Dear experts What is your approach for the automatic supplier payment matching with a CAMT.053 file? On a customer environment (Apps 10, update 15), we have set up CAMT.053 and it works fine for customer payments. What we are missing so far is the automatic matching of the supplier payments with the corresponding payment order. When the CAMT file is loaded into IFS no automatic matching takes place and the order ID has to be added manually (e.g. in the mixed payment window):  Is there a way in IFS standard to automate this process. E.g. when creating a supplier payment order to add the order ID into the payment order XML file (reference tag), so that this information can later be used in the CAMT file for automatic matching with the referred payment order?   Many thanks in advance. Best Regards,Lukas

Hi,Has anyone implemented Segregation of Duties in the cloud.If so, are you willing to export the Functional Areas you have added so that others can import these?It seems crazy that there are none set up as default and that we all need to create these from scratch. There are obvious ones (like Supplier Payment Addresses) that we would all be interested in. Then is would be up to individual IFS Customers to decide how they want to set up the Functional Area Conflicts?Thanks,GrahamPS: I will come back and upload mine when I am finished.

We use Xpandion for GRC (governance risk and compliance).  IEE supports SOD through external sources by providing mapping.  However, with Aurena projections, we can’t seem to find the same support and manually mapping 70k projections is impossible.  Has anyone connected IFS to an external GRC tool?  If so, how have those projection mappings happened for you?  If not, has the internal IFS SOD Analysis been sufficient for your SOX compliance and audit needs?

Hi,Is there a functionality in IFS to check credit control on group level?For example Customer IDs are global and it can be assigned many companies in same group. The customer can have a credit block in one company due to credit limit. But still another company will be selling without considering that the customer is credit blocked in one company. Is there any functionality check credit control in group level across companies?ThanksGayan

Hello,My team is working on implementing a payment functionality for USD check payments to Bank of America (BofA) using IFS Cloud 2025R1. We were advised by IFS R&D to use the ISO20022A1 payment format for this purpose.We've set up the payment order and created the payment file. However, we've encountered a few issues and have a key question for the community on how this is intended to work. The Problem The payment format generates an application message with the MESSAGE_FUNCTION hard-coded to SEND_SEPA_CREDIT_TRANSFER.This results in the generated XML file using a SEPA schema and an explicitly defined SEPA namespace, despite the payment data being for a USD check.This seems to be a fundamental mismatch, as SEPA is a Euro-based electronic transfer standard, not a format for USD check payments. Questions for the Community  Is the ISO20022A1 format the correct and standard format to use for non-SEPA, USD check payments in IFS? Is the hard-coded SEND_SEPA_CREDIT_TRANSFER message fun

In APPS10 there is a Received - Not Yet Invoiced report.  I have searched and this report should be in IFS Cloud but I am not able to find it.  I understand it may be under GNRI or Goods Received Not Invoiced but I am not finding those either. Where is this report in IFS Cloud?

In the payment file group header, the initiating party details will be provided. As per the bank, there should be 2 other ID tags (i.e., Initiating party tags) in the payment file group header.In the first tag, it’s picking the Initiating party <Id>xxxxxxx</Id> and SchemeNm <Cd>CUST</Cd>, which we are able to generate in the file. When it comes to the second tag, the only possible option I could see in the ISO20022 Format specific Info per Institue is by providing the details in the ‘Debtor identification info’ and by enabling the option ‘Repeat in Initiating party identification level’ but the Debtor identification details are different from the initiating part details in our case.So how can we achieve the second other ID tag (<Id>REMITTANCE</Id> <SchmeNm  <Cd>BANK</Cd>) in the payment file group header?<GrpHdr>      <MsgId>DNB_</MsgId>      <CreDtTm>2017-04-03T09:27:40</CreDtTm>      <NbOfTxs>4<

Hi all We are implementing IFS Cloud for the first time.We can’t reconcile the Payments & GST on the standard TPAR report (TPAR, S108) in IFS 25R1. The file format is compatible with the ATO, however we can't validate the values on the report against Supplier Payments.Is this an issue for others?   

Can you automatically upload bank statements into IFS Cloud from CAMT053 files for use in Automatic Transaction Matching screen?I am aware you can load them into external payments for use in mixed payment, we have done that via SFTP reader, but would like to do the same (Via SFTP) to get the statement in for automatic transaction matching screen use.

