Hello everyone,

One more question about how you deal with the following challenge in IFS.

 

A brief explanation: The cut-off check (period accrual) ensures that sales revenues are recorded in the correct fiscal year based on the realization principle. To do this, auditors analyze invoices, delivery notes (Incoterms), and acceptance reports shortly before and after the cut-off date to verify the transfer of risk or completion of performance.

 

Now, these corrections resulting from the audit must also be processed in IFS. We face the challenge that our sales controlling requires the correction at the customer and item level. To ensure this, we use the instant invoice in IFS. This gives us clean data and the tax book remains untouched. The original invoice is not allowed to disappear from the books.

 

However, the process is manual and tedious.

 

How do you solve this?
