Applying a supplier credit note means recording the credit and allocating it against the bill it reduces, so you pay only the balance.
The IFS Cloud way
Where to find it: Manual Supplier Invoice (credit)
- Return the goods in Purchasing with return type credit or rework
- Enter the supplier credit note in Manual Supplier Invoice
- Use Match PO Receipts so the returned quantity matches the credit note
Limits in IFS Cloud
- Credit and rework return types only work for stored purchase parts. Other parts are posted manually
- Scrapped quantity can be handled at matching when no credit note comes
Words IFS Cloud uses
- Manual Supplier Invoice. The page used to key a supplier invoice with cost postings.
The Pulsify way
- Forward the supplier's credit note to your Pulsify address. Pulsify recognises it as a credit note.
- Pulsify flags a credit note with a missing or unknown original invoice, or an original smaller than the credit.
- Choose the original bill and approve.
- Pulsify creates the credit note in IFS Cloud against the original bill.

What Pulsify does not do here
- Pulsify does not handle partial allocation across several bills.
- Credit note handling is limited to the cases listed above.
Common mistakes
- Using a credit or rework return for a part that is not a stored purchase part.
- Skipping Match PO Receipts, so the returned quantity does not match the credit note.
