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

I recently came across an article from CIO Magazine that talked about the various ways that your ERP system could be hurting your business. The single most important item on that list referenced ERP systems that weren’t integrated with other systems that housed mission-critical business data.

Having data in two (or more) systems that don’t talk to one another is like baking a pizza crust in one oven and the toppings in another. Once baked, you may have some good food to snack on, but it sure isn’t pizza! Pizza requires the cheese and sauce and spices to bake with the crust. One takes on the flavor of the other and when you take a bite, you get a complete representation of the flavors.   

That’s the value of an integrated ERP system. When you take a bite, you get a complete representation of the flavors…meaning, you get one version of the truth. Everything comes together to allow you to analyze critical business data in an efficient way with no disconnects.

Crossroads consultants have spent years developing integration expertise to tie countless different systems to Infor ERPs.

Here are some examples…
