15 - Coding An Invoice
There are many ways to create coding for an invoice. Users with applicable rights can code invoices at any
phase of the process:
• Before the workflow phase in accounts payable
• During the review by the reviewer
• During the approval by the approver
• After the workflow phase in accounts payable
Manual Coding
The coding structure is based on the invoice type configuration which defines the dimensions in use. You
can view all coding for the invoice at the bottom of the invoice page. The required fields are marked with
an asterisk.
Note: An “Invalid code combination” warning will appear if the cost center code is not the same as the
organization (invoice header data field).
Coding Templates
AP users with applicable user rights have access to the Data Management view. Data
Management has separate functions for creating, sharing, and managing coding
templates. Users can save their coding data for later use or create coding examples
for specific suppliers and share them with other users. Each user can view available
coding templates with a preview of coding rows and select the most suitable
template for the existing invoice. When the template is selected, all calculation rules
are triggered to ensure the validity of the data.
