Hi,
The purchase module has a feature called 3-way matching.3-Way matching functionality comes in handy to determine the validity of the vendor bill and to determine whether it should be paid.
The feature allows you to compare the data appearing on the purchase order, receipt, and vendor's bill. It also prevents the customer from paying fake vendor bills. Firstly we have to enable it from the settings of the Purchase Module.
Go to Purchase - Configuration - Settings - Invoicing - 3-way matching: purchases, receptions, and bills Then click the “Save” button.
When we activate this option in the settings, data will be updated in the vendor bill, whether the bill should be paid or not.You can also refer to the video.
Regards
Hello Achraf
You need to activate the 3-way matching feature from settings. Once you activate it and order 3 units but receive 2 units
->status will be "should be paid" if you do not create a back order
->status will be "Exception" if you create a backorder, which will change to "should be paid" if you go to receipt and receive the remaining units
Thanks,

Hello Achraf,
thank you for the question.
I had the same doubt and think the answer that is flagged as correct in the quiz is wrong too.
Even if a backorder is created the status for "should be paid" should be "yes" since the invoiced quantity of 2 meets the received quantity of 2. My intuition for a backorder is that the original PO is split to separate PO's. The remainder of the original PO is set as the quantity for the new PO.
If no backorder is created the remaining quantity is cancelled - therefore no problem too.
So in both cases everything should work fine.
Anyways happy to see that I was not the only one to struggle with this answer. :)
Best regards,
Lars
