# 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.

#### **How this skill fits into the workflow for:**

#### Decision Logic / HITL

* Reuse existing charge line when available
* Create new charge/no-part line when missing
* Route to HITL for: unknown categories, duplicate charges, ambiguous mappings, and high value charges requiring review

#### Business Value

* Faster invoice matching
* Reduced AP effort
* Improved accounting accuracy
* Standardized charge categorization
* Reduced invoice exceptions

#### Key Capabilities

* Existing purchase order retrieval
* No-Part Line creation
* Charge Line creation
* Pricing and quantity processing
* HITL confirmation before saving
* Created line reference reporting
