Invoice Audit Article Price Validation Settings

Article price validations are performed by the Article Price Validation service.

By combining the different validation settings it is possible to configure a system that meets particular needs and works well depending on the available data.

Setting / Description	Tips / how-to use
AV1: Validate vs price list price Validate the invoice line amount against a supplier price list. Deviations are allowed within the min/max values set in the price list (if available) or within the default thresholds entered here If the setting is enabled, a deviation will be logged if the invoice line amount is smaller than the allowed negative tolerance (minimum price) or greater than the allowed positive tolerance (maximum price)	Use the minimum price and maximum price in the price list to specify specific tolerances for each article number The validation is performed on the line amount, that is the article unit price times the quantity. Currently the price engine does not support price calculations with discounts and charges, but could be added in the future. The following must match between an invoice and a price list entry in order to validate the price: Supplier id (Seller by internal trading partner id) Seller article id Quantity Quantity unit of measure Currency
AV2: Validate vs last known price Validate the unit price of invoiced articles against the last known price based on historical invoices. Deviations are allowed within the default thresholds entered here If the setting is enabled, a deviation will be logged if the unit price of an invoiced article is smaller than the allowed negative tolerance (minimum price) or greater than the allowed positive tolerance (maximum price)	The validation is performed on the unit price. The following must match between the current invoice and historical invoices in order to validate the price: Supplier name (seller) Customer name (buyer) Seller article id Quantity Quantity unit of measure Currency
AV4: Skip historical invoice validations on price list match Do not validate last known price if price list validation is passed	Tip: Use the price list to hold exceptions from historical invoice validations. The historical invoice validations (last known price) can sometimes issue unnecessary deviations, for example if a specific article id varies in price a lot over time. One way of working around this issue is to include these articles in a price list with a very broad tolerated range (min/max price) and activate the AV4 setting. This causes the historical price validations to exclude these articles.
AV5: Skip price list validation if no match Pass price list validation if article is not found in price list or price list does not exist for supplier	Tip: Only validate articles that are correctly setup in price list. If many purchased articles are not part of a price list, it might be useful to enable the AV5 setting in order to avoid excessive false positives in validation. Note that the drawback is that any article that cannot be identified in the price list will pass validation and discrepancies must be identified using other means.
