Price Mismatch and Quantity Mismatch

[cima]

Hi all,
I'm facing problems with invoices with status 19(Price Mismatch) and 18 (Quantity Mismatch).
The funny thing is, the price and received quantity of those invoices are the same as their purchase order as other invoices that do not have problem.
Can anybody give me some advice?

Are these FPA items? I think if you change the price on the PO and it is different to the FPA price you will get a mismatch.

How can we know that the items are FPA items?

Have a look on MSF221 - there are a number of fields relating to FPA.

i'm really new to MIMS, forgive me if my question is too basic, can u please describe me what actually FPA stand for?

FPA - Forward Purchase Agreement. It's where the Supply Dept make an agreement with a Supplier for a nominated time and fixed price for an item of inventory. The Supply Dept will ask a number of Suppliers to bid and the winner gets the contract. There is a module in MIMS just for FPA's.

Assuming both invoice item qty and unit price equal the order item qty and unit price, there are other conditions that could still determine a qty or price mismatch to be raised, such as:

1. units of purchase (UOP) code differs
2. the order item is closed or cancelled at the time the invoice is loaded
3. the receipt of the goods (or services) has not been recorded by Stores at the time when Acc Payable enters the invoice
4. supplier number or order number is mismatched
