Invoice Matching Parent Level Match Strategy (Doc ID 2978070.1)

Last updated on OCTOBER 05, 2023

Applies to:

Goal

Users currently have to match at a SKU level, there can be multiple SKUs on an order.

Ig this Strategy is changed and if matching falls outside the tolerance will users still be able to resolve discrepancies?

The technical brief states the following:

Match by Parent
Some retailers order and receive product at the style level allowing the supplier some flexibility in substituting one size or color within the style for another. The Parent Match type is an extension of Detail Level Matching, allowing matching at the parent (or style) level instead of the sku level. Parent Level Matching is available through the Auto Match Batch by using a 'Parent Level' type on a Match Strategy Detail Level entry. It is also available in the online matching with the 'Online Parent Matching' Supplier Option.
Parent Level tolerances were added to the Tolerance Maintenance screen to facilitate parent matching. If a parent is outside of tolerance, no matching occurs. Discrepancy resolution is not supported at the parent level.

Please explain the last sentence : If a parent is outside of tolerance, no matching occurs. Discrepancy resolution is not supported at the parent level.
