This SAP release applies to SAP Business ByDesign customers. It keeps PO matching and GL coding closer to the alias values your AP team uses in SAP, so matched lines need less repeated entry.
Field names, line labels, account choices, permissions, and available ERP behavior depend on your entity schema. Your workspace may use a different label for the same kind of work.
What changed
PO aliases on matched lines
SAP purchase order line cards now show the PO's SAP alias, such as an A-XXXX or Z-XXXX code, when SAP provides one. When you match an invoice line to a PO line, Clerked carries the available alias into the matched coding path. For material lines, SAP can derive the GL account from the material's Account Determination Group when the required SAP data is present, so you do not enter the same code twice.
To check the alias on a purchase order, open POs in the left sidebar, select a purchase order, and read GL Account on the relevant line card. To check a matched invoice line, open Invoices, select the invoice, click the Items tab in the right-side panel, and review the PO Line Item match on the line. Match invoice lines to purchase orders explains the matching controls, and Code invoice line items with GL accounts explains how to review coding.
SAP-synced records may already contain these aliases. After you match a line, leave the derived coding in place unless the invoice shows a notice that asks you to review it. If you change the PO-line match, review the resulting coding before approval.
A shorter SAP Chart of Accounts
SAP's Chart of Accounts now uses Account Determination Group aliases rather than every leaf GL code. The picker is shorter, uses the codes your SAP team recognizes, and loads faster.
Open Fields in the left sidebar and click the Chart of Accounts tab to review the available SAP aliases. On an expense line, click Search GL account… in the line's action row on the Expenses tab, then choose the account that matches the SAP coding you need. Fields overview covers the reference-data page, and Code invoice line items with GL accounts covers the line-level picker.
The updated account list arrives through the normal SAP sync. You do not need to build a second list or rename the aliases in Clerked.
How this affects you
For SAP customers, matched PO lines can carry the SAP alias that already describes their coding. Material lines can leave GL derivation to SAP when the material and Account Determination Group data support it. When you review an invoice, spend your time checking the match and the result rather than entering the same SAP code again.
What to do
No release-wide setup change is required. Open a recent SAP PO and a matched invoice, check the GL Account value on the PO line card, then confirm the matched line's coding before approval. Use the shorter Chart of Accounts picker when you need to choose an account manually.
