The application allows defining future valid‑from dates for tax codes only if the tax code is not a duplicate. While this behavior is understandable as the standard application logic, it becomes a limitation in scenarios where tax rates are expected to change in the future. In such cases, users are unable to maintain multiple future tax rates for the same tax code.Currently, the only possible workaround is to create a new tax code with a different ID, even though it represents the same tax code with a revised rate. This results in multiple tax codes being created in the application, as the system does not allow maintaining the same tax code with different rates across different validity periods.If the application could filter and identify valid tax codes based on their validity period dates in the tax codes window, it would be possible to define multiple tax codes with the same ID but different tax rates.For example, the tax code ST may have a rate of

Hi, does somebody have experience with Italian split payment, can somebody help?     How to separate the B2G/PA customers from the other customer types, in order to calculate Split payment automatically?                How to ensure that an order with multiple VAT rates is automatically calculated with Split Payment on the invoice?                            How to create the connection between the TAX calculation and TAX withhold calculation without manual input on transaction  level?  Thank you! Ina

Hello All,I have a customer requirement, where they want to run a periodical capitalization and revenue recognition. However, they do not want to reverse the revenue recognition postings on next period rather they want to keep calculating and posting the revenue to be recignized on the periodical basis.Ultimately, they are looking for the result fo monthly report and yearly report for revenue recognized for a long term projects which has ifecycle of minimum 3 years?I know IFS standard functionality, will always reverse the previous period voucher and calculate again cumulative amount to be recongnized. but did anyone has similar kind of requirement and solution suggestion for this?ThanksRaj

We have one user who is experiencing the GL balance analysis screen greyed out, displaying no filters etc. This arose since moving to Aurena and it is doing the same in Cloud. They get the same issue for all companies and they would have accessed this regularly before, so it cannot be a permissions issue. Has anyone any ideas? 

Hi,When we create a new supplier payment proposal and then create a new payment order, we select a payment method and a payment date.After completing the process and paying the supplier, where can we find the payment method that was chosen?In the supplier payment analysis screen, the payment method field does not appear.Regards.

I am looking for where do we specify the ship to (delivery address) tax structure when the ship to is different then the bill to. Right now, IFS invoiced with taxes based on the bill to address which is not good.I am talking when the bill to is located in the Province of Quebec and the ship to is located in the Province of Ontario, for example. Both provinces are in Canada, so we cannot use Tax Classes and Tax Codes per Class. Obviously, we forgot to configure something somewhere but what and where, we do not know.Can anyone help?

Dear Community, SummaryPlease enable IBAN validation also for ISO20022 to increase financial data integrity, strengthen the overall financial solution, and mitigate the risk of time‑consuming errors. This issue has been reproduced in 24R2 as well as in 25R1. DescriptionThe window “IBAN Validation Information” in IFS Cloud allows users to add an additional security layer to IBANs, which are highly sensitive financial data. The original purpose of this feature is that whenever an IBAN is entered in the system, it is validated against the parameters maintained in this window. This ensures that only valid bank accounts are stored in IFS. This currently works, for example, with SEPA payments. When a supplier payment address is created with payment method “SEPA”, the IBAN is checked accordingly and faulty entries are immediately identified and rejected:

My UK client has a small French office.  It is not a registered company in France, but is registered for VAT their and fits into the ‘Permanent Establishment’ rule .Which means they might need to create an FEC audit file.  But I have some questions:Does this mean we need to setup an entire Company in IFS just to support this one interface? If so, do we need to setup this company with the French government chart of accounts in code part A (I note from a related topic that the FEC file does not use the Internal Ledger)I had hoped to simply use a Code Part Value for the local office reporting, but suspect we are forced into a full blown company with Group Consolidation and account mapping just for this one audit function!I would be interested to hear from anyone with similar requirements and how or if they got around it? 

Hi everyone,I’m trying to skip the first row when uploading data into Budget Versions using an External File Template. I configured the Template Control as shown below, but the header row is still being processed instead of skipped.   Has anyone come across this before or have suggestions on what I might be missing?Thanks in advance! 

Hello All, If the Account is added in the Acquisiton account and for that account Code part demand for the FA_object (Code_E) is not a mandatory.Can we create a manual voucher for that account without providing the FA_Object(Code_E).Is it possible? 

When creating the External Payment Parameters for a Payment Method, it automatically load all the message codes connected to the payment format and issuer.If there are multiple issuers and messages codes, lot of records will get added.When dealing with many banks globally, there can be many Issuers.But there is no option to delete multiple records, which need to be done by one by one. Dealing with many banks globally and there can be many Issuers, which will create many unnecessarry records in this window and that needs deleting.

