# How to split a supplier invoice across code parts in IFS Cloud

In IFS Cloud, add one line per project or code part on the supplier invoice, tag each line with code parts and check the lines add up to the invoice total.

Splitting a bill across jobs or cost centres means giving each line of one supplier invoice its own job, department or project so costs land where they belong. In IFS Cloud you do it with code parts.

## The IFS Cloud way

Where to find it: Manual Supplier Invoice > cost postings

1. Open the invoice in Manual Supplier Invoice and add posting lines
2. Give each line its code parts (account, cost centre, project and so on) and an amount
3. Optionally enter a Line ID Ref so each posting line belongs to a specific invoice line
4. The invoice is finally posted when the Balance field is zero

## Limits in IFS Cloud

- Split is by amount on each posting line, not by percentage

## Good to know in IFS Cloud

- Change the Voucher Company on a posting line to spread cost to an affiliated company (multi-company invoice)

## The Pulsify way

1. Forward the supplier's invoice to your Pulsify address. Pulsify reads every row as its own line.
2. Review each line and set its account. Line-item coding learns from how that supplier was coded before.
3. Approve. The supplier invoice is created in IFS Cloud with one line per row.

Pulsify connects to IFS Cloud. We set up the connection for you.

What Pulsify does not do here:

- Pulsify does not split a line by percentage. A shared cost needs separate lines with set amounts.
- Tagging a line to code parts is done in IFS Cloud unless the line already carries it.

## Example in IFS Cloud

Example Steel Supplies sends one supplier invoice for $6,000 before tax. $4,000 is for the workshop and $2,000 is for the Example Bridge project.

- Steel beams: $4,000.00 (Cost centre code part: Example workshop)
- Steel plate: $2,000.00 (Project code part: Example Bridge)

The Balance field reaches zero at $6,000.00, so the invoice can be finally posted.

## Common mistakes

- Posting before the Balance field is zero.
- Skipping Line ID Ref when you need each posting line tied to a specific invoice line.

## Common questions

### Can I split a supplier invoice by percentage?

No. Each posting line takes an amount, so work out the dollar amounts first.

### How do I know the split is complete?

The invoice is finally posted when the Balance field is zero.

### Can I spread cost to another company?

Yes. Change the Voucher Company on a posting line to spread cost to an affiliated company (a multi-company invoice).
