R12: Possible To Match Project Related Invoice To PO With Invalid Expenditure Item Date (Doc ID 1556265.1)

Last updated on MAY 01, 2018

Applies to:

Symptoms

• PO/Receipt match action does not validate project Expenditure Item Date on PO/Receipt.
• Matched invoice distributions are created with invalid project expenditure item date and these will not get interfaced to projects.
• Invoice matched to PO allows invalid expenditure item date to pass validation and post to GL, not PA
• When matching an invoice to a PO, the system inherits the Exp item date from the PO and does not error on validation, even though the date is not valid for the Project-Task.
• This allows the invoice lines to post to the general ledger.  
• The PA side is caught at the Supplier Cost Interface Exceptions report so does not post to PA.  
• These should be caught by the AP validation process.
