I am assuming this is not an option but thought I would put it on here for clarification or possible other ideas.

Is there a way to add pre posting data on the Supplier Agreement line instead of having to put it on the PO each time we do a release?

I wanted to test setting up our monthly utilities on a blanket purchase order and do releases.  But, there needs to be pre posting added to get the posting controls correct.

Currently on IFS Cloud 23.R1 SU 5.

Hi ​@TTRACY,

As you know, we can't store pre-posting on the Supplier Agreement line right now. I bounced this off Cursor to see what our options are, and while it threw out a bunch of ideas, these two actually make the most sense for me.

  • Review Accounting Rules

    If the same code parts always apply (e.g. a fixed cost center for utilities), check whether Posting Control rules can derive those values so mandatory pre-posting is not required on every release. That depends on which code parts your company mandates.

  • Copy a previous release PO

    Copy last month’s release PO — pre-posting copies with it — then adjust quantity/amount/dates. Faster than re-keying, but still manual.

For sure, these suggestions are not workaround.

regards,

Piyal
