Invoice Validation
Submit the Oracle Payables 'Invoice Validation' concurrent request to generate the invoice distributions in the workbench.
This concurrent request must be completed before the 'Refresh' step below is commenced.
Refresh
IMPORTANT
The Refresh button in this DFF scenario will first update AP Invoice Wizard with import statuses, messages and Id's and then load the Invoice Distribution DFF values and attachments if the applicable 'Yes' response to the message below is received:
Note - If 'Refresh' is not clicked, the Distribution DFF values
will not be in the Payables Invoice Workbench.
The Invoice will have DFF's loaded at the Invoice Lines during the initial import and at the Distribution Level, after the Payables Invoice validation and Wizard 'Refresh' processes have been completed.
