Infor LX & BPCS Finance Tip: 3-Way Match - A validation step when paying vendor invoices in ACP500

The validation compares the order quantity and price from the purchase order, the quantity received from the ITH record, and the quantity and price on the vendor invoice. The PO, the receipt, and the invoice are the three “legs” of a 3-way match. If all three match, you have a valid invoice transaction. If the price you are about to pay does not match the price agreed on the purchase order, or if the quantity you’re about to pay for does not match what you ordered or received, the ACP500 user will want to review the discrepancy before paying the invoice. There can be legitimate reasons for a discrepancy, such as needing to prepay an invoice for an item to be received in the future. The 3-Way Match process lets the user take those extra validation steps before making the payment.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Just a refresher on a tip I’ve shared previously from supply Chain Technology Bulletin regarding how to attain greater inventory accuracy. I thought it would be worthwhile to share again:

  1. Record data regarding your inventory as soon as the items arrive at your door / receiving dock. With information, you can make decisions. Without it, you waste money, time, and effort.
  2. Leverage data collection, label generation, and RFID solutions to make your life easier.
  3. Set inventory accuracy goals for the business and for employees.
  4. Train your employees so they know what is expected of them, and how to best perform their job and therefore how best to maintain accurate inventory counts.
  5. Count the inventory – and do it regularly. Find a method that works best for your employees, and for your business.

When to use a user-defined inventory transaction

ERP LX (BPCS) provides you with the flexibility to create inventory transactions without program modifications. The typical transaction types are defined with effects set on how the transaction will impact inventory balances.

Perhaps you want to process a customer return and don’t want the inventory to be impacted. You can create a user define transaction effect to allow the customer receipt and not update the inventory balance.
