Hi,

Is there a way to automatically approve only the advance supplier invoices ?

Thanks.

Hi, 

What is your definition of authorization? 

The authorization could apply to authorize for payment or authorize the posting proposal so that you can finally post the invoice. The authorize postings is only available when using posting proposal. 

If you wish to automatically authorize the advance invoice for payment, then an easy custom event can do this.  Similarly, you could have a custom event to authorize the postings. 

In Cloud 23 R2 - IFS added the ability to skip the posting authorizations for a given supplier. But that will not help you, so I feel the easiest / best way is the custom event. 

If not familiar with custom events, these are simply events that can be created by your IT department. They are not mods. 

Best regards, 

Thomas

Hi @IniVismiM 

Existing Advance Invoice(s) should be manually connected.


Connected Advance Invoice(s) should be Paid/Partly Paid.


Advance Invoices connected to a final Invoice are automatically offset against it when the
final Invoice is posted.


The remaining amount to be paid to settle the final Invoice is equal to the total Invoice
amount less the sum of payments made for the connected Advance Invoices.

 

Further, if you want to automatically approve advance supplier invoices, you need to change one of the basic data setups for the particular supplier, and then you will be able to perform this.

Chanuka

Hi @Chanu_Yazi, I’m checking whether there is a workaround for automatic authorization of specific supplier invoice type (Only Advance Invoices) but not automatic payment proposal.
