Review and post incoming AP supplier invoices from AP Automation

Use the Draft AP supplier invoices standard view to review AP supplier invoices that Sage Intacct created from uploaded or emailed AP supplier invoices. From this view, you can:

• See import exceptions that require your attention.
  
• View the attached AP supplier invoice document directly from the list, using the Attach shortcut.
• Select and view details for AP supplier invoices in draft state.
• Enter tax details for transactions.

1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > AP supplier invoices.

2. Select the down arrow beside the View menu, then select Draft AP supplier invoices.

   The list updates to show all AP supplier invoices in a draft or analyzing state.

   How Intacct shows AP supplier invoice states for uploaded and emailed AP supplier invoices

   • Analyzing: Intacct is still processing the document. You can view the attached AP supplier invoice document, but the AP supplier invoice details are not yet populated.
   • Draft: Processing is complete. You can view and edit the AP supplier invoice details. When ready, submit or post the AP supplier invoice.

   The Analyzing state appears for uploaded AP supplier invoices that are being processed. AP supplier invoices submitted by email appear in the AP supplier invoices list when the draft is complete.

   To update the list at any time, select Refresh. AP supplier invoices that arrived after you opened the AP supplier invoices list appear, and the state of AP supplier invoices that were previously Analyzing are updated.

3. Hover over any alerts that you see in the Import exceptions column to get more information.

   Import exceptions alerts you to issues found when the emailed or uploaded document was processed. For example, a duplicate AP supplier invoice or unreadable file.

   In cases where Intacct cannot capture some or all of the AP supplier invoice information, you can fill in the details yourself, using the attachment as a reference. If the attachment is unreadable, submit a new file or ask the supplier to resend the AP supplier invoice.

   The Import exceptions column appears in the AP supplier invoices list for standard views. If you do not see the column, select the All or Draft AP supplier invoices view. You can also add the column to a custom view.

   When you edit or view a draft that has an import exception, a more detailed exception message appears. The import exception clears once you save, post, or submit the transaction.

   Types of import exceptions

   Potential import exceptions are as follows:

   Exception type	Message	Description
   Duplicate	Duplicate of existing AP supplier invoice	The submitted AP supplier invoice duplicates an existing AP supplier invoice, so the draft was not populated. Select View the original AP supplier invoice to see the AP supplier invoice that it duplicates.
   Resolve	Supplier not found	Sage Intacct could not match the supplier with confidence. Select a supplier before posting.
   Resolve	File cannot be read	The system could not read the attachment. Forward or upload a new version of the file, or enter the AP supplier invoice details directly.
   Resolve	File too large	The AP supplier invoice could not be processed because it exceeded the maximum file size. Submit a version of the AP supplier invoice that's smaller than 20 MB, or enter AP supplier invoice details directly, using the attachment as reference.
   Resolve	Possible disconnect	A technical issue occurred during processing. Enter the AP supplier invoice details directly.
   Resolve	Possible virus	A possible virus was detected in the attachment that prevented analysis. Enter AP supplier invoice details directly.
   Resolve	Unsupported file format	The AP supplier invoice could not be processed for one of the following reasons: The file type was not PDF, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. The file was a non-standard PDF, or the PDF version was 1.4 or earlier. The file was encrypted. Submit the AP supplier invoice again using a supported file type or enter the AP supplier invoice details directly.
   Resolve	Location is outside the restriction limit for Supplier dimension.	The supplier is restricted to a different location than the location where the AP supplier invoice was submitted. Change the location for the AP supplier invoice. If the AP supplier invoice was submitted to an entity that is restricted, delete the AP supplier invoice and resubmit to the correct entity.
   Resolve	Value for Allocation has been provided along with one or more Dimension Fields	The previous AP supplier invoice contained a line item with allocation. Update the allocation for the line item. If the previous AP supplier invoice included a custom allocation, Intacct does not copy the dimension values in the new draft AP supplier invoice. Edit the allocation to add dimension values.
   Resolve	Transaction total amount is required when using Inclusive tax	The previous AP supplier invoice for this supplier had more lines with inclusive tax than the submitted AP supplier invoice. This creates a AP supplier invoice with an amount of 0.
