Automated Exception Removal Audit Report Description

Purchase Order Matching

This section provides details on where PO History (POH) data was sourced for smoothing. A timestamped snapshot of the PO at the time of exception removal is also provided for reference in an embedded link.

Messaging in this section reveals where your smoothed data is sourced from:

  • If a match was found using PO History (POH) data from the Exchange, messaging reads as "Purchase Order [PO #] was found in the POH data."

    Note: This option typically pulls additional data, for example Supplier ID and Manufacturer Part Number, since it's coming directly from the ERP system.

  • If a match was found using PO data from an order placed via the GHX Exchange, messaging reads as " Purchase Order [PO #] was found in the PO data."

  • If no matching PO data was found, messaging reads as "No purchase order was found in the PO history data or Exchange PO data at the time of smoothing."
    Note: This result might indicate a Parked invoice that's waiting for PO History data to be pulled later in the business day.

Invoice Level

This report section lists any smoothing changes made on the invoice level.

Line Level

This report section lists any smoothing changes made on the line level in table form. If a match criteria is found and an exception occurs on any of the other line-level fields, the matching PO line content replaces the invoice's line content to remove the exception.

Example:

Line 1 content matched on Extended Price and removed an exception by pulling in Supplier Part Number, Quantity, Unit of Measure, and Unit Price values from the PO.

Line 2 content matched on Part number and nothing was smoothed.

Line 3 content matched on Part number and extended price and removed an exception by pulling in Unit Price from the PO.
