Is anyone using OCR to import Supplier Invoices into IFS for France.  We are in contact with Ricoh and Skilja but wondered if anyone has any other options to suggest (for a small quantity of invoices). This relates to invoices coming in from suppliers outside of France.

We see that when we use one of the code part named as work task, it validates the actual work task, we are not using work task for all entity. But when we try to save any supplier invoice with work task from code part value it checks the Work task sequence on work tasks without considering the company/site logic. Is this standard application behavior? Do we have any possibility to remove the mapping for Work tasks and code part? if yes where can we do that?

Dear Team,Please help in designing the logic for one report which is generating through report generator in IFS 9. In IFS Cloud 25R1 this report generator is not available. Hence how we can create the same report using IFS Business reporter.The name of the report is IFSR5 - COST CENTERS in IFS9 . This report provide trial balance data along with cost centersBelow screen shot of report generated through report generator from IFS9Thanks&Regard,Afrin Dobani

This is related to part cost-->Cost set 2- Estimated material cost.I migrated few part numbers to the system. When check the cost,I see that cost set two is not updated.I did the same few months back, but I didn’t have this issue. What could be the reason? I used to migrate part numbers.I’m using IFS app 9.  

I would like to request to consider development of an integration with Tagetik for financial consolidation.Tagetik (owned by Wolters Kluwer) is our global consolidation and reporting software. It is one of the major global providers of consolidation software. We rollup our country results in it for reporting. This is currently a semi-automated process. We have been advised to use IFS consolidation but we are a large global company and IFS cannot support consolidation requirements as we have them. 

Hello,Within the Service Management module, in the Request Contract screen we are able to define a periodic price when an invoice plan and sales part are selected. When a new service request is created and the request contract is linked to the request, the expectation is to view the periodic price added in the contract either in the request or associated task or invoice preview.But currently, the price added in the contract is not visible anywhere in the request, task or invoice preview generated. Is there a way or functionality to view this sales part periodic price added in the contract to be viewed from the linked request or invoice? Please let me know. 

I’m looking at the Received - Not Yet Invoiced report for multiple sites, with the current date as the To Date and the Part Type equal to Inventory Part. Can anyone tell me what would cause the Cost and Value columns to be sourced from the part’s estimated material cost for POs that were created up to a certain date and then to be sourced from the PO buy unit price after that date?  I’m working in a customer’s development instance and would like to understand what caused the change.

We have a customer set up for Advance Invoices requiring prepayment before the order will process.  The order was created, the advance invoice created and the order blocked.  Then the scheduled task to Batch Create Invoices picked it up and invoiced for the full amount.  The customer master record has the “Advance Invoice Full Paid Check” turned on.  How can an order that is blocked be invoiced?

In Finance, under Posting Proposal, there is currently a button “Copy Latest Posting”. This standard functionality copies the latest invoice postings manually entered for the invoicing supplier.We would like to propose an enhancement:Add a second option "Copy my latest postings", that do the same copies the latest invoice postings manually entered for the invoicing supplier but find the latest with the logged-in user as invoice receipient. We also would like the amounts automatically adjusted to match the new invoice. Our initial investigation indicates that this could be implemented relatively easily by adding a parameter to the existing method that performs the copy. Would this be useful for other IFS customers?I think also there is already an Idea made for this 4 years ago for IFS 10… did anything happen on that?  

  Is there a way to streamline the process of creating a instant invoice(DN/CN) with a large number of line items in IFS? The current process of inputting data individually is time-consuming, and I'm looking for a more efficient approach, such as any functionality or method that allows for efficient data input, such as bulk upload or data import, to save time when dealing with extensive line item details within a single invoice.  Please refer below image.Invoioce is linked to so many GLs   

In IFS Cloud (24R2), we have a Migration Job to load our Fixed assets in. We want a custom PLSQL job to do the equivalent of clicking the “Investment” command button, but we are struggling to get this to work.We have tried running set_investment from finite_state_machine, and also by creating a background job. Neither work.Here is my code (from FaObject-Cust.plsql): @OverridePROCEDURE Finite_State_Machine___ (   rec_   IN OUT fa_object_tab%ROWTYPE,   event_ IN     VARCHAR2,   attr_  IN OUT VARCHAR2 )IS   info_       VARCHAR2(32000) := NULL;    rowkey_      VARCHAR2(32000) := NULL;    objid_       VARCHAR2(32000) := NULL;    objversion_  VARCHAR2(32000) := NULL; BEGIN   --Add pre-processing code here   super(rec_, event_, attr_);   --Add post-processing code here      IF rec_.rowstate = 'SystemStart'      THEN         Fa_Object_API.Get_Id_Version_By_Keys___ (   objid_  ,   objversion_,   rec_.company,  rec_.object_id);--method #1            Client_SYS.Clear_Attr(attr_);         Client_S

 Is it possible in Cloud to enter a vendor agreement that you are matchning invoices with until the amount of the agreement is used? For example if you enter a rental agreement of 4 years of lets say 48000 EUR. You are then receiving one vendor invoice per month for 4 years and since the agreement is already signed you dont need any further authorizations on the individual invoices. You would like that the invoices are deducted from the amount of the agreement until the amount is zero. This function is usually included in external applications such as Visma Proceedo. We can of course use purchase orders for this but then we will have to do a PO row per expected invoice and someone needs to do goods receipt each month. Is this possible in IFS10 or in Cloud?

