If you've used the Review Vendor Invoice Matching task element in a vendor invoice workflow, I could use your assistance on reconciling the setup to what the help instructions state.
The help instructions on TechNet state that this workflow element is to be used in conjunction with a batch job to automatically match product receipts to vendor invoices, if the vendor invoice was created in AX via the Enterprise Portal or via a web service:
Review vendor invoice matching | Manual | Match product receipts automatically to vendor invoices by creating a batch task to run in a batch job.
This batch process will match product receipts to their corresponding invoices. The batch process applies to vendor invoices that were entered in a vendor portal or received through a service. For more information, see Create a batch job. |
How does this workflow element work in conjunction with the batch job, since the Review vendor invoice matching workflow element is defined as a manual process and the assignment options are all user driven.
Q: Are the batch job and workflow elements independent from one another, or is the Review vendor invoice matching element dependent on having a batch job configured?
Q: If they are independent, what does the Review vendor invoice matching element provide above and beyond what the Review vendor invoice element does? Does the matching element solely provide access to the Matching Details form, where variances can be manually approved?
