Is it possible to have an expected payment date anywhere when analysing aged debt? for example we might show £xm as overdue today but we know from customers payment runs that won’t receive payment until 5 days later?

If we add in a Credit Limit review date, does this affect anything? Do we get any alerts to review or does it affect orders etc?

Does anyone know a way to create many new sites in of IFS at once or to quickly create/copy sites?We need this for a legal entity reorganization project. It will take several months of work to set up 88 sites if we do this manually, one at a time. 

Hello Does anyone know if you can change / correct preposting on a Manual Customer Invoice that has been saved/posted?    Would be nice to have the link back to the original entry vs just doing a journal entry to move it between accounts to fix.  Or canceling the invoice and re-inputting it.I can not see a way but just wanted to check.  Thank you!

We receive requests to raise manual/instant invoices via e-mail. Is there any process in IFS that could automate this for us, or have the request come via IFS to be more managable?

Hi all, On IFS10, we are trying to load PAIN002 message (response from Bank on Payments made), however we are getting the error “No API to call...”When we check the standard File Template (PaymentStatusFile), there is no API configured. Who knows where we go wrong?

How do i update GL, is this done automatically or can you force update it?I’m getting a fault: ="There is at least one project transaction that is posted and which has not been transferred to financials."when trying to close a project in and getting an error about unfinished work, i run the “generate unfinished work items” and get this line :)

Is there any way to ‘train’ IFS to learn specific references on bank statement and have them automatically post?

Dear community, I have a quick question on the amortisation/prepayment process in IFS. Take this scenario, we pay a supplier for something in period 1 for $1,00,000 and then we wanted a recurring journal to amortise the costs over 5 years, we have been told that this requires the accounting periods to be open or something similar to be able to do this? Does anyone know how you might set up recurring journals or similar, or can you point me in the right direction of any documentation that might help? Thanks, David

Dear colleagues,IFS Applications 8 Installation.We are a UK Fast Moving Food Manufacturing Company who export and import raw materials/finished products.  We are in the final stages of Brexit readiness and have hit a stumbling block with regard to Purchase Charges (import/duty fees).A number of the inventory parts for which we require charges to be recognised at the time of receipt of the inventory are standard costed parts.Please can you advise whether there is anyway the charge can be receipted to a goods received not invoiced account at the time the inventory is received for a standard costed part?If needs be we can set up a separate GL account where the charge can go to if it can not be distributed as part of the inventory part (due to the inventory part being standard costed) however we would still like to be able to recognise a liability for the charge at the point of receiving the inventory, so using either posting control M189/M187 or a new posting control.Any help/guidance wou

Does anyone know what drives what appears in the Receipt Reference field on an External Supplier Invoice Line info screen»  In our inter-company examples, it doesn’t appear to be any of the Receipt References entered when the POs were booked in. Thanks!  

Hi,We are having an issue when printing customer invoices.Here are the steps:Go to customer invoice screen. RMB Header → Reprint Modified Select Invoice Original and click ok. ​​​For ouput: select send email and enter address. Click OK.When this is completed, it send the invoice to the email address that you entered. The subject of that email is “PDF file for invoice report for result key xxxxxx is ready.” with a pdf attachement of the invoice. It also fires off PDF_REPORT_CREATED and sends a copy of the invoice to the customer contact. Is there a way to stop PDF_REPORT_CREATED from firing? We just installed UPD9, I think this may be related to that. I don’t believe this was happening before. Thanks for your help,Mike

hi,Case description:- user group = only one user group is linked to voucher type 0 wich is the voucher type for arrivals registration. We called this user group OR.- closing period for the user group OR the 28th of the month M- user Xx is connected to user group OR => the user Xx is trying to register PO arrivals the 29th of the month M while the period is already closed for the user group OR Question : how the standard should work ? Actually, we got an error message when we run the purchase transaction transfer because the period for the user group OR is closedBUT if I run the purchase transaction transfer with IFSAPP user for exemple (or an onther user with more rights…), and if this user is connected to user group AC and I add user group AC in voucher type 0, then the PO arrivals is transfered with an applied date (accounting date) on 28th of the month M What I except is if I close the user group for the period M, then the transaction should be applied on period M+1 Remark : in t

We rarely use retention in sales contracts, but have recently done so, and in a recent claim via AFP, found that the system had calculated retention on lines that had already been 100% claimed.  Overall the number works, but for the individual lines, it is not correct.  I cant send that data to the customer.Can anyone explain this process to me?  please?

In Apps8 environment trying to run a report for an annual audit to show all financial transactions from Oct to Dec 2020. The report path is Operational Reporting > Order Report > General Ledger Report With Counter Account. Running the report is very slow, and November could not be run successfully even after waiting 3 hours with the process running in the backgrounds. There is another way to run an excel based download of all journals through the “GL Voucher Analysis” function. This returned 102,237 records which took about 4 hours to extract to excel, but  that excel file only has 100,000 rows of data implying some are missing due to output channels maximum no of row limitation. Can you advise the best , most efficient way to get these reports run for auditing?
