    Invoicing Tab

    To If you are using Invoice Integration, the setting in the Invoicing tab is where the matching of Invoice Lines with the Order Line can be configured.

    Note: Please note that the supplier matching rules would apply to all connected Unimarket customers and cannot be different per customer.

     

    1. Line Number - Invoices sent via integration will match the Invoice Line number to the Order Line number. If your invoice system holds data of Order line numbers, the invoice can be sent and matched by Line Number.

    Matching on Line Number would allow a product to be "substituted" (using a different Product Code) as long as the quantity, price, and UOM did not exceed the product line number from the original order sent from Unimarket. 

    2. Product Code - Invoices sent via integration will use the Product Code of the invoiced items and match it to the Order items.

    The invoice setting is set-up at implementation and will be tested, please liaise with our Support Team with any changes to this.

     

    Forms Tab

    Forms can be associated with items in your catalog, they can contain fields for recording information or provide options for the buyer to select from.

Once in the help center, locate the article called Creating Catalog Forms.

     

    Categories Tab

This means that variances between UNSPSC versions can be mapped and customers receive a consistent category for reporting. It also means that supplier using another category system (e.g. ANSI) can maintain a mapping table so that their categories can be mapped back to the UNSPSC standard. For more information on how to setup category mapping please visit Category Mapping (UNSPSC) or alternatively login to your Unimarket store and go to the Learning Center menu (on the bottom left of the page) and select Online Help.
