Finance (Financials)

We are currently operating on Cloud and are evaluating financial reporting options as Business Reporter is proving to be a bit inefficient.  I am curious about other offerings and would like to hear what other users are leaning on for financial reporting capabilities. Is anyone using programs or offerings outside of Business Reporter?  If so - how was implementation of the software to Cloud and are you ultimately happy with your choice?

Hello every one, We have a scenario where a preposting is assigned to the purchase order line. In some cases, this value may be empty, but it will be know once the invoice is received.When matching the purchase order with the invoice, we are unable to edit the code in part I field. Any idea how to activate the edit of this value from the posting proposal page? thank you in advance

Dear Community,we’ve encountered an issue with the customer invoice printout in IFS Cloud. When the invoice is printed for the first time, the "Remaining amount to pay" field does not reflect the correct value, although the invoice is fully settled and the correct remaining amount should be zero.However, if we reprint the invoice after any modification, the summary section displays correctly - the remaining amount is updated to €0.00, as expected.We are using advance payments that are properly matched and deducted on the invoice. The error seems to affect only the initial print of the document.Has anyone else encountered a similar issue or found a workaround? We would appreciate any insights or guidance.Thank you!

It works for a small company with one employee; however, for Norautron AS, the process fails even when attempting to export data for just one month.  

Hi Community,We are observing an issue regarding the creation of voucher rows with zero amounts in the General Voucher (Voucher Type: M / Mahsup).Specifically, the system is generating voucher lines for 800-series accounts (Cost Accounting / Reflection Accounts according to Turkish Uniform Chart of Accounts). These lines contain the Account Code but have 0 (zero) in both "Currency Amount" and "Amount" fields.Impact: Since we are subject to Türk Legislation, we must generate e-Ledger (e-Defter) files. The e-Ledger validation strictly rejects any voucher line with a zero amount, causing our official ledger submission processes to fail.Questions: Is there a specific System Parameter or Posting Control setup (e.g., related to Cost Allocation or Period End Closing) that might trigger the creation of these empty rows? How can we prevent IFS from generating voucher lines if the calculated amount is zero for these specific accounts? Any advice or patch reference regarding this issue would be

During our physical inventory we run we a count report and work to count the pieces in the warehouse and transcribe that information into the count per count report screen of IFS.Frequently we find there are parts on the shelf in a location that do not exist on the count sheet.Since we do not physically relocate any product during PIOur process is to then manually add the parts into IFS using the Count per Inventory Part, one part to one location at a time.This is quite manual and slow. Does anyone have a more sophisticated way to add these into the count sheets?External file loads or a different screen? 

We have a supplier with whom we have a contract to keep a qty of their product on hand (consigned) and upon consumption we notify them for replenishment.  They then Invoice us for the consumed product.  This all works great in IFS, as the consumption decreases from the receipt (original shipment of their consigned product) upon invoicing. However, we would like the ability to actually see the consumption (number/id?) that is decreasing the receipt.  This will be helpful to see this when linking to the invoice.  IFS is decreasing the receipt, so it is using the consumption transaction.  I’m hoping it is there somewhere, but we just do not know where it is located.  Thank you

Does anybody know how to log acknowledgement of a payment proposals? Our auditor raised the absence of it as a finding. Switching on history logging is the obvious answer but if this is needed for compliance it would have to be in the standard. Are we missing something?

We went live with IFS in October 2025. in Consolidation, we are running the Balance Transfer Assistant to roll the internal reporting entities into consolidation. We are using Business Reporter to get a P&L. We noticed that for November the consolidation is combining October and November together when we run the Balance Transfer Assistant. We just want it to transfer November, since October has already been transferred that month. Is there a reason it is doing this?

Does anyone use any type of performance tracking dashboard for supplier invoices.  Idea would be to show number of invoices in query, breakdown by various sites/suppliers/queries etc and show trends over recent weeks and month on number and clearing times?

Hi AllWhen i create an expense sheet and connect it with a project, IFS creates me a PRJC1 and PRJC2 posting additionally. It actually makes no scense to do this. The posting Control for expenses allready creating cost postings. How do i prevent IFS from creating Project Transactions for expenses?

In IFS, each HSN code is linked to a single HSN Group. Because of this structure, it is unclear how to handle cases where the same HSN code requires multiple GST rates (Example: multiple suppliers issue invoices with the same HSN code but apply different GST rates). Creating duplicate HSN codes for each GST rate is not aligned with standard compliance practice, as HSN codes are classification identifiers and should remain unique.Guidance is requested on the recommended approach to manage this scenario within IFS.

At present, when Use Code String Completion is enabled, the system applies the predefined code string completion rules in sequence and overrides any conflicting values provided in the external file. Conversely, when Use Code String Completion is disabled, the system fully relies on the values in the external file.Currently, there is no functionality that allows both approaches to work together—i.e., using file provided values where available while applying code string completion for missing parts.Therefore its important to have the below functionality: When a code part value is provided in the external file, it should take precedence over the default value defined by code string completion. If a code part is omitted from the file, the system should automatically fetch the default value from the code string completion rules. When a business processes thousands of voucher rows every month, with varying code part values, manually resolving each conflict in such high volumes is impractic

Hello, We have just upgraded to Cloud 25R1. In 25R1 we started receiving this error message when matching PO Receipts on Manual Supplier Invoice (using either Match PO Receipts or Match PO Receipts per Line). There are no rentals on the PO, we don’t use Rental  and we did not have this error in the previous releases. The Supplier Invoice is in Preliminary state.Has anyone had anything similar? Or can anyone suggest a reason why the system is trying to use this Posting Control.All suggestions are very much appreciated!!Error Message

It looks like I cannot see the highlighted option in our APPS10 instance. Any special security settings required? 

We have a check which was cashed in July which we then set back to printed status and now want to void it.  This is what I see  But when I click Void Check I get the message below:   This is quite strange because the option to void is there and normally it would (or should) give you the ability to enter the voucher date.  I would really appreciate any guidance on this. 

I am attempting to upload a budget period using the external file assistant and a template that has been provided.  When clicking finish I get an error stating the load file “contains rows with state Unpack error” -  Error Received after clicking “Finish” Below is a screenshot of the file I am attempting to upload -    When I go and view the external file transaction for the failed load, I see that row 1 is the source of the unpack error.  Specifically, it states “Invalid value format or invalid Decimal Symbol in the Loaded File.” -  Screenshot showing row 1 with an Unpack error stating “Invalid value format or invalid Decimal Symbol in the Loaded File.” I am a bit confused why row 1 would be causing the error because there is an External File Template Control for this specific template that states Row 1 should be skipped if the first value it finds is “ACCOUNT” which is true for this excel file.  Below is a screenshot of that control and also the file template as a whole -  External F
