AP Match Code

AP Match Code is an indexed value that can be added to any document which will need to be automatically attached to an invoice. Any value can be used as an AP Match Code. This is not a predefined field. Use this with backup documentation such as contracts that need to be attached to invoices during the invoice approval process.

 

Tip:  Determine ahead of time what letters and/or numbers will be used as AP Match Codes. For instance, an AP Match Code could be the initials of vendors. Be sure to maintain uniformity when creating the AP Match Codes to eliminate confusion when entering invoices and selecting AP Match Codes.

 

 

Setting up an AP Match Code

 

For any document needing to be systematically attached to an invoice through an AP Match Code, the AP Match Code Index Value must be included on the Document Type.

The AP Match Code is determined by the individual doing the indexing. There are no defaults with this value.

               AP Match Code index values can be used for all document types.
