Accept/Reject an Invoice Submitted against a Blanket Order

  • Updated

Users with access to the Blanket Order (BO)—including the BO creator and those listed in the Available To field—have the authority to view, accept, or reject invoices submitted against it.

When an invoice is Accepted, its value is subtracted from the Blanket Order's total amount, and the corresponding funds are drawn down.

 

Accept Functionality

  • If the user is listed in the Available To field of the Blanket order. Their name will appear as the buyer on the release order, once the invoice is accepted. 

  • Split Account Funds: Upon accepting the invoice, the user can allocate desired funds amongst multiple account codes on the blanket. 

    • IF the Enable Release Order Coding setting is enabled, Release Order Coding Controls setting is designated to ALL (within the community) and Allow Release Order Coding box is checked, upon creation of the blanket order.
