This really flies in the face of the traditional 3-way match done under
usual and customary accounting practices, i.e., the open PO is matched
against a receiving document which are both matched against an invoice. When
a company moves into an electronic messaging mode their internal
accounting/general ledger system should perform this 3-way match
electronically. It really boggles my mind to hear that a customer wants you
to hold up transmitting an invoice electronically until the goods have been
received at their DC. Do you do this now when you mail a paper invoice?
Probably not. Your customer just holds the paper invoice and matches it
against the open PO and receiving document in a manual process.
I would strongly resist getting into this kind of craziness!

My company receives 810's by EDI, have an idea for you to think about. We
have a waiting period before processing invoices on our system. We process
invoices 6 days later to give time for supplies to be received first.
Today's mainframe invoice job: copies 5-day-old file to file to be processed
today; copies 4-day-old file to 5-day-old file, copies 3-day-old file to
4-day-old file, etc. Here are parts of our jcl:
