At present, when Use Code String Completion is enabled, the system applies the predefined code string completion rules in sequence and overrides any conflicting values provided in the external file. Conversely, when Use Code String Completion is disabled, the system fully relies on the values in the external file.Currently, there is no functionality that allows both approaches to work together—i.e., using file provided values where available while applying code string completion for missing parts.Therefore its important to have the below functionality: When a code part value is provided in the external file, it should take precedence over the default value defined by code string completion. If a code part is omitted from the file, the system should automatically fetch the default value from the code string completion rules. When a business processes thousands of voucher rows every month, with varying code part values, manually resolving each conflict in such high volumes is impractic

Hello, We have just upgraded to Cloud 25R1. In 25R1 we started receiving this error message when matching PO Receipts on Manual Supplier Invoice (using either Match PO Receipts or Match PO Receipts per Line). There are no rentals on the PO, we don’t use Rental  and we did not have this error in the previous releases. The Supplier Invoice is in Preliminary state.Has anyone had anything similar? Or can anyone suggest a reason why the system is trying to use this Posting Control.All suggestions are very much appreciated!!Error Message

It looks like I cannot see the highlighted option in our APPS10 instance. Any special security settings required? 

We have a check which was cashed in July which we then set back to printed status and now want to void it.  This is what I see  But when I click Void Check I get the message below:   This is quite strange because the option to void is there and normally it would (or should) give you the ability to enter the voucher date.  I would really appreciate any guidance on this. 

I am attempting to upload a budget period using the external file assistant and a template that has been provided.  When clicking finish I get an error stating the load file “contains rows with state Unpack error” -  Error Received after clicking “Finish” Below is a screenshot of the file I am attempting to upload -    When I go and view the external file transaction for the failed load, I see that row 1 is the source of the unpack error.  Specifically, it states “Invalid value format or invalid Decimal Symbol in the Loaded File.” -  Screenshot showing row 1 with an Unpack error stating “Invalid value format or invalid Decimal Symbol in the Loaded File.” I am a bit confused why row 1 would be causing the error because there is an External File Template Control for this specific template that states Row 1 should be skipped if the first value it finds is “ACCOUNT” which is true for this excel file.  Below is a screenshot of that control and also the file template as a whole -  External F

When an external voucher is uploaded with negative debit and credit amounts while Use Correction Rows is not enabled, the system currently treats these negative values as standard debit and credit entries. Since no validation error is raised, users may incorrectly assume that the voucher has been posted successfully.As an enhancement, the system should ideally interpret: a negative debit as a credit, and a negative credit as a debit. If adjusting this behavior within the core functionality is not feasible, the system should at minimum trigger a validation error during the Check/Create process. This would prevent the creation of incorrect vouchers and ensure users are clearly informed about invalid debit/credit combinations.

Hi Community,We are currently using IFS Apps 10 in Turkey.Our current process for Supplier Payments involves creating the payment proposal within IFS, but we utilize a third-party external application to generate the actual payment instruction files (bank payment orders) to send to Türk banks. This is mainly due to the specific file format requirements of local banks.We are looking to eliminate this external middleware and manage the entire Payment Order generation process directly within IFS10.My questions are: Is it feasible to handle Türk bank payment formats (e.g., local XML or specific text formats) using standard IFS Payment Formats (such as ISO20022 or generic templates)? Has anyone successfully implemented direct bank integration for Turkey without an external tool? Which standard "Payment Format ID" is recommended as a base to configure for Turkish banking requirements? Any advice or experiences from the TR region would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Dear Team, I would like to understand the following behavior in IFS when it comes to the cash transfer method. When defining a cash box cash account in the cash account screen we are not allowed to use the cash transfer method as “Cash Transaction”We receive the following error.    However, if we provide the cash transfer method as “cash transaction” in Cash box screen line level system will allow to proceed.   Could you please help us to understand the difference. Thank you.

Hello We have a voided check that we would like to unvoid. Is there a way to do this? There is an optin to set status to printed. Would that unvoid the check?  Any assistance would be much appreciated.  

Why is sales commission included on two different reports?We have identified the same sale commission being applied to two different reports, but we cannot determine why.The screen shot below shows the same 10 lines of invoice number / customer order number on both commission report for Territory 22 and Territory 34.  Based on the information in the customer order, the commission should only be reflected in Territory 22.I’m not sure what to modify to eliminate the duplicates and ensure the commission goes to the right report. 

Hello everyone. We ran revenue recognition which indicates the actual costs of projects. For example below. Is there a way to find the cost detail that exactly makes up the actual costs in the revenue recognition?  Would appreciate any help or guidance.

Trying to get something usefull out of the functionality in Account Structure, but do get more and more frustrated. Does somebody out there use GL Structure Balance Analysis successfully within the IFS Client (10 or Cloud) or is it useful in Excel? Please enlighten me!  If possible give practical tips of what and how you use it?  

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.

This report provide trial balance data along with cost centersBelow screen shot of report generated through report generator from IFS9Thanks&Regard,Afrin Dobani

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.
