Have noticed on the Posting Proposal screen for an invoice which is against a Supplier that is set up with details on ledger that there is the ‘One-Time Specific Information...’  option when RMB on this screen.

 

This appears to allow us to enter new details, Name/address/bank details etc, on a Supplier account that is already set up?

 

Why would that option be available and what would it be used for?

It’s used for suppliers we will not be buying from again, and allows to process purchases, invoices and payments storing only the most improtant information. 

You would usually have one record for “ONE TIME SUPPLIERS” and use that for all suppliers where we only buy from once, so no need to set up a full supplier record for each. And IFS will keep all details of each one off supplier within this one record.

Hi Both,  @IRituma @Shehan Almeida 

 

Thanks for the reply.  My question is different to the set up of a One-Time Supplier ledger (which we now have).

 

This is in relation to an invoice which is registered against a supplier we have set up as a regular and ongoing supplier.  If the invoice is in PrelPosted state, then in the Posting Proposal screen we have an option on RMB menu to access and add One Time Specific Information.  Why would this be need and what would it be used for if the invoice is being processed against an ongoing supplier?

Understood ..I believe that option should not be available for regular suppliers. Maybe it is a bug. Perhaps you can report a support ticket and raise it to RnD.
