Invoices from the same vendor can be compared with each other. For example, the amount on an old invoice can be quickly checked in the case of a monthly recurring invoice. It can also be checked whether a particular invoice or part of an invoice has already been processed.
For example, when an invoice is in the Approve or Code step, the Compare Invoices icon is located in Header panel. A graph shows a maximum of the last 5 completed invoices from this vendor.
By clicking on Advanced a pop-up window will show. With this function the active invoice can be placed next to one of the invoices from the same vendor.
On the right side of the pop-up window the active invoice is shown. On the left side of window the invoice is compared, and at the bottom of the window the graph is shown with invoices from the same vendor. This graph shows the most recent invoices from the vendor with the Invoice Date and Invoice Amount. Only older invoices than the active invoice can be shown. Invoices do not have to be assigned to the user to be able to compare them.
When a column in the graph is selected (colored gray), it is compared with the active invoice (colored green). Another invoice (blue color) can then be selected to compare with.
