Many businesses struggle with product receipting discipline, that is, goods are receipted late causing delays in 3-way matching and invoice processing.

This means:

1. With the current functionality in both invoice capture and D365, unless you have the AP parameters set to 'Automatically create invoice lines' from 'Ordered quantity' the PO number is not transferred with the header only invoices from Invoice capture.

2. If the AP params for 'Automatically create invoices lines' are set to 'Product receipt quantity' then the PO number is not transferred if there is no existing product receipt, and the invoice requires manual intervention to progress.

In scenario 2 above, it would be great if the 'Automatically create invoice lines' from 'Product receipt quantity' could run as a process automation task, rather than (or in addition to) the immediate call to D365 on invoice transfer. This would allow for late receipting to also be able to create the invoice lines, and in conjunction with the other process automations (Match vendor invoice lines with product receipts), allow for touchless invoice processing.

Having the PO visible in the pending vendor invoices form helps the AP clerk determine who is responsible for receipting or query management.
