Running the Invoice Inbound (INI) Program
Use this transaction to import supplier invoices into your Oracle Payables system
for manual or electronic payment. Using the Payables Open Interface, you can
accomplish high-volume invoice import complete with all standard online invoice
entry features, including purchase order matching, invoice approval, and invoice
batch processing.
Prerequisite Setup in Oracle Payables
You can optionally set up an Invoice Hold Reason unique to this transaction. All
invoices being imported into Payables may be placed on hold using the unique
Invoice Hold Reason. This may be useful during implementation of a new trading
partner to separate electronic invoices from other invoices in your Payables system.
To define an invoice hold reason, use the Invoice Approvals window.
