When working with Purchase Orders in the Oracle Apps, we generally hear the word Match Approvals. Even though you all know the definitions of the approval and how they effect the invoice, lot of us stuck when we try to get the details, if we have access to only database.

First we will just have look at what the Match Approvals. Match approval is a rule associated between Purchase Order and the Invoicing. There are three types of Match Approvals,
1. 2-Way - PO Line quantity and Invoice quantity should match
2. 3-Way - PO Line quantity, Received quantity and Invoiced quantity should match
3. 4-Way - PO Line quantity, Received quantity, Accepted quantity and Invoiced quantity should match
