We have setup IFS 10 IE client so there must be two separated acknowledger/authorizer for every supplier invoice. Works fine until we have set a substitute:

User A are acknowledger for Invoice 123

User B are authorizer for invoice 123.

Bur during holiday User B are substitute for User A.

In this case IFS think it’s ok for User B to both acknowledge and authorize the supplier invoice 123.

How can we solve this issue in an easy way?

Hi M.Broback,
For me it looks ok. If User B is a substitute for User A than he can acknowledge the Invoice 123
on behalf of User A. And he can authorize the invoice as User B as he is an authorizer.
Maybe you can find another substitution for User A , who is also acknowledger for the invoice
and not an authorizer.

Hello.

The issue here, if you haven’t already found a solution, is that you have the setting of “two separated acknowledger/authorizer”. The setting you have here makes User B both Acknowledger and Authorizer.

 

This is breaking the rule and also Segregation of Duties.

A user should never be substituting in a way that he is both Acknowledger and Authorizer.
