Business value
The purchase draft feature lets you review and refine incoming e-invoices, especially those lacking item references or G/L mappings, before finalizing them. Enable this feature for Peppol e-invoices to improve control, reduce posting errors, and streamline invoice creation, even when data is incomplete. This feature enhances accuracy, boosts operational efficiency, and supports compliance with evolving e-invoicing standards.
Feature details
The purchase draft concept in e-documents lets users preview and interact with incoming e-documents before posting them. This concept improves control, accuracy, and flexibility in how electronic documents are processed before matching to purchase invoices.
Originally, purchase draft was used only by documents created from a PDF document source, but now it's enabled for Peppol e-invoices as well. The idea is to make it easier to create new purchase invoices when you don't have GL account mappings or item references for lines in inbound e-documents.
Users can view a draft version of the e-invoice to inspect and validate the data before committing it to the system. If the vendor is configured to receive invoices, users can manually map e-invoice lines to items, general ledger accounts, or other relevant types directly from the draft page. This ensures accurate posting and accounting.
