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 an operations AP invoice. Additionally, an AP invoice template created within operations will be available for use within the Classic R365 Experience. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-PC61UKM3.png) --- ## Security **Inventory app AP Invoice Templates permissions are found in the permission tree as follows:** - Food - AP Invoice Templates - View Invoice Templates - Edit Invoice Templates - Create Invoice Templates - Use Invoice Templates - Delete Invoice Templates > [!WARNING] > These permissions only apply to the AP Invoices within the **Inventory app**.
