Article summary

This article is part of Smart Ops AP invoices and covers the AP Invoice Template. 

Users with the appropriate permissions can create AP invoice templates for non-integrated vendors. When an AP invoice template is used on an AP invoice, the vendor, location, and items on the template will automatically be added to the AP invoice form. Using AP invoice templates allows for more efficient and accurate AP invoice entry.

All existing, non-scheduled memorized templates for AP invoices that were created for non-integrated vendors within the Classic R365 Experience will automatically be available for use on a Smart Ops AP invoice. Additionally, an AP invoice template created within Smart Ops will be available for use within the Classic R365 Experience.
