How to see Purchasing DFF 'PO Line Locations' from PBWC for a GBPA

Flex definition is enabled in GBPA line details page and it is enabled only for "Details" region. "Price Break" region do not have DFF enabled, and that is the reason why "Flex" field is not visible in the personalization page of "Price Break".
If there are any DFF need to be added for GBPA Line details, They sholuld be added in the "Details" Region Only.

Steps need to perform are:
1. Personalize the table PriceBreaksTable in AgreementLineDetailsPG.
2. Add a new column and column header to the table.
3. In the new column add a component of type flex, and provide required details like DFF name, entity name, etc.

Note that DFF in an advanced table has some limitations. Check the framework guide for details.

What is 2-way, 3-way, 4-way matching? How is this set-up?

2-way matching verifies that Purchase order and invoice information match within your tolerances as follows: 
Quantity billed <= Quantity Ordered 
Invoice price <= Purchase order price 
(<= sign is used because of tolerances) 

3-way matching verifies that the receipt and invoice information match with the quantity tolerances defined: 
Quantity billed <= Quantity received 

4-way matching verifies that acceptance documents and invoice information match within the quantity tolerances defined:
