Hello

What is the simplest method by which an invoice can be matched to a PO?

At present I am being told that after receipt of goods the PO number has to be moved from ref to Ex.ref in the batch invoice screen and the invoice number inserted in the ref field, before the ledger can be updated so that the invoice can be matched.

Well ... If you leave the ref in the invref then you can drill down in the ledger to the PO, but the suppliers inv may be broken up into lots of bits.

Overwriting it with the suppliers ref groups all the stuff on one invoice in the ledger but you don't get drill down.

Each has it's merits, I wish they did the drill down on the extraref and populated extra ref with the po number as well then you could have the best of both worlds.

There is no "NEED" to put the PO ref on the entry at all you could put the suppliers invoice number on the first row and use F6 to copy it onto the following lines and loose the PO number altogether, this is the most "simple" way to do it.

P.S. Those machines!!! My god I had a Landy many moons ago once and I though it was a beast.
