  • Advance supplier invoice payments do not get automatically fetched to the Supplier Payment Proposals window. (RMB and Create Supplier Proposal in Supplier Payment Proposals window)
  • Can we know whether this functionality would be available/considered in future developments of the IFS application?

Note: Advance supplier invoice payments can be added to the supplier payment proposal manually from LOV.

Hello Ishara.

First question, is the advance supplier invoice authorized for payments?

Yes. After we made the payment for advance supplier payment it will create a SUPIA. But it will not get automatically fetched to the Supplier Payment Proposals.

Hi Ishara,

In most of the cases. the advance payments created as a result of advance invoice payments are to be offset with final invoices.

So these ledger items have delibrately been removed from fetching into supplier payment proposals. However, if a pertcular user wants it to be specfically inlcuded in a proposal to match with a postive ledger item( For general offsetting purpose), prior to creating the order, that is possible by manually adding such.

The question is why you or your customer want to chnage this default behaviour.. ? Why the adavnce invoices connected payment in advances are to be fetched for payment proposals automatically. ?

Do you have a valid business scenario ? 

Best Regards,

Have you selected to include advanced invoices (it will look slightly different in IEE but same process)?

Hi Chirantha,

 

The business scenario is that, the customer has some advance supplier payments (SUPIA payments) with open value (SUPIA payment is greater than the final supplier invoice value). Then the customer wants to offset that excess amount with other supplier invoices for the same supplier.   

 

Thanks, and Best Regards

Hi Christy,

 

‘Include Advanced Invoices’ option has been selected. But the scenario is that Advance Supplier Payment, not the advance invoices. 

 

Thanks, and Best Regards

Hi Christy,

 

That option also has been selected when creating the supplier payment proposal.

I would suggest a manual offset of the credit against an open invoice.

Hi Ishara,

 

I have raised this query with IFS who have said they have deliberately removed advance supplier payments from appearing in the payment proposals.

We can add them manually but if you are like my company we would like this process to be automated without the risk of advance final invoices being paid twice

If IFS are not going to add this functionality back into the payment proposal then they should look to automate the matching of the final invoice to the advance payment on account when the invoice is matched and finally posted

 

Thanks

Why are they excluded if the option is on the payment proposal?
