This is the standard process when manually creating an invoice for a purchase order and matching it to product receipts:

• Purchase order
• Product receipt 1 => 4 items
• Product receipt 2 => 3 items
• Product receipt 3 => 5 items
• Post invoice for product receipt 1
• Accounts payable > Invoices > Pending vendor invoices
• Click on “Vendor invoice > New > From product receipt
• Mark “Include” for product receipt 1 and click “Ok”

Using menu item “Vendor invoice > New > From product receipt” will start the process again and you can in- or exclude product receipts.

As soon as you save the invoice and leave the form, you can not use the function “From product receipt” again. The menu item does not appear anymore.

This would be extremely helpful, especially if you create the pending invoice from an external system. In this case you never have the chance to use the function “From product receipt”.

In this example, matching product receipt 1 for this invoice would mean deselecting all items (1 click) and then selecting four items (4 clicks) and matching the receipt (4 clicks).

If the function “From product receipt” would be available this would be reduced to deselecting all items (1 click) and selecting one product receipt (1 click). This means 2 clicks instead of 9.

In AX2012 R2 this was also possible by selecting “Add another product receipt”.
