- In USAS-R, ensure theEIS Classic Integration Module is installed as well as the EIS Classic Integration Configuration's pending threshold criteria is set up. Both should have been completed as part of your USAS migration (USAS-R Post Import steps). Once in place, when a PO item meets the pending threshold (during AP Invoice processing), it will be marked for inventory and may pulled into the pending file using 'Pull from USAS'. NOTE: The EIS Classic Integration Configuration setup is specific to flagging items when invoiced via USAS-R. Districts invoicing through a third party application should check with their third party to see if there is additional setup needed to flag invoice items for inventory.
