What's New: Matching Purchase Invoices to Order and Receipt Lines (2026 release wave 1)

Overview

The video explains a limitation of the current get receipt line experience, which only lets you match one invoice line to one receipt line. It then demos the new matching capability for cases where the vendor invoice arrives before the goods, or one invoice covers several receipts or order lines.

Demos cover a Get order lines action, a matched order line user interface that shows the invoice line with order and receipt lines in a tree, and a received on invoice flag on purchase orders that posts the receipt when the invoice is posted. An advanced scenario covers item tracking with serial numbers and a directed put-away and pick location, where the process differs.

Key points

• The current get receipt line experience matches only one invoice line to one receipt line; the new capability matches an invoice line to one or multiple non-received order lines or to many partial receipt lines.
• The Get order lines action shows all available order lines and creates one invoice line per order line.
• The matched order line user interface shows the invoice line on top, with order lines and receipt lines below it in a tree structure; quantity to invoice is editable, so receipts can be invoiced partially.
• An invoice matched only to order lines cannot be posted until it is matched to at least one receipt line; Get receipt lines or Get order lines adds the posted receipts.
• Setting the received on invoice flag on a purchase order makes the receipt post automatically when the invoice is posted; this is shown for simple purchase orders.
• With item tracking, the item tracking entries action shows which serial numbers are invoiced, and the receipt shipment number field shows which receipt they belong to.
• At a directed put-away and pick location, a manually added invoice line must be matched before its quantity can be entered; Get order lines works the same as before.
