  3. Check the suggestions in Pulsify, change any that are wrong and approve.
  4. The supplier invoice is created in IFS Cloud with the right account on every line.

Common questions

What does pressing Tab do on a posting line?

Pressing Tab in a new posting line shows the pre-posting defaults. You then enter the other code parts and the amount.

What are posting proposals?

Posting proposals hold the coding until it is authorised.

When can I post?

When the Balance is zero. Posting needs a balanced invoice.

Does Pulsify learn how I code?

Yes. Pulsify suggests an account for each line from how that supplier was coded on past bills. You can change any suggestion.
