matching for invoices with reference objects in the
Manage Processing Services app. When you activate the
feature, matching of invoice items and reference object
items automatically occurs within SAP Ariba Central

objects at header level is received. The automatic

invoice descriptions, quantities, and unit price. In the
enhanced Invoice Item section within the Manage
Supplier Invoices Centrally app, it is possible to view
matched invoice and PO items and unmatched invoice
items. You can also manually change the matching
between invoice and PO items as well as create and
assign the invoice items directly to G/L posting items.

This features allows for faster invoice processing by
removing the invoice background processing,
unified and simultaneous processing for invoices
items with and without PO assignment, as well as
increased visibility of invoice items and related
posting items.