HiWe just updated to the Release R25.1 and are running into a big problem in finance.Suddenly we have transactions on a Posting Cost Group ID ‘*’ even thought this group is not set up in Posting Cost Groups. And we are talking within 10 days of 300-400K. Can anybody tell us where we find the setting? Ususally if a basic data is not entered all transactions should run into an error but here they go right into the GL. Is it something we can turn off or do we have to open a ticket with IFS? Thanks for any help.JT

Hello. I was able to import a budget file via Budget version > Import from File.  When I go to Budget Period Amounts, I see the amounts there. Budget status is active. But when I go to GL Balance Analysis I do not see anything appearing in the Planning Amount column, which I assume is where the budget amounts should show. Am I missing something perhaps?  I would appreciate any guidance on this.

We are unable to post an MPL voucher and getting an error message that says that it is not balanced in parallel currency. Is there a way to fix this without resorting to a database repair?  Attached is the voucher details.  I would appreciate any assistance/thoughts on this.

Hello everyone,One more question about how you deal with the following challenge in IFS. A brief explanation: The cut-off check (period accrual) ensures that sales revenues are recorded in the correct fiscal year based on the realization principle. To do this, auditors analyze invoices, delivery notes (Incoterms), and acceptance reports shortly before and after the cut-off date to verify the transfer of risk or completion of performance. Now, these corrections resulting from the audit must also be processed in IFS. We face the challenge that our sales controlling requires the correction at the customer and item level. To ensure this, we use the instant invoice in IFS. This gives us clean data and the tax book remains untouched. The original invoice is not allowed to disappear from the books. However, the process is manual and tedious. How do you solve this?

Hello everyone,a question for the group: like some others here, we are also obliged to value our inventories according to the lower of cost or market principle (Niederstwertprinzip). Brief explanation: The lower of cost or market principle according to Section 253 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) is a principle of proper accounting (GoB) that requires caution in accounting. It states that assets must be valued at no more than their acquisition or production costs on the balance sheet date or, if lower, at their fair value (market/stock market price) in order to recognize losses in a timely manner. We do here with an analysis from Excel, which is based on the inventory value simulation in IFS and some added values (last procurement, last sale, last consumption by shop order). This works, but is of course time-consuming and (because it is manual) prone to errors. How do you solve this?  

Hi Experts,We're planning a migration of lease accounting contracts to 24R1 and are finding the process complex. It seems there are several interconnected pieces involved, including object transactions, voucher record events etc. This makes us a bit nervous about ensuring a smooth and successful migration.Has anyone here already done a similar migration? I’d greatly appreciate any insights or advice you could share. Specifically, we're wondering about:Key considerations: What are the critical steps and potential pitfalls we should watch out for? Best practices: Are there any recommended approaches or strategies for this type of migration? Sample migration job: If possible, sharing a sample migration job or relevant code snippets would be incredibly helpful.Any guidance you can offer, even general thoughts on the process, would be very welcome as we begin planning this migratio

Hello, INVOICE_ADDRESS_ID of system defined template STDCIN2 has wrong column number, and this is causing error during check external invoice functionality. INVOICE_ADDRESS_ID value from csv file is shown in CORRECTION_REASON_ID and address cannot be validated. Manual correction is required as a work around. The same issue is on IFS10. Thanks  

Hi All. Is there any way to alter the behaviour of the standard field PayTermBaseDate on Sales > Invoicing > Customer Invoice screen such that when a date is entered in format DD/MM it will always select a future date? Currently it will sometimes select a date for the current year even if it is in the past. The issue we have is that when changing the base date on an invoice the system assumes a date and the invoice can appear to be overdue for the previous year. 

Dear Community Members,one of our companies faced a situation where company A received several invoices, but they were paid by a company B. How can we register payment transactions and maintain accurate account balances on both sides in IFS? Both companies are conducted via IFS10 (UPD29), but there is no multi-company or consolidation configuration implemented. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Regards,Karolina WowakSenior ERP Administrator

Hello,We have an issue, when a supplier payment proposal contains 15 invoices for differents suppliers and the payment Advice email with attached PDF have been sent for each supplier, there is one supplier that has received the email with a PDF blank (the payment advice info not showing).We did some verifications and did not find anything unusual for this supplier. When we tried the ‘Show Document’ from Report Archive we have this error message: When we tried to preview the xml (for the same Payment Advice) via report designer, the report PDF has been generated correctly for this supplier with all payment advice info.Please see below the PDF Blank that supplier received:
