We are currently using IFS Applications 10 (UDP 10), and we would like clarification on how to properly handle "Other Charges" such as Customs Duty that are invoiced by a different supplier than the one supplying the goods on the Purchase Order.
Scenario:
Goods are ordered from Supplier A via a standard Purchase Order.
Customs Duty is incurred as an "Other Charge" on the PO.
The duty is invoiced separately by Supplier B (e.g. a customs broker or freight forwarder).
We want the customs cost to be included in inventory valuation and cost of goods, but the actual invoice is from a different supplier than on the PO.
Questions:
What is the recommended way in IFS Applications 10 to:
Add such "Other Charges" to a PO?
Ensure correct accounting and costing (including inventory value)?
Book the customs invoice from Supplier B correctly?
Is there a standard process or best practice for this scenario (e.g. use of manual supplier invoices, linking to posting control, or landed cost configuration)?
