What it does
Create a new vendor’s invoice — what a supplier billed you against a purchase at your organization.
CREATE a VendorInvoice: the parent PO past-issue (cancelled/draft/pending refuse CONFLICT/REF_STATE); the billing OrgVendor (defaulted to the PO vendor) ACTIVE; every Money in the PO snapshot currency; at-least-one-of matchLines/actualComponents (the Contact substance stance); each match line names an EXISTING PO line. The (invoiceOrgVendor × normalized invoice number) UNIQ pair mints IN the create transaction — a live (draft or captured) holder refuses CONFLICT/IDENTITY_TAKEN naming it (the double-pay gate); a cancelled holder is taken over.

Returns
VendorInvoice VendorInvoice! — A captured vendor bill: the 3-way match and the landed-cost TRUE-UP run from it at capture. NOT a payables subledger. Parent = the PO (the match is per-PO; N invoices per PO are legal — partial-shipment invoicing); invoiceOrgVendorId MAY differ from the PO vendor: ONE construct covers merchandise invoices (match lines) AND cost bills (landed ACTUAL components) — either or both, never neither. CAPTURE stamps matchStatus matched|flagged at tolerance ZERO (price/qty variance FLAGS, never blocks — the flag IS the approval queue until) and posts the landed true-up (actuals vs the receipts NOT-yet-trued estimates per component type -> cost_true_up value-only movements re-weighting each touched book at its CURRENT cost-bearing quantity; the sold-share stays a reports-only fact — the precedent). The (invoiceOrgVendor x normalized invoice number) UNIQ pair is the double-pay gate (CONFLICT/IDENTITY_TAKEN naming the holder; a cancelled holder is taken over). captured is the immutable fact (corrections are compensating entries, never un-capture); cancelled is the doomed terminal (lists filter it).
