# IMS Invoice Actions
## Upload Actions
### Step 1: Determine Actions to be taken on IMS Invoices
#### A) Reconciliation Recommendation
1. Check the suggested actions for invoices under the "Reco Action" column. The recommendations are listed under "Reco Action".
2. You can also check the reconciliation match status of that particular invoice under the "Reco Match Status" Column.
3. The reconciliation match status would be used to determine the action recommendations.
| Reconciliation Match Status | IMS Action Recommendation |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------- |
| Match / Accepted / Force Match | Accept |
| Mismatch / Invoice Number or Date Mismatch | Reject |
| Rejected / Probable Match | Reject |
| Not Present in Purchase | Pending |
4. Users can filter the action recommendation based on their requirements.
5. Users can also filter the reconciliation Match status as per the requirements.
#### B) Additional Columns for determination
1. To enhance your analysis, add more columns to the table.
2. Click the arrow beside the "Action" column header, select the desired columns, and click OK to update the table.
### Step 2: Select Invoice and Take actions
Once the required action is determined, the invoice needs to be acted upon.
1. Identify the invoices for which actions are to be taken.
2. Select these invoices by clicking the checkbox next to each invoice.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the invoice table and use the action buttons to perform the necessary actions on the selected invoices.
### Step 3: Upload Invoice Actions to GST Portal IMS

2. Choose the invoices by clicking the checkbox next to each invoice.
3. Click on the "Update to GST" button at the top, to upload the actions taken on invoices to the GST Portal.
4. Check the status of the uploaded invoice in the table listing.
