Payable Invoice Line Volumes

You can process payable invoices with up to 9,980 lines using Lightning Experience.

Warning:
The maximum supported number of payable invoice lines depends on the other Accounting features enabled in your org and on their complexity. For example:

Intercompany Accounts or Intercompany Accounts Receivable (A/R).
A local chart of accounts structure.
Avalara AvaTax external tax calculation.
The Primary (Live) Update balance type. To achieve higher document line volumes, use the Primary (On Demand) Update Balance type. For more information, see About Balance Update.
Any custom processes or integrations related to the payable invoices in the org.
Note that Salesforce limits the number of lines processed in a single operation to 10,000.

Additionally, you can use Datastream to bulk-load payable invoices with up to 9,980 lines from a spreadsheet. For more information about Datastream, see Datastream Overview.

This table shows the achievable number of payable invoice lines, depending on their type and the additional features enabled.

Note:
The achievable number of lines may vary depending on your org's configuration and the factors mentioned above.

The following table details limits when posting expenses lines with allocation rules assigned. Create, discard, amend, and other process limits are not changed when applying allocation rules.

This table assumes each expense line creates 10 transaction line items when posting. For example, 150 expense lines creating 1500 transaction line items is supported in synchronous posting.

Notes:

Synchronous posting occurs when you post an "In Progress" payable invoice immediately using the Post button. For more information about synchronous posting, see the PIN lines threshold field descriptions in Accounting Settings.
Asynchronous posting occurs when you use the Background Posting Scheduler to post payable invoices with the following statuses:
- Ready to Post
- Ready to Post and Match

For more information about the Background Posting Scheduler, see About the Background Posting Scheduler.
