Ignore supplier validation

If you have selected supplier validation in the Supplier ledger preferences (AP101000) window, you can update or ignore the supplier details in the Invoice Inbox (AP50604S) and Invoice inbox - overview (AP40106S) windows.

The steps below provide an example of a situation where the system suggests an update, but you want to ignore it.

1. You have received an invoice in the Invoice Inbox (AP50604S) with the status New. The supplier is either recognised or unrecognised, and some information has changed or is missing, for example, the bank account or the address.
2. On the invoice line, you see the warning symbol , and in the Supplier difference status column, you see the message Supplier update is required.
3. To avoid updating data according to the supplier validation, click Ignore supplier validation.

If you have selected Ignore supplier validation in the Invoice Inbox (AP50604S) or Invoice inbox - overview (AP40106S) window, you can undo your selection in the Suppliers (AP303000) window later: On the General settings tab, go to the Invoice import settings section and select Ignore validation during import of invoices.
