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 ? From time to time we get the message ‘The field [Cash Amount] must have a value’  95% of the time it’s fine ! Any ideas would be gratefully received :-) 

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 ?

In the online help for Correction invoice it shows that it’s possible to hide lines with negative value by clearing the check box Show credit lines for correction invoice in the invoice line properties View Credit Lines tab. But where is this tab? We can’t find this check box. 

We have an increasing number of products that have a very small value (< £0.01)  A good example might be a transaction against a mapping interface.  Whilst these might be bought in quantities of thousands, we still need to represent the unit costs as they are generally billed on a consumption basis for odd quantities (e.g. 12,345).  We would need to be able to specify both cost and sale prices in this way.I have been looking at whether this is feasible in Apps 9. I have done a bit of testing and have something that looks as though it should work following a bit of configuration - it appears that you must set the clients currency format in the regional setting of the profile.  Other than that I’m not sure what if anything needs to be done. I’m a little concerned that the Currency Codes screen specifies the number of decimals in the amount but only allows 0 or 2.  These values appear to be used in some calculations but I’m not sure where.  Does anyone ha

In IFS, how do I handle supplier invoices where we have received a notice of levy from the government where all payments owed to the supplier need to be remitted to the government. How can the invoice still be associated with the supplier (for 1099 purposes), but be remitted to the relevant taxing authority?

Booking Control Supplier Partial Rollback: In the case of "Supplier Payment Rollback - Partial Payment", we already have the problem in IFS7.5 that the lump-sum partial payment is not posted back to the supplier, but to the company ID. The fault is the booking control PP9, because this is not can be set equal (according to supplier group) posting control IP1. Please advise on how this can be corrected.

We are unable to create an invoice which includes tax code with tax type set as ‘calculated tax’ and deductible % is different from 100%. Once the invoice is created, it was observed that posting information aren’t balanced. The invoice is in ‘preliminary’ status and it isn’t possible to add somewhere any amount to balance the invoice. When trying to perform the functionality, RMB > Post Invoice, the invoice status would update to PrelPosted. However, we couldn’t finally post the invoice as there is no way to balance the invoice.

Tax Code can be deleted from Tax Codes window, although the same Tax Code is added/defined in Posting Control Details. Please explain the functionality behind this, since as per my understanding it should not be possible to delete the Tax Code if used somewhere in the application?

We have service providers and services will be ordered by raising a Purchase Orderto the Service provider, But we do not get the service physicaly, instead our engineers will get the service from service stations and invoice will be issued at the time of delivering the service. Then our engineers submit the invoice to the Accounts department and get the claim in cash. Question: We have a need to match the invoice at the time of claim is submitted to the Accounts section rather than going to Purchasing department and receiving the Purchase order and then matching the invoice in Accounts devision.

We have an issue when trying to report an add investment through a PO. The fixed asset reference is provided. However, results in an error in the Accounting tab of the purchase transaction history “No further acquisition possible for object (Object ID). FA will not be updated” the PO is in the closed status. As a result, the period cannot be closed and transactions remain in the ‘distribution and manufacturing transactions’. Please advise on how this can be corrected.
