Hi

I have been speaking to the Geac helpdesk about 2-way invoice matching and
can't believe that no-one else has a similar problem to us.

If a purchase order is raised with an order quantity of (say) 40, then the
supplier sends in 35, there are still 5 outstanding on the order line. If
you then try to match the supplier's invoice quantity (in this case 40)
the system won't let you because there are still outstanding receipts due
on this line. Surely this is the whole point of matching - to throw up
those variances. Can anyone explain the rational behind this?

TIA
