IFS cloud 22R2

Hi, 

Nearly every clint I’ve worked with since IFS Apps 7.5 has used the advanced functions provided with the supplier invoice workflow / posting proposal AP solution. 

In this we manage the authorizations on the invoice.   We add sufficient internal controls such that once an invoice is fully authorized and finally posted it is ready for payment. From time to time we may need a separate process to authorize the invoice for payment, but that’s mostly just a click to authorize not a formal authorization process with multiple layers. That was done previously on the invoice. 

You can always segregate the job functions such as user X creates a proposal, user y approves and if OK user y creates the payment order.  You would then only create the order if all good. Or remove what you need to remove before creating the payment order.    

That process would provide very good internal controls.  

Bottom line, typically the multi-layer authorization is done at the invoice, not for the payment.  

Best regards, 

Thomas