Hi, Please provide the mapping steps in IFS CLOUD for CAMT.053.001.08 files and processing steps 

Please can someone tell me what the difference between these 2 options are? What does it do differently from a finance perspective?On the example the users provided to me, they dont have the option to ‘cancel preliminary invoice’ as its greyed out but they can ‘remove credit/corr. invoice’.  Therefore i wanted to know the difference, and added to that, when would the option to cancel be active?Thank youStacy

Hi All,How can RMB pre-posting option be activated?   Thank you.Regards,Nisha

When it comes to tax calculation with cash discount in Belgium it works a little different then IFS standard. In IFS there is a setting on company which says “tax reduction on discount”. This option lowers the VAT if the payment discount is deducted. However how the Belgium TAX system works is that you need to amend the base amount of the tax regardless of if the payment discount is used or not. Are there any other customers that have this issue in Belgium? How do you solve it?  

We have a parked payment (CUPOA) and would like to apply it to an advanced invoice. Can we do this via customer offset? Or should it be done some other way? I would appreciated any help/advise on this. Thank you.

Dear Team,I am running the Periodic Cost Allocation (PCA) process for central overhead costs. In the Step Item specification, I have defined multiple parameters for accounts to include specific ranges that should be considered during allocation.For example:Range 1: From 3410000 (Non-project related travel and entertainment) To 3535004 (Fixed assets under construction – Capitalization) Range 2 : 3540000 - Capitalised ov to 3542000 - Training costsMy requirement is to include both account ranges when executing PCA. However, when I define multiple ranges in this way, the system returns:“No balances found to match the selection.”If I define only one range, the balances are correctly considered. Could you please clarify why PCA does not recognize multiple account ranges in the Step Item specification? Is there any way that i can define multiple ranges? (other than including specific values)Thank you. Best Regards,Prabha   

I dont understand why the result is différent on a description field using an api on ifs v10 (field in french) and in a report or in sql.The menu is project invoice.  The result is in english.

I keep on getting this error when I try to add the Interco. This is just a prep-posting and the code part value exists so I do not know why it is erroring.  This is preventing us from posting revenue recognition. I would really appreciate any assistance or thoughts on this.  

Hi,When creating a New Supplier Payment Proposal, it is including suppliers with the incorrect payment methods.We only want suppliers with BACS payment methods, but we need POAs included.IFS is picking up POAs on suppliers that do not have the BACS payment method.Is there any other parameters in the background that would need to be set to prevent this from happening?This worked correctly until we installed an update on our IFS system.Thank you,John

Loading large CAMT files (e.g., 6.6 MB containing 12,500 transaction lines and approximately 521,000 rows) into IFS Cloud 25R1 SU3 is currently not possible. When attempting this with the “Allow Automatic Matching” toggle enabled, the process fails with the error:ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [LOAD_FILE_ID] is mandatory for Ext File Log and requires a valueDisabling the toggle avoids the error, but this forces manual matching—a highly time‑consuming process that is impractical for customers handling large volumes of transactions.IFS R&D has provided a workaround: The “Allow Automatic Matching” toggle must be turned off. A new button has been introduced in External Payment Details: “Check and Match all items in background”. This runs the matching process as a background job. Previously, selecting “Check and Match all items” resulted in timeout errors; the background job avoids this. While this solution is more feasible than manual one‑by‑one matching, it has limitatio

Hi all We are scheduling a quick Report When report gets created the fields which suppose to be numbers turn into the format of general. which makes a report quite painful to work with. i tried to convert somehow the number by setting on the debit amount the “to_number” to see if the column E ist getting converted correctly. see below query.  SELECT     a.STR_CODE                            AS "Transaktionscode",    to_char(a.DATE_APPLIED, 'DD.MM.YYYY') AS "DATUM",    a.EVENT_CODE                          AS "Event",    a.ACCOUNT_NO                          AS "Konto",    to_number(SUM(NVL(a.DEBIT_AMOUNT, 0)))           AS "Soll",    SUM(NVL(a.CREDIT_AMOUNT, 0))          AS "Haben",    SUM(a.DEBIT_CREDIT_AMOUNT)            AS "Betrag",    a.CODENO_B                            AS "Kostenstelle",    a.CODENO_D                            AS "Produktgruppe",    a.STATUS_CODE                         AS "Status",    NVL(b.SOURCE_REF1, c.ORDER_NO)        AS "order no"FROM     IFSAPP.MPCCOM_AC

Hello Comminuty, I have been trying to get multiple external payments created for different cash accounts (multiple currencies) through the same CAMT054 file with no luck. Receives the following error: ExecutionException from Sender thread Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$PermanentFailureException: ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [LOAD_FILE_ID] is mandatory for Ext File Log and requires a value. The file contains 3 notifications for EUR, USD and SEK iban numbers. Is this not supported by us or are we missing something in the configuration? When I remove the rest of the notifications and try the same file with a single notification, it works and creates an external payment for the relevant cash account.   Appreciate if someone could assist to confirm if this is supported as the customer is currently receiving this from their bank.  BR!
