Dear IFS,

When creating a supplier invoice that references a subcontract, the automatic posting proposal authorization does not trigger - even if the lines are 100% matched with the subcontract certificate valuation. 

This leads to unnecessary manual effort and time loss for the authorizers (every sub contract invoice must be authorized). Workarounds, such as assigning a dedicated authorization group to the subcontract account and automating it via workflow, are ineffective. These would authorize both fully matched cases (desired) and cases with deviations (undesired). Given that large invoice amounts are processed through this flow, our customers perceive this as an audit gap.

This process is comparable to a PO receipt, where a 100% match results in automatic invoice authorization. Please extend this functionality to this subcontract scenario as well.

Several of our customers have raised this request. Please refer to the following IFS community post, where this topic is also discussed.
