Matching Hold Rule: Price Variance

Additional information on the PO line missing rule.

If the difference between the two numbers is within the accepted dollar and percentage tolerances set then, the invoice will pass through. If it is outside of the tolerance set, then the invoice will hold and be sent to the directed to user assigned.
