Document Usage Guidance

  • This document lists all of the possible messages and errors that can be returned to the Auto AP Invoice Review screen or sent as an email.

  • Emails and review screen messages can contain multiple messages shown here.

  • A review screen record corresponds to a single Kofax job and a single Epicor invoice.

  • Any error/message with Please contact IT staff attached to the end is not part of normal processing and suggests there is a technical problem to be solved.

  • Data fields and variables used in errors/messages are encapsulated with curly brackets.

KEY

ex.Message = the message portion of the exception returned by the matching algorithm.

EMAIL

MESSAGE

No uninvoiced receipts found

INFO

This error occurs when the matching algorithm is building the list of receipts for matching but can't find any uninvoiced receipts. This should be rare as it is the second time the check is performed.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

No remaining receipt lines after filtering

INFO

After building a raw list of receipt lines for matching it filters the date down to only valid choices (e.g. matches the PONum provided and standalone value is less than the upper limit of matching target).

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

A combination of receipts cannot be found if zero value receipt lines exist

INFO

A receipt line with a total value of zero exists in the list of valid lines for matching, there is no way for the algorithm to determine if this line should be receipted. Therefore it throws this error.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Unexpected error occurred during line match up: mAPUninvoicedRcptLines null. Please contact IT staff.

INFO

An errored occurred while the matching algorithm was running. This suggests a technical problem and is not part of normal processing.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Multiple single lines can match within variance total.

INFO

There are multiple single line values that are valid choices to match with.

For example:

  • The ingested target is 100.

  • The UpLimit is 10%

  • The DownLimit is 10%

  • Therefore, the valid range for matching is 90-110.

  • One receipt line value is 91.

  • And another receipt line value is 109.

  • There is no way for the matching algorithm to know which is correct, so it returns this error.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Too many possible receipts ({APUninvoicedRcptLinesList.Count}>{apUDParams.MaxSampleSize}), please manually process this invoice.

INFO

The number of candidate receipt lines is greater than the configured maximum.

KEY

APUninvoicedRcptLinesList.Count = the number of candidate receipt lines.

apUDParams.MaxSampleSize = the configured maximum number of receipt lines that can be used as candidates simultaneously.

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Down Limit: {_p.DownLimit} is bigger than set sum {setsum}, no solutions exists

INFO

The total value of all the candidate receipt lines added together is less than the bottom of the valid total range.

  • The ingested target is 100.

  • The DownLimit is 10%

  • Therefore, the valid range for matching is 90-100.

  • One receipt line value is 40

  • And another receipt line value is 45

  • The total value is 85, this is less than the bottom of the valid range, so it returns this error

KEY

_p.DownLimit = the bottom of the valid total range.

setsum = the total value of all candidate receipt lines added together.

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Recursion algorithm timed out.

INFO

The matching algorithm took longer than allowed.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

No match could be found

INFO

The matching algorithm searched all possible candidates but could not find a combination of receipts that total was within the valid range.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

More than one match can be found

INFO

The matching algorithm searched all possible candidates and found multiple combinations of receipts that total was within the valid range. However, it has no way to determine which is the correct combination.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Cannot parse matching results.

INFO

Process could not parse the results returned by the matching algorithm. This suggests a technical problem and is not part of normal processing.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

No valid receipt lines found

INFO

The receipt lines returned by the matching algorithm are invalid. This suggests a technical problem and is not part of normal processing.

KEY

N/A

EMAIL

MESSAGE

INVOICE HEADER CREATED - Matching Error. Please manually complete invoice ({opError})

INFO

The matching algorithm has returned an error but the process has created an invoice header to work from.

KEY

opError = error returned by the matching algorithm.

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Gross target total ({ipHeader.GrossVendorAmt}) is greater than the created total ({ipHeader.MatchedAmt}) but within variance.

INFO

The target total is greater than the created total but still within variance.

KEY

ipHeader.GrossVendorAmt= ingested target total, including tax.

ipHeader.MatchedAmt = total value of created invoice.

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Gross target total ({ipHeader.GrossVendorAmt}) is less than the created total ({ipHeader.MatchedAmt}) but within variance.

INFO

The target total is less than the created total but still within variance.

KEY

ipHeader.GrossVendorAmt= ingested target total, including tax.

ipHeader.MatchedAmt = total value of created invoice.

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Created total ({ipHeader.GrossVendorAmt}) is above variance limit ({upLimit}). Please review tax configuration and post.

INFO

When a match has been found an invoice is created with the matched receipt lines.

The process then calculates a upLimit and downLimit based on the total of the created invoice and configured tolerance levels. This upLimit and downLimit create a new valid range. The process then checks if the ingested gross total is in this range, if it is above that range it returns this error.

The error points towards the tax configuration, as the automated process created the lines without tax, allowing Epicor's tax engine to calculate the tax. So, a discrepancy in the tax configuration is a likely cause for the variance.

For example:

  • An invoice is created with a gross total of 100.

  • The top variance is configured to 5%.

  • The valid range is 100-105.

  • The ingested gross total was 107.

  • This error is thrown.

KEY

ipHeader.GrossVendorAmt = ingested target total, including tax.

upLimit = the top of the valid total value range.

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Invoice total ({ipHeader.GrossVendorAmt}) is below variance limit ({downLimit}). Please review tax configuration and post.

INFO

When a match has been found an invoice is created with the matched receipt lines.

The process then calculates a upLimit and downLimit based on the total of the created invoice and configured tolerance levels. This upLimit and downLimit create a new valid range. The process then checks if the ingested gross total is in this range, if it is below that range it returns this error.

The error points towards the tax configuration, as the automated process created the lines without tax, allowing Epicor's tax engine to calculate the tax. So, a discrepancy in the tax configuration is a likely cause for the variance.

For example:

  • An invoice is created with a gross total of 100.

  • The down variance is configured to 10%.

  • The valid range is 90-100.

  • The ingested gross total was 88.

  • This error is thrown.

KEY

pHeader.GrossVendorAmt = ingested target total, including tax.

downLimit = the bottom of the valid total value range

EMAIL

MESSAGE

Error filling variance gap, please manually complete invoice

INFO

If the created total value of an invoice does not exactly match the ingested total but is within variance, the process modifies one of the lines to make the total of the created invoice match the ingested total.

This message is returned when Epicor returns an error during this transaction. This suggests a technical problem and is not part of normal processing.

KEY
