Posting line template tokens

The posting line text template accepts %-prefixed tokens that Nordflow replaces with document data when posting to the ERP.

Available tokens

TokenWhat it inserts
%supplier_nameThe supplier’s name. This is the default when no template is set.
%invoice_numberThe supplier’s invoice number captured from the document.
%line_numberThe line’s position in the document (1, 2, 3 …). Useful when a document has multiple accounting lines and you want each uniquely identifiable in the ERP.
%order_numberThe PO number captured from the invoice, if one was found. Useful for order-matching customers.

Combining tokens

You can combine tokens with each other and with literal text. Examples:

  • %invoice_number %supplier_name — shows invoice number then supplier name
  • %invoice_number %supplier_name L%line_number — adds a line indicator for multi-line invoices
  • %invoice_number %order_number %supplier_name — includes the PO number

Length

Your ERP imposes its own character limit on posting line descriptions. Keep templates focused so the ledger stays readable.

Posting line text vs payment text

Both templates use similar tokens but serve different audiences:

  • Payment text — the message on a bank transfer. The supplier sees this when reconciling a payment.
  • Posting line text — the description on each ERP accounting line. Your accountants and auditors see this in the ledger.
