  • Getting Started with IFS
  • Getting Error " the code part combination on posting line with row id 1 is invalid for authorizer in sequence 10 due to settings in window authorizations combination rules"

I’m new to IFS, and my company is testing the system to transition from external invoice approvals to handling approvals within IFS. We initially tried using the mapping system for automatic routing to approvers and their managers, following our approval limit structure, but it wasn’t successful.

We’ve now moved to a more manual process where we select each approver (or their manager) and have them acknowledge the invoice before moving it to the next person in the approval chain. However, while testing, we encountered this error:
“The code part combination on posting line with row id 1 is invalid for authorizer in sequence 10 due to settings in window authorization combination rules.”

We haven’t used the “Authorization Combination Rules” module before, only the “Authorizing Assigning Rule” and “Authorizer Routing Rule” to set approval limits.

I have a few questions:

  1. Does this manual process require a different setup to avoid this error?
  2. What role does the “sequence” play if we’re not using automated routing?
  3. What specifically does the error mean, and how might we resolve it?

We don’t have an IFS expert in-house, so any insights or guidance from those with experience would be incredibly appreciated.

 

Hi Katrina,

The Authorization Combination Rules are used to set whether users can approve costs to all Accounts and Code Parts, or whether only certain users can approve costs to certain Accounts/Code Parts.

In the Invoice Posting Authorizers screen, there will be an “Authorization Combination Rule ID” against each user, for example:

In the above screenshot, the user IFSAPP is linked to Authorization Combination Rule ID of MAX. Looking in the Authorization Combination Rules screen, it is possible to see that any users who belong to the MAX group can post to all Accounts, all Cost Centres, all Projects etc:

For your error, I would recommend checking which Authorization Combination Rule ID is assigned to the Invoice Posting Authorizer of JACKL, and checking what access to Accounts/Code Parts that the associated Authorization Combination Rule has.
