  • Publication number: 20070112650
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for suggesting item information for an invoice based on information in a related purchase order and/or goods receipt. Consistent with the principles of the invention, the procurement management system, upon initiation of an invoice entry, may search for a related purchase order and may determine whether any of the one or more items in the related purchase order have corresponding goods receipts. For those items in the related purchase order that are missing their expected goods receipts, the procurement management system may suggest item information obtained exclusively from the related purchase order. For those marked items that have been determined as having corresponding goods receipts, the procurement management system may obtain and verify information associated with these items from and against both the related purchase order and the items' corresponding goods receipts.
