Hi everyone;

Please kindly follow our test plan;

  • Go to prepare work order window & create a new work order;
  • Go to work tasks tab and create a new work task & connect "1A08" to its preposing/cost center code part.
  • In this step, create a new purchase requisition no part in the Requisitions tab;
  • Proceed the purchase requisition until it is converted to purchase order with status:"Closed"
  • Now we create a manual supplier invoice for this purchase order considering the point that we change the cost center from “1A08” to “1C” in the supplier invoice.

It is also important to mention that the related posting control (here Posting Type:TP3) is arranged based control type: “Copy from Source”.

  • Finally, we check the work task accounting vouchers in work task posting analysis window;

Our issue is why cost center column in work task posting analysis represent the cost center entered in work task while it is expected that the cost center entered in supplier invoice voucher be copied to work task vouchers as the control type: ”Copy from Source” is set for posting type:TP3 .

I also sent you the help text of IFS to confirm that the “copy from source” control type should fetch the preposing from supplier invoice;

 

please kindly let me know your advice;

Best Regards

Hi, the logic behind this is that Pre-posting overtakes everything, meaning values retrieved by control types is replaced with the pre-posting.

The mechanism here for creating the code string for the postings is to first process the control types to get all defined values from there, this includes control type “Copy from Source”, after this the values from the pre-posting is set to the code string overriding the values that already might be there.
