When processing pending invoices, it is common that due to goods not being received the user is unable to post (when using 3-way matching). The user will return to the pending invoice periodically to check whether the goods receipt is available for matching.

As there is no easy way to see products receipts where there is a potential pending invoice to match; a follow up date on the pending invoice would allow the user to use this date to check for product receipts to match.

This is commonly required when a company is invoice on dispatch, but the goods have a long lead time due to shipping.
