Viewing Discrepancies with Negotiated Price Lists
You can see where exactly the mismatch appears and the reason for the mismatch:
Contact your ServiceChannel manager to have the mismatch reasons on invoice details.
Additionally, you can view the number of invoices with discrepancies in Analytics. This data may help you to identify areas of invoice process improvement.
All material, other prices, and markup % above the agreed numbers will be marked with a Warning
icon.
If you set up both Client Rates and Negotiated Price Lists, the validation will be performed through the prices in the negotiated lists first.
Price Mismatch on Mobile Invoices
