Most systems are capable of handling various types of invoice processing including non-purchase order based expenses, two-way and three-way voucher matching to purchase orders.

Have you ever seen a system hiccup in the Accounts Payable (A/P) module of JD Edwards? By a system hiccup, we are referring to an incomplete update of the database tables for an action the system user has performed correctly in JDE.
