what is the Match Bill to Receipt field used for on PO forms

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The "Match Bill to Receipt" field on Purchase Order (PO) forms in NetSuite is used to enforce a three-way matching process for vendor bills. This process involves matching the information on the purchase order, the received items, and the vendor bill to ensure that they all correspond before the bill is paid. When the "Match Bill to Receipt" field is checked, it means that the system will require an item receipt for the items on the bill. This is useful in scenarios where you have multiple lines on a PO and you only want to bill for the items that have been received. For example, if you have 20 lines on a PO and you only received 2, checking the "Match Bill to Receipt" field will ensure that you only bill for the 2 received lines. This can save time and prevent errors, especially for large POs where manually zeroing out quantities or removing lines can be cumbersome. However, it's important to note that a Purchase Order must always exist to link item receipts with bills. The typical sequence is that you have a PO, it gets item received for a certain quantity, and then you can bill the PO. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
