External Supplier Invoice template

Hi,

IFS has three different (what I call sample) supplier invoice templates.  

Typically, I never use them for processing with a client. IMO, we can do better / make the process far easier for each client / usage. 

In external file templates. see the 3 templates for supplier invoices. In that screen, IFS has an option to copy a template. The copy option is available in the templates screen; template screen does not have the copy function. 

For your use case, the template similar in name to STDSIN3, is a good place to start. Copy that template call the new template something meaningful (my template). Then change settings such as the file separator from # maybe to comma, the date format, and the attributes / position of the attribute.  

In other words, fine tune My Template so it matches the data you received from your OCR / file to be loaded.  Depending on file complexity / what you need the process can take a few minutes or considerably more for sophisticated needs. 

This is essentially the same process as an external voucher. We have template STDVOU, but most people would never use that template it has way too many columns for reasonable use. So, we copy that and create my template for the voucher.   For this question, same process, just starting with the supplier invoice template (STDSIN3), and copy that, then fine tune to match your needs.

Best regards, 

Thomas
