Overview

The Requires Carriage setting ensures that documents from a specific supplier include a carriage value. If this setting is turned on and a document is received without a carriage amount, it will automatically be sent to the Alerts page for review.

How It Works

• When Requires Carriage is enabled for a supplier, any document that does not contain a carriage value will be flagged and sent to the Alerts section.

How to Avoid Alerts

To prevent documents from being flagged:

• Make sure the carriage field is correctly captured on the invoice template.
• If using automated capture, verify that carriage is mapped and extracted accurately from incoming documents.

How to Enable

1. Go to the supplier’s Rules panel
2. Toggle on the Requires Carriage option
   
3. Save your changes

With this setting enabled, SmartOffice will enforce carriage validation for all documents from that supplier.
