Auto-balance invoice option  

The Auto Balance Invoice option allows you to have the system automatically assign any difference between the sum of the PO lines and the invoice total, up to the amount of the PO tolerance defined in the Purchasing business parameters.

The PO invoice tolerance must have a value in your environment. You can enter an amount and/or a percent. If both are entered, the system calculates both ways and uses the result that provides the least tolerance. For example, if tolerance is $5.00 or 10% and the invoice is $200, 10% = $20, so the allowed tolerance will be $5.00. But if the invoice is $25, 10% = $2.50, then $2.50 would be used.

If the difference being balanced is within the inventory PO tolerance, the message on the Auto Balance Invoice screen will state "Press Enter and confirm to auto balance". If the difference exceeds the allowed tolerance, the message will state "Difference exceeds allowed tolerance" and you will not be able to auto-balance the amount.
