Client is asking of automatic / systematic way to settle Suppliers Fines in Payables

Hi All,

One of my clients has a business requirement to apply fines to suppliers in accordance with pre-agreed terms. The client is currently using Oracle Fusion ERP, including the Payables module, and is seeking a systematic or automated approach to handle these fines.

At present, the process involves manually calculating the fine and adding a negative line to the AP invoice. However, this method is not efficient and does not work properly for invoices submitted via the Supplier Portal, which limits its scalability and reliability.

Has anyone encountered a similar requirement or implemented a solution to address this?
Any suggestions or best practices to automate the settlement of supplier fines in Payables would be greatly appreciated.
