Recognition of Bill[26]janice.paganiniinsert2025/02/2714:46:58-05:00s Linked to Project Commitments

If an AP document that is being recognized relates to a project commitment, the system recognizes the following information in the bill line:

  • If a purchase order line with the[27]janice.paganini the2025/02/2720:21:18-05:00 matching information is found, the system specifies the found purchase order number in the recognized line and automatically populates[28]janice.paganinipopulates2025/02/2720:22:24-05:00[29]janice.paganiniinsert2025/02/2720:22:24-05:00inserts the project budget key (project, project task, and cost code) based on the corresponding purchase order line.

The following screenshot shows a recognized AP bill that has a line related to a purchase order for a project, a line related to a subcontract for a project, and two lines that are not related to any project.

When the user clicks Save and Continue for the recognized bill, the system creates an AP bill and opens the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form with the AP bill. The bill lines are added to the Details tab and include the following information:

  • [38]janice.paganini"For a direct AP bill"? Only one is being viewed on the form and discussed. Or do you mean something like "For lines of direct AP bills"?2025/02/2721:04:49-05:00For the direct AP bills, the system copies the project budget key[39]janice.paganiniinsert2025/02/2721:04:53-05:00, along with other line information.
  • For the project-related lines linked to purchase order[40]janice.paganiniinsert2025/02/2721:05:42-05:00 lines, the system also copies the purchase order and receipt numbers to the PO Number and PO Receipt Nbr. columns, respectively.
  • For the project-related lines linked to subcontract[41]janice.paganiniinsert2025/02/2721:05:49-05:00 lines, the system copies the subcontract number to the Subcontract Nbr. box.
