Epicor Kinetic Finance & Accounting FAQ

How do you set up automatic receipt matching in Epicor?

Automatic receipt matching in Epicor Kinetic is configured within the AP module's payment and matching settings, aligning incoming supplier invoices to purchase order receipts using tolerance rules you define. It reduces manual invoice review by auto-approving matches within set price and quantity variances. Exact setup screens vary by Kinetic version, so your Epicor support portal or implementation partner is the reliable reference.

Can you run more than one group payment in Epicor?

Group payments in Epicor Kinetic batch multiple supplier invoices into a single payment run. Whether you can process more than one group payment in parallel or per period depends on your Kinetic version and AP configuration; Epicor's finance module is functional but generally rated less deep than SAP or Oracle for complex multi-batch payment workflows, so confirm this behavior with Epicor support.
