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.

what could be the reason that the payment term of this supplier speglas 10 days in the posting proposal side when it has 30 days payment term? How can I fixt it? 

Please see attached file. 

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 migration. We want to make sure we understand all the dependencies and have a solid plan in place.

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: Thank you,Wafaa

Hi,We are on IFS Cloud and have a new starter who is a Transaction Processing Manager but despite having projection access to the Supplier Payment Proposals screen cannot view any data. Are we missing some setup where the user needs to be added to a screen to permit access to the historical data? Please adviseThanks

Hi CommunityDoes anyone know where i can find a setup guide for intercompany invoices.We implement IFS Cloud at the beginning of the year and this functionnality was not explained /tested.Thank you all

Hi, I just want to ask if in IFS Cloud there is a duplicate feature for mixed payments like in IFS 8? And is there also a mixed payment template feature? Thank you.Regards,Nargis

Hi, I'm getting below error when sending verification proposal :Parsing Error : Element '{http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope}GatewayTest' has a value which does not match the fixed value defined in the DTD/Schema. Also what is the connection with the outgoing load file ID and response send to HMRC ?Your advice is highly appreciate. Thanks.

Considering that IFS does not allow the creation of a supplier check without generating a voucher, what is the recommended approach to handle post-dated checks where the check is issued to the supplier ahead of time, but the accounting entry should only be recognized in a future period?

Dear IFS-Community,is it possible to set up a pseudo code with a tax code?I already checked the external payment parameters but I can’t set up the tax code for the whole message code.I’m a bit confused because in my opinion this is a standard case if I want to automate transactions on accounts.Hopefully I’m just blind 🤓GreetingsFrederic 

Hello everyone, We are currently in the process of automating the customer reminder process and want to use the Event Action Send Email for this. We would also like to personalise the email for the customer as much as possible (which we consider to be a minor requirement 😊 ), i.e. the customer number and customer name should appear in the subject line.Now that doesn't seem like such a small request, and we haven't been able to manage it.😑We are unable to proceed with the values in the conditions in the ‘Event Action Details’ screen. However, I sincerely hope that the issue is on the screen side 🙄 and that it is quite simple to resolve. Can anyone help us please?    

We are using MRO in IFS Apps 10, mainly for Component Repair Orders and Complex Assembly.We are facing an issue where costs for Component Repair Orders (Customer-Owned parts) are correctly accumulated in WIP, but are not transferred to COGS when the related Customer Order is invoiced. As a result, our finance team has to manually move WIP to COGS.Current ProcessOur standard process is: Create Component Repair Order (Customer-Owned part). Book material and labor → costs are posted to WIP (working correctly). Create Sales Line manually in Component Repair Order. From CRO, use RMB option “Create Customer Order” and transfer sales lines. System automatically creates Customer Order and Customer Order Line. Invoice is posted and paid. Observed IssueWhen the Customer Order Line is created automatically, the ownership is always set to Company-Owned, even when the Component Repair Order is Customer-Owned.We have verified: Demand Code = Component Repair Order Ref1 = Component Repair
