Automated Charge & No-Part Line Creation

Adds freight, service, and other non-part charge lines to a Purchase Order automatically.

Core Domain: Supply Chain Management

Supported Digital Worker: Supplier Invoicing Manager (SIM)

Overview

Adds No-Part Lines for services and miscellaneous items, and Charge Lines for costs such as freight, packaging, and handling, to an existing Purchase Order in IFS Cloud. The skill uses provided line information together with applicable IFS Cloud defaults and validation responses to create the required PO lines.

Business Challenge

Supplier invoices frequently contain freight, taxes, packaging, service fees, environmental charges, and other non-inventory items that do not match existing PO lines. AP teams manually create charge lines and no-part lines, causing invoice processing delays.
