Defined cost buckets appear valid.  Failure of a cost bucket and cost type to appear in error text suggests cost bucket is not being linked to the process.  I have reproduced this error with the app owner account to rule out access issues.

Hello, Does anyone know of set up for Payment Institute / Cash Accounts to restrict it’s use if supplier invoice currency doesn’t match the cash account currency?    It seems in Apps9 it allows me to select a different currency cash account with no warnings / hard stops that it doesn’t match the currency of the invoice in the payment proposal.   I’ve had a payable user not select from a list of values all fields in payment order pop up form, therefore they didn’t notice they picked the wrong one until after the checks were printed.    I know I could create a custom event to perhaps stop this but just wondered if I’m missing something in set up?   Thank you

Hello, We are looking to use the Bank Reconciliation process where we upload from our bank the cashed checks so we can mass “cash” them.   Our daily files could be quite large.    When we test this process and let’s say want to remove the bank statement due to an error, it’s telling us we need to unmatch each check first one at a time!   This would be very time consuming!   I remember testing this in version 7.5 and pretty positive I could just remove the whole thing without performing this function.  Does anyone know of a way to remove the bank statement in version 9 without having to go to each line to unmatch?   I may just be missing something in set up.   Thank you in advance! 

Q1. Does the ISO20022 payment format work with foreign currency payments? When we initially set the payment file in UK we were advised that it worked only for domestic BACS payments. Can you please advise if the functionality has been extended for foreign currency payments (example SEPA payments)? Q2. If the answer to Q1 is yes, then what versions of IFS support this?

Hi Have a problem that we haven't find a proper solution; I guess there is other with similar issues, maybe someone has solved it? We have enabled “Finally Posted Supplier Invoices Analysis” to the end users, this window is working very well. Currently, they can only see what they have approved. Now the problem; we have a group of users that would like to see each other invoices, as they work in the same department and same authorization. Currently, this is not possible, with above window. We have tried with some other ways, but then the end-user will see all invoices within that company, and that is not the right solution (and not allowed according to our process.)   /Karl Linder

Hi all, I wondered if anybody using payroll has successfully gone paperless?  I have been toying with looking at e-mailing payslips to employees but obvsiouly with GDPR (and just general common sense) I would need to encrypt the attachment first.   

I want to set up posting control M62 to use the project ID to determine the appropriate general ledger account number and department to record the expense to.  I can’t use any characteristic from the inventory part because the same part needs to be expensed differently if it’s being charged to an R&D project than when it is charged to a revenue project.  I thought Cost Source would be the answer but that’s not working either.  Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Patrick

We have set the setting in the Misc Part Info Tab; Inventory valuation method – Weighted average, Inventory part cost level – Cost per part, Supplier Invoice Consideration – transaction based, Zero cost – Zero cost forbidden. Whenever Price Revaluation or Currency Revaluation is processing in IFS through AP Invoice, if inventory part’s if Supplier Invoice Consideration is Transaction Based, the revaluation voucher of goods received and goods invoiced is taking the system operation date and not the voucher date of AP Invoice. Therefore, wrong period is fetched in the revaluation entry of the MPL voucher. Could you advise how to correct this.

Hi All,   We are using the project management module in IFS 9 to support a Time and Materials business. From a time and forward supplier invoice standpoint everything is hitting project tansactions correctly. We have some expenses that we want to charge to the customer, like shipping chargers, and the finance team is entering them as manual vouchers and linking them to project activities but this does not create project transactions. My question is, how are other companies handling thee type of expenses that need to be charged to the customer through project invoicing?

Hi, We have 215 vouchers sat in error that have not passed through to our General Ledger. All of the errors relate to Manual supplier invoices created by numerous users on or after 16th December.

For Germany Tax (VAT) Reporting 2020 there is no need for a new system template to be created by R&D, as the content has not changed in comparison to the previous year - only the version for PERFIDIA has to be changed by the user. As every year, a description (Word document) has been created for PERFIDIA customers and can be found attached to Global Solution 278080. The document describes the Set-up for German VAT Advance Report (Umsatzsteurvoranmeldung) 2020. It is in German and can be made available to customers if needed.

We found out that since we are working with IFS10 our project costs show a difference between “Actual” and “Used” at the moment it should not. It took us a while but we now dicovered that since the update we get the “invoice to be paid” (belgian, 444000 / 444005 accounts) double in the project costs because in the business event APINVOICE there is a “include project connection” on the M18 and M10 .. where we did not have this before. I can correct this in the database and then we have the costs correct, but i’m wondering if someone experienced the same issue ? And what could be the reason that this got updated like this in IFS10?

Hello, With a global Installation of IFS and many different payment Institutes it is very cumbersome to handle the output file directories for payment files. is there a way to use context subsitution variables to dynamically define the Output file directories per company, database, payment method … How can this be handled in testing Environments to avoid creating Testfiles in the same Directory as productive System?   Johannes

On Apps 8 has anyone experienced a sporadic problem when deleting Customer Offsets on the Financials> Accounts Receivable> Manual Payment> Customer Offset screen ?

A printed correction invoice document shows all invoice lines before and after the change. Issue: We have invoices with sometimes more then 50 lines. When 1 line is changed, for example for the price,  50 ‘before correction’ lines are printed an 50 ‘after correction’ lines. Our users and customers complain that it is very hard to find the 1 line, which is corrected. Work around available now Use e correction reason code on the line and print the description on the Correction Invoice document. This helps a bit in the quest to find the corrected linePreferred solution: Only print the lines, which are actually changed. So from the example: Only print the original line and the Corrected line are printed Any ideas how we can achieve this ?
