We are running IFS Apps 9, and we are having an error in Background Jobs for only two Sites when running Transfer Inventory Transactions. The Transactions are in status of 2 - Completed. However the error message shown in the details of the Background Job is similar to one that you have shared an answer to in IFS Community.Error Details:ORA-06512: at "DIXI1APP.MPCCOM_ACCOUNTING_API", line 9545ORA-06512: at "DIXI1APP.MPCCOM_ACCOUNTING_API", line 9671ORA-06512: at "DIXI1APP.MPCCOM_ACCOUNTING_API", line 6431ORA-06512: at "DIXI1APP.MPCCOM_ACCOUNTING_API", line 6437ORA-06512: at line 1ORA-06512: at "DIXI1APP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 1441ORA-06512: at "DIXI1APP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 679ORA-06512: at "DIXI1APP.TRANSACTION_SYS", line 1226It is the exact same error on both Background Jobs for both Sites.I was wondering if you could help us narrow down the cause and or possible resolutions?Any advice is much appreciated.Thanks in advance,Sheri SigworthLead IFS Specialist for Expanse Electricalshe

Hi We are a Apps 10 user and outsource our IT desktop support to a third party. The third party sends a monthly invoice that can vary by $ amount due to the service supplied or the equipment provided.To complicate the matter more, the equipment needs to go on to the Object Balance register and the service is expensed.. They may be on the same invoice.  The $ and equipment can be estimated, but the amount of service provided or equipment delivered is not known at the start of the month.Our Head of  IT is becoming exasperated by creating a Purchase Order each month to cater the varying $ amounts and services delivered.My question to the community is what is the best way to manage such a contract in IFS (Apps10)?I was thinking of breaking down his budget, in a Purchase Order No-Part Order Lines, and he can incrementally receipt each line over the year.  The other idea was treating the contract as a sub-contract.  But they both come with relative downsides.Thank you and have a great weeken

In my previous company we used Handling units. During Physical inventory we used to ”create empty HU” in the count report for adding parts. The result was: findings were included in the count report.Now I am in Apps 10 Upd 11, without HU.Does anyone know another option than “Count per inventory part” to add a “Findling” during Physical Inventory?Thank you for your feedback!Regards Martina

When generating customer invoices from customer orders, by self-billing or otherwise, they are taking a while. The same issue occurs when the invoices are being printed. They take a while to be printed. Has one experienced this and or have a fix for this?

Can anyone provide insight on how they would use the Tax Clearance Voucher to include postings to a Collection Allowance account? I was thinking about using an automatic posting rule to split off the discount after doing the tax clearing.What is a Collection Allowance?In the U.S., when Sales/Use Tax for certain states is remit to the state on a timely basis, a discount can be taken. This discount is called a Collection Allowance.  Looking forward to hearing from the community.Thank you in advance.Liz

Hello, one of the items we need to provide to our external auditors every year is a detailed listing of our Accounts Payable aging.  Basically, a listing at the invoice level of the invoices that make up our AP.  I cannot find any report or query in IFS that would give me an accurate list.  Does anyone know of anything?  We have created a report with this information, but there is no logic and it is a point in time snapshot. Therefore, the problem is that we keep AP open at year end and post invoices into year-end after new invoice for the new fiscal year have started to flow in as well as payment runs in the new year.  We need something with logic like the AP Summary level report out of IFS that would help give accurate details a week or two into the next month.Let me know if anyone has suggestions!

Hi, I have a user with a customer payment that was made in September.The user that wants to rollback the payment in October. I don’t know if this is by design or a bug. But since period 9 is closed we can’t post it there. But the application won’t allow us to post in period 10 either (“It’s not allowed to change voucher date when rollbacking the payment if the original period is open for user group”) and refers to period 9 as open even tho it’s closed. Any idea about this?     

I want to set up a separate email event action to email remittance advices to supplier, on a company level. i.e. 1 default event action & a second email event action when it is a payment made by company ABC. Can this be done via the Event Action or does something need to be set up in Report Rules?

Hi,Can anybody please advise if there are any issues with a customer account being setup with multiple currencies?Example: we have a customer who was initially setup in USD but then decided they wanted to pay in GBP.   They are now placing orders again but they are in USD.Is it possible to setup multiple currencies in their account or is simply a case of relying on the orders being placed in the correct currency on the system by our commercial team?I work in accounts so want to eliminate any potential problems this will cause regarding raising invoices and payments being received.Thank you,Lisa 

In some companies there are instances where when currency revaluation is executed there are no foregin currecy tranactions and therefor there will not be any gain or loss to post. In those situations if we try to create a currency revaluation and post an error will occur as “No Gain/Loss to post. But it is possible that foreign currency transactions may occur in the future. when this happens, Is the recommended approach not to create a currency revaluation record for that month?

HII have a client who upgraded from Apps9 to Apps10.  When creating an invoice in Apps 9 for a PO with no tax, the line information does not pull in the tax code.  When creating an exact invoice in Apps 10, it puts a tax code on the line information.   I can remove it prior to saving.  However, we are trying to figure out why this is happening.  We have verified the information for the company and Supplier is the same in Apps9 and Apps10.  Anyone thoughts on this issue?Identical POsManual Supplier, tax code is added to the Line information in Apps 10.   Removed Tax code in line information and corrected Tax in header to be zero again. I then saved the invoice and the tax information did not reappear.   

Hello, I saw some posts, for IFS 9, were it was discussed how you can enter external costs directly in Report in work order > Postings tab. We work in IFS 10 and I cannot see a tab Postings in the Report In Work Order screen. Does it need to be activated it, in some way?How can I enter external costs directly in Work Order or Work Task? I was also looking at Voucher Entry and even there I do not have fields for Work Order/Work Task. Thanks,Cora
