplier invoice even if the uploaded invoice has a PO Ref. The matching happens when you press Create Invoice in the External Supplier Invoice/External Supplier Invoice Load Information page.
