What a supplier login shows, and what must be true first

You can say what a supplier sees and can change through the AP Automation Supplier Access applet…

What the login is

Step 1 — Know what your supplier will see

You will know what a login gives a supplier, and what it does not.

Step 2 — Get the matching running before anyone signs in

You will know why a new login can open onto an empty screen.

What you do
  1. Look at your own E-invoice Summary in the AP Automation applet

Step 3 — Make your receipts matchable first

The rows your supplier sees will say matched where the goods really were received.

What this step names
  1. The matcher compares the delivery-order number on their e-invoice with the number…
  2. Not the External Delivery Order box
  3. It compares amounts with no tolerance

Who does what

Step 4 — Give every field on the row an owner

Each field on a row will have one owner.

Step 5 — Keep the jobs the login does not do

You will know which work stays with people.

Left and right arrows, or the space bar, move between slides; f is full screen and Esc leaves it. Clicking the left or right half of a slide pages it. Play and pause belong to you — nothing moves on by itself unless you tick the box above.
