Receive Web Services Invoice

Explanation

This activity is used to load external supplier invoices into the external supplier invoice interface using a Web Services message. This activity is not performed in any window in IFS Cloud, it requires basic data in IFS/Internet Transaction Services, IFS/Connect, and IFS/Enterprise. 

Prerequisites

• Basic data must have been set up in IFS/Internet Transaction Services.
• Basic data must have been set up in IFS/Connect.
• Basic data must have been set up in IFS/Enterprise.
• Basic data must have been set up in IFS/Invoice. One of these basic data parameters is called Invoice Load Type. It defines the load type that is to be used to get a default invoice type for the EDI load. The parameter Automatic EDI Approval controls whether EDI invoices should be checked and supplier invoices created in IFS/Invoice immediately after load. Note that for a load type, it is possible to define how the Check and Create steps are handled for external supplier invoices. However, these settings do not apply to EDI invoices even if a load type is specified in the EDI basic data. 

System Effects

As a result of this activity, web service-based external supplier invoices will be loaded into the external interface for supplier invoices. 

The external invoices can now be examined, checked, and corrected. The final step is that supplier invoices can be created in IFS/Invoice. Note that if the basic data parameter Automatic EDI Approval is selected, both the Check and Create steps will be executed automatically after load. If any errors occur in the Check or Create steps, then the external interface windows can be used to correct the incorrect data, and to manually perform the required steps.
