How can automatic invoice approval occur? Select two.

The correct choice indicates that automatic invoice approval can occur when the buyer updates the prices after the invoice was initially blocked due to discrepancies. In scenarios where an invoice is blocked because of price discrepancies, if the buyer takes corrective action by updating the prices in the system so that they now match the purchase order, the invoice can then proceed to be approved automatically. This reflects the dynamic nature of invoice management, where timely interventions can resolve discrepancies and facilitate smoother approval processes.

In contrast, other scenarios presented do not typically allow for automatic invoice approval. For example, when an invoice is blocked due to quantity discrepancies, it generally requires manual review and resolution to ensure accuracy in quantities delivered versus those ordered. Similarly, if the invoice is blocked because the due date is earlier than the order date, this indicates a fundamental issue in the supply chain process that also necessitates manual handling. Lastly, while automatic approval without checks can happen under normal circumstances, it does not apply to cases where there are discrepancies or other issues that would normally require validation. Thus, the intervention by the buyer to correct price discrepancies allows for an efficient mechanism to achieve automatic approval under the right conditions.
