Dear all,
I am trying to understand the logic of the supplier offest proposal. IFS offers 5 options to offset the open items.
First question is how does IFS knows which invoices should be offset with which SUPOA. Is it just the amounts?
Here are my results from my testing's, with regards to the options.
- Match all open items. This is only working, if I enter an extra ordinary “Allowed Difference” amount.
- Match Single Debit and Credit item: IFS matches the amounts regarding the amounts. Fine for me, that is the way how it supposed to be.
- Match Single Debit with more credit items: Fine for me, that is the way how it supposed to be. Same as number 2.
- Match Open Items with common Invoice Reference:
- Invoice Reference
- PO Reference
- Payment Reference
- Creators Reference
What is needed that IFS matches exactly the supplier invoice and the payment against each other?
For supplier invoices, I understood that the Invoice Reference should be the “Invoice No” and for Payment Reference the “Payment Reference” in IFS.
I have two items with the Payment Reference 999 and you can see it in the manual offset Option.
But later in the Offset items list the payment reference is gone. Seems to be that IFS does not recognize it at all.
If i try to choose the payment reference option directly, there are no open items.
Can somebody help me to explain me how to set a unique “offset” identifier, that IFS offset the correct open items?
IFS Cloud 24.1.2.
Thank you,
Benjamin
