  13. Click Update match status.
  14. On the Action Pane, click Review.
  15. Click Matching details. The new line with services does not need to be matched so the status stays Not performed.
  16. Select the product receipt for the inventory item that you received. The line with the product receipt was matched but there is a mismatch of quantity or price so it fails.
