At present it's easier for us to Mark the PO we issued as billed and save in the invoice PDF against that than it is overwrite the codes (forcing also re-entry of pricing) into the draft bill generated from an eInvoice.
(For us at least) it would be better to use the code and description used in our PO, rather than the one provided in the bill. I realise that creates a matching challenge but codes used by suppliers aren't always useful in our business.
Even if the process at least started by offering a list of our open PO's to that supplier that you could match it with, that would save hunting for the PO.
Next step forward would be to at least bring across the Invoice number from the E-Invoice to a Bill payable created from our PO. Then use the E-invoice total as the total payable so any discrepancy from adding the saved line items from the PO has to be resolved before the Bill can be approved. (Same as when you edit line items in a Bill received and the line item total no longer matches the Billed total.)
