Invoice Payment Import

Overview

The Invoice Payments Import process read files from the ./Incoming/InvoicePayments folder in the SFTP. These files will be moved to the archive folder located at ./Archive/Incoming/InvoicePayments/ before being processed in Alphanumeric order. Flat Files are then transformed to Coupa's XML format.

In the standard integration, a validation routine determines whether a payment has already been applied to an invoice by comparing the payment date, check number, and amount fields to the payment record.

Void/Check Cancelations

The Coupa Integration does not support deleting or voiding a check directly. The best practice in this scenario is to create a new 'payment' for negative the amount of the check to cancel. The check # can be the same or have a string such as 'Void' appended.

Keys/Validations

Coupa finds invoices in approved status and scope based on the following criteria:

  • If the Invoice ID / Number is provided, only the Invoice ID / Number is matched.
  • If the Supplier Name and/or Supplier Number is provided, Coupa searches for the supplier.
    • If a matching supplier is found, Coupa uses the supplier as a filtering criterion.
    • If a matching supplier is not found, Coupa does not include the supplier as part of the scope.
  • If the Invoice Date is provided, Coupa scopes approved invoices to that invoice date.
    • The Invoice Date is needed if a customer reuses the same invoice number for different calendar years.
  • Coupa will create a payment only if exactly one invoice is found from the above queries.

Note: Invoice payments can't be updated via Integration.
