Two-way price totals matching
Two-way matching helps you make sure that the variance between the price information on the purchase order and the invoice is within acceptable tolerances. You can compare price information for the net amount of each line on the invoice, and all pending and previously posted invoice lines, with the net amount of the corresponding purchase order line. This process is called price totals matching.
You can base price totals matching on a percentage, an amount, or a percentage and amount.
If you specify a purchase price total tolerance percentage, Dynamics 365 Finance compares five fields. Because the purchase price total tolerance percentage is 10%, the price total variance percentage of 50% represents a matching discrepancy.
You control two-way matching for the legal entity through the Line matching policy field on the Accounts payable parameters page. Depending on the selection in the Allow matching policy override field, you can select two-way matching for a specific vendor, item, or item and vendor combination on the Matching policy page and for a specific purchase order on the Purchase order page.
You control price totals matching for the legal entity through the Match price totals field on the Accounts payable parameters page. That page also specifies the purchase price total tolerance percentage and tolerance amount (not-to-exceed amount).
