These slides need JavaScript to advance one at a time. Without it every slide is shown below, one after another — or read the full lesson, which carries the same steps, the same audio and the whole transcript.

Step 1 — Name the question you are answering

You can say in one sentence what the whole exercise is for.

Step 2 — Accept that none of this touches your accounts

You will stop looking for a ledger effect that is not there.

What this step names
  1. It does not change the document's status
  2. Does not touch tax
  3. Does not create a journal line
  4. Does not move a supplier balance

Step 3 — Tell a matching queue from a submission queue

A screen full of untouched rows will stop worrying you.

What you do
  1. Read the word queue here as worklist…

Step 4 — Tell it from three-way matching

You will not go looking for purchase orders on these screens.

What this step names
  1. Comparing a purchase order against a goods received note against a supplier…
  2. It is a purchasing job
  3. It lives in the purchasing guides

Step 5 — Set your expectations before you open anything

You will not spend a month waiting for a screen to fill.

Step 6 — Get the three prerequisites in place

You can start the next lesson without being blocked halfway through it.

What this step names
  1. First
  2. You can open the My E-Invoice Admin Applet and its left menu…
  3. Purchase — if either group is missing
  4. An applet setting is hiding it
  5. Whoever administers the applet can restore it