 Hi,Does anyone have an example of what fields are required on the Supplier Electronic Payment Address and elsewhere to generate an ISO20022 BACS XML file for HSBC?We are going back and forth with HSBC on this and I cannot find any detailed documentation.We currently have this set up:Payment Format per Institute > Format Specific Information per InstituteI think HSBC wants this to be the Initiating Companies Bank Account or Sort Code. For Supplier ZCK001 CK-Interiors Limited - Electronic Payment Address: Confusingly the Bank Name says Employee’s Payment Institute. Should this be the Companies Bank Account Name or the Suppliers Account Name?Cheers,Graham Last response from HSBC: Still no payment type in the file and if this is a Bacs file you need your SUN in file<PmtInf><PmtInfId>2024-06-17/181/1</PmtInfId><PmtMtd>TRF</PmtMtd><NbOfTxs>2</NbOfTxs><CtrlSum>.04</CtrlSum><PmtTpInf><InstrPrty>NORM</InstrPrty><SvcL

Hello everyone,I have a quick question regarding the matching of customer credit notes.When I issue a credit note from an invoice, it is not automatically matched with the related invoice.- Creation of a credit note :  The credit note appears as unmatched in the customer analysis screen :  I have to perform the matching manually in the customer offset :Is this the normal/standard behavior, or is there a setting that allows the credit note to be automatically matched with the invoice?Since I created the credit note directly from an invoice, it would be logical for it to be automatically matched with that invoice.Thank you for your helpRegards

We have a supplier that will be looking for payment to differing bank details dependant on the service they provide.  I can see that I can have secondary bank details and attach them to specific invoices etc so that both will pull through into a BACs run when invoices are cleared.Can the payment details be added to PO, so that the invoice will automatically attach to these second details when ready for payment - or is the only option to manually add the details in the invoice instalment section

Hi,We setup a new customer. I've checked and to me the customer and tax code set up is all correctAlthough they have been set up with S1 Tax code, correct price including tax hasn't been pulled through properly while creating customer agreement.  The problem is Tax code which should "add" 10% to the total price seems not to be applied properly to the particular account although setup has been done."Price" and "Price incl. Tax" should be different (+10%), but for some reason they remain the same when I try to set up the Pricing Agreement It can be because of baseline price, that is 0.00 over sales part base price. But I can see that all customers have actually 0.00e Price, but for them Tax code worked fine. Base Price is 0, but Price including Tax is 10% higher that Sales Price. Request your suggestions, what can be the issue and how to resolve it.

Hi All.Please help me,  I would like to set up the withholding tax on APP 8, as in Italy this needs to be handled separately. Could someone help me with this from the very beginning? The Italian equivalent is Ritenuta d'acconto, which can be applied at different percentages. What basic data settings are required? This should appear during the payment process, and is it controlled by transaction PP49?

Dears, can you advise what steps should be done in order to change accounting currency in IFS v8. Our country is shifting to EUR we need to implement such change. Thanks

Hello, How should the depreciation method be configured in version 8 to comply with the following requirements?This means that the asset’s value is depreciated in equal annual installments (20% per year).The method is called "linear depreciation" (ammortamento lineare).If the asset is put into use during the year, a reduced rate is often applied in the first year—typically 50% of the standard rate (i.e., 10% in the first year, then 20% in subsequent years).Depreciation starts from the year the asset is activated, not from the purchase date.According to Article 2426 of the Italian Civil Code, the value of assets must be depreciated systematically, taking into account their useful life.brocardiUnder Article 102 of the Italian Tax Code (TUIR), the depreciation rate must be applied starting from the year the asset is put into use. In the first year, the depreciation rate must be reduced by 50% (e.g., 10% instead of 20%). Thanks Ili

Hi,We are starting the e-invoice project with Pagero now and I wonder if we have the right invoice xml format in IFS with all the tags needed if we are on IFS10 and UPD26? Do you know if there are some new needed tags added in later updates? Regards,Marika

HiI want to move/offset a parked payment (on company) to a supplier (Generating a payment on account). So I am creating a Mixed Payment (Suplier Payment) on 0 amount linked to a supplier. Then chose/match the Parked Payment from the list. The payment is now not balanced. When trying to approve, the system does ask if I want to create a Payment on account for the Supplier. Saying Yes to that.   Then I do approve the payment. But it does fail, saying:  “The matched amount is bigger than the payment amount in lumb sum”.  How can this be done?  I believe it worked in APPS 10.
