Hi everyone,In IFS, customer receivables are currently linked to the ordering customer. We need them to be linked to the payer instead.Has anyone configured this before? Is there a standard setup, or does it require a customization?Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi What settings need to be configured in order to be able to forward a report from the report archive?Kerstin

Is there a way to fetch vat code from PO when matching with supplier invoice, instead of from the supplier?An example, when purchase order direct/triangulation is used, the supplier of goods (supplier vat code E1) is used both in triangulation (vat code E5) and normal POs (E1). As of now I can’t find a way to see if the invoice is part of a triangulation in External Supplier Invoices nor can I select that vat code should be fetched from PO (to match the vat code on customer order, customer invoice and purchase order) instead from the supplier when matching. How or why not?

Hi all,Users are required to send E-Invoices including invoices images based on their custom layouts but when processing an e-invoice it always picks the default/standard print layout and generates the xml.There are layouts made based on different country requirements and need to set it up against each company print and currently when trying to send e-invoice there is no option to select it. Is there a way to achieve this or any alternative solutions?Appreciate your answers and suggestions.Thank you.

It is possible to copy a business plan, with planning units, planning rules and planning unit transactions, as budget, to a forecast. However when using the copy business plan to a new year the planning transactions are not copied. Is there a way? If no, why? Today we have to use either migration jobs or external files to import new budget.

Hi,In the documentation in below topic it is mentioned  that the DTD file (GDPDU-01-08-2002.DTD) is delivered by IFS.https://community.ifs.com/finance-financials-42/questions-on-german-localization-gdpdu-8579Does any one know how to generate this file?I can get the data extracts using Audit Interface Assistant. Not sure how to get this DTD file.ThanksGayan  

Good day, We are finding instances where, on the Customer Analysis screen (Financials-Accounts Receivable-Customer Analysis) searching populates the correct customer in header but has different customer details in the 'Ledger Items's tab.Has anyone encountered this or similar in Cloud?   

Issue: Today we are using the IFS service contract module. In the module we are allowed to create an order with both Charge Lines and Debit Lines.We are now replacing the service contract module with a stand alone Subscription tool and then only sent an “invoice file” to IFS, and then IFS creates an order from the information in that file.Because we are not using the service contract module, we are not allowed to create a normal order with both Charge Lines and Debit Lines.Do you have any workaround for this, so I am able to create the order ? 

We have identified a discrepancy between the PO amount and the amount available in Match PO Receipts.For PO S1373, the total PO amount is 5,412.95, while the total receipt matching amount is 5,413.05, resulting in a difference of 0.10. The quantities and unit prices are identical on both the PO and the receipts.After analysing the documents, it seems that the difference is caused by rounding at receipt level. One PO line has a quantity of 5,000 and a unit price of 0.2917, but the receipts were created in multiple transactions of 250 units each. The individual receipt amounts appear to be rounded before being accumulated, generating a total difference of 0.10.Could you please confirm if this is expected IFS behaviour and advise whether there is any configuration available to avoid or reduce these accumulated rounding differences during PO receipt matching?

Hi,I am working with IFS Cloud and the operational report CUST_AGE_ANALYSIS_REP.The report stores the generated data in a result table, and I have created a Quick Report based on this table. I now need to add two columns that are available in Customer Analysis: Open Amount Currency However, these fields are not stored in the result table generated by CUST_AGE_ANALYSIS_REP, so they are not available as columns in the Quick Report.What would be the recommended approach in this case? 

Hi Finance experts,We have added Identity Type (Customer/Supplier type) and Identity(Customer ID/Supplier ID) to voucher_row_tab via a Modification. Now there is a requirement to modify External File Templates STDVOU/STDVOU2 to update above values.I believe this is a Modification but I would like to know1. Is this a complex modification requires changes in multiple places?2.Is it a good practice to change STDVOU/STDVOU2 templates?3. Do we have any other alternative options like Configuration instead of a Modification to achive this?

We are setting up BACs file with new bank, have set up a new cash account in IFS and also a Payment instituteHow do I connect these, as I cannot create a BACs file using the new cash account

Hi All,In IFS using currency rate update workflow functions, can we update different rate types using different sources?Eg:In company ABC, Currency rate type 1 - Normal to be updated using commercial bank rate source.ABC company , currency rate type 4 - Month-end rates to be updated using Central bank rates. Can we do that by configuring different task IDs and different workflows?

Issue:The customer order cannot be released because the presence of cancelled internal order lines prevents the release process from completing successfully.Expected Behavior:Cancelled lines with an Internal order type should not prevent the customer order from being released, provided there are no other blocking conditions.Actual Behavior:The customer order remains blocked and cannot be released when cancelled internal order lines exist.  

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionOn the Post Imported Object Transactions page, users can select specific lines and execute the Post Imported Object Transactions command. This functionality creates the expectation that only the selected lines will be processed. However, the system ignores the line selection and posts all imported transactions, regardless of the selected records.While the product documentation states that "As a result of this activity, all imported objects are posted on the same vouchers," the ability to select individual lines in the UI can be misleading, as it suggests that the posting action will be limited to the selected transactions. This creates a discrepancy between the documented behavior and the user experience.B. Context and scope1) Who is affected?​​​​​Internal users Customers Partners2) Frequency​​​​​FrequentlyC.

HiIs it possible to change the settings for when Business Reporter reports start if they are launched as scheduled from Order Report? We are implementing IFS Cloud, and I have noticed that scheduled BR reports start daily at 00:00.Kerstin

Hi All,I need a solution for loading external supplier invoices with PO matching for partial receipts.When I attempt to load invoices using the STDSIN1 or STDSIN2 external file templates for partially received quantities, the supplier invoice posting proposal goes into an Unbalanced status. This occurs because additional receipts are being matched against the same invoice, even though multiple supplier invoices may be received against a single PO based on the quantities received.The PO matching process is performed either at the PO header level or PO line level, and no receipt reference functionality is currently being used. As a result, the system appears to match all available receipts for the PO instead of only the receipts related to the supplier invoice being loaded.Is there a solution or recommended approach to load supplier invoices through the external file template and automatically match them only to the corresponding PO receipts for partial deliveries?

Hi Community,We are in the process of reviewing our options to comply with upcoming Singapore GST InvoiceNow Requirement. Any of you know have experience in this area?We are currently using IFS Application 10.Thank you. 

I used the MAN_SUPP_INVOICE_API.Cancel__() to cancel multiple Supplier Invoices. but this action did not create any K Vouchers in order to reverse the I Vouchers which were created during the Supplier Invoice creation. Is there any way to create K Vouchers? or reverse this.

1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionIntroduce a standard Unit of Production (UOP) depreciation method within IFS Cloud Fixed Assets.Currently, customers who require depreciation based on actual asset consumption (e.g., units produced, machine hours, operating hours, kilometres travelled, tonnes mined) must implement custom solutions because IFS does not provide a native UOP depreciation method. This requirement has already resulted in customer-specific customizations and development efforts.The proposed enhancement would provide a standard depreciation method that:Maintains expected lifetime production/usage units. Captures actual units consumed for each depreciation period. Calculates depreciation based on actual asset usage rather than time. Supports manual entry, file uploads, and integrations. Provides standard validations and reporting.This enhancement would improve support for industries such as Mining, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Transportation, Con
