What's New

This release introduces the Supplier Invoicing Manager Digital Worker, a new autonomous worker that helps manage the supplier invoice lifecycle from intake to posting readiness with minimal manual effort and strong financial control.

It combines agentic automation with human oversight to keep invoice processing efficient, controlled, and auditable, while giving teams full visibility into actions and decisions across the process.

This release also supports both IFS Cloud and IFS Applications 10 (Apps10), enabling broader adoption across ERP environments.

What’s new at a glance:

• Automated Invoice Intake & Parsing captures incoming invoices and extracts key supplier and invoice data for downstream processing.

• 3-Way Match Engine validates invoice lines against purchase orders and receipts to confirm alignment.

• Charge & Variance Interpretation analyzes charges and identifies variances to help distinguish acceptable differences from true exceptions.

• Exception Handling routes relevant financial exceptions for human-in-the-loop review.

• Invoice Posting & Financial Update prepares clean, in-tolerance invoices for posting and supports downstream financial updates.

• Delivers end-to-end visibility and auditability through the ERP and IFS Loops Agentic Studio.
