In IFS Cloud, a supplier has several address IDs, each with its own tax code maintained under Delivery Tax Information, and the "Use Supplier Address for Tax" option is enabled on both addresses. The goal is for a manual supplier invoice to use a different tax code depending on the supplier invoice address ID.

In practice, whenever a manual supplier invoice is created, the system applies the tax codes of the address ID that is set as the supplier's default delivery address. How can the invoice be made to use the tax code of a different address?

Technical details Product: IFS Cloud (version not stated). Area: Supplier Invoices, manual supplier invoice. Setup: supplier address IDs with tax codes under Delivery Tax Information; option "Use Supplier Address for Tax" enabled; one address is the default delivery address.

Suggested approach (from an IFS employee reply; not marked as best answer and not confirmed by the poster):

How it works: on supplier invoices, the tax code taken from the address fields follows the goods, meaning the delivery address. If the supplier has a default delivery address, the invoice receives the default tax code connected to that address.

For a manual supplier invoice that is not connected to a purchase order:

  1. Open the supplier invoice and go to More Information.
  2. Set the correct delivery address for this invoice.
  3. The invoice then picks up the tax code set up on the supplier for that delivery address.

When a purchase order is connected to the supplier invoice, which is the usual case, the delivery address comes from the purchase order and updates the supplier invoice fields automatically.

Related note from a later partner reply: default tax codes can be maintained in two places, and using both is a common cause of double tax calculation in Europe, so use only one of them. A separate question in the thread about a read-only tax code field on the supplier's Invoice tab was not resolved; one partner suspected a Page Designer modification.

Prerequisites and limitations IFS Cloud; version not stated in the thread. Address-level tax codes must be set up under Delivery Tax Information with "Use Supplier Address for Tax" enabled. The More Information change applies to manual supplier invoices; for invoices connected to a purchase order, the delivery address comes from the order. The explanation was not confirmed by the poster.
