Purchase Prepayment Invoice financial Dimension Edit option.
While we are making the Purchase Prepayment invoice, system doesn't allow us to update or add the new Dimension set before posting the invoice. And we don't have an option prior creating the invoice.
Where as system allows the edit option for the Purchase invoice having the line Item type as service or Non inventory Item.
Concern with our Business is.
1) what ever the expense sheet ledger code is been set as department mandatory on the char of account structure, and as we don't have nay pre option to select the finance rejects the invoice to the submitter to update it.
2) Secondly if we want to update the dimension and submit the invoice for approval, we need to first modify the " Confirmed Purchase Order" which is been already signed and send to the vendor.
3) The impact on the above resolution is always there will be revision PO in the system, where the internal auditor will rise multiple question on the same.
Microsoft Suggested as per the standard functionality
1) what ever the dimensions is been set on the Purchase Order header will carry forward to the Invoice lines
2) In my business case, we initiate the Procuring process through the Purchase requisition document, were we update all the dimension set line wise for every single item,
3) But we don't have an option to select in the PR document to update the dimension on the header dimension level to push the same to PO header dimension
4) Once this PR is been submitted it goes to multiple approvals until it gets approved approx. lead time is 10 days
5) Now once the PR is been approved, we have set the workflow to auto generate the Purchase Order and send email to the supplier for the deliveries.
6) Now if we want to update the PO before posting the invoice, we will still struggle with the approval hierarchy. there will be lots of delay in the deliveries and payments
My request is to enable voucher level dimension before posting the invoice, as its already available for the other type of invoice line item.
