HOW-TO

How to check supplier invoice lines against agreed supplier prices in IFS Cloud

Short answer

Keep the agreed price list for each supplier outside IFS Cloud. Compare each supplier invoice unit price to the list and query any difference. Update the list when prices change.

Last checked

Checking against agreed prices means comparing the unit price on each invoice line to the price list or quote you agreed with the supplier.

The IFS Cloud way

Where to find it: Match Supplier Invoice with Purchase Order

  1. Matching compares the invoice line with the PO line on order number, part number, quantity and amount
  2. Lines are marked Matched, Matched with Amount Diff, Matched Amount Diff within Tolerance, Matched with Quantity Diff or Unable to Match
  3. Use Price Adjustment Purchase to correct the price on lines already matched

Limits in IFS Cloud

  • Checks against the PO price only. Agreed price lists outside the PO were not found

The Pulsify way

  1. Upload a CSV price list for the supplier in Pulsify. Map the item code, description and unit price columns.
  2. Forward the supplier's invoice. Pulsify compares each line's unit price to the list.
  3. A higher or lower unit price is flagged. A line not on the list is marked.
  4. Approve or query the supplier.

What Pulsify does not do here

  • Pulsify checks unit price only, not quantity.
  • One unit price per item. No price history.
  • A mismatch is a warning and does not block approval.

Common mistakes

  • Treating Matched Amount Diff within Tolerance as an exact match.
  • Expecting a check against a price list that is not on the PO.
