This utility is used to import invoice transactions into SpendMap to reduce data entry and accelerate the invoice approval process in cases where invoice data can be provided by another system (e.g. from your suppliers).

When invoice transactions are imported, they will reside in the Invoice Staging Batch until they are matched to Purchase Orders and processed with Process Imported Invoices.

Besides the invoice information itself (e.g. invoice number, dollar amounts, etc.), other fields can be imported to help locate the applicable Purchase Orders and receipts (Packing Slips) in the system. The more data/fields you import, the more likely SpendMap will be to automatically find the applicable POs and receipts and, therefore, the less chance there will be that the user has to manually select transactions to match the invoice to when processing the imported invoices. So please review the notes associated with each field in the import configuration utility for a detailed explanation of the field requirements and features.
