Hello Is there a report or window in IFS that can show supplier payments within a given date range and also includes the vendor? I tried Supplier Payments Analysis but it does not show the vendor.  Would appreciate any help on this.

Hello IFS friends -  We have a new IFS company and site that were effective 1/1/25.  The accounting periods start with year 2025.  In January, we transferred inventory from an existing site to the new site.  When we run the aggregate inventory transactions on the new site for period 1 2025, the job errors out.  Error text is “no period exists for date 31-DEC-24 in company 14 ORA-20110:AccountingPeriod NOYEAR1”.  I could add a period 12 for 2024 on the new company but I am concerned this might cause other issues (consolidation?).  Any idea why it needs a 2024 date for this process to work for 2025? Any idea on clearing the error?We are on IFS10 update 25.Thanks

We have supplier invoices created in IFS using external supplier invoice loads.Invoices are created before the POs are receipts. Company is a Posting Proposal company. How can we get the invoices matched with PO receipts automatically?‘Match Invoices with New PO Receipts’ seems to be working only for non-posting proposal companies.   

Community, Would like to hear from you, what is the best practice for below scenarioPO invoiced and paid. But the defects is identified in shop floor, and QA would like to return the product to have them replaced by the supplier.We have 2 options currenly in our mind. which one is the best practice or you have other good idea?open PO and relevant receipt, register inspection result to Return for Rework, return the defect product back to supplier and wait for supplier send in the replacement. Once done, close the PO. open PO and relevant receipt, register inspeciton result to Return for Credit, return the defect product back to supplier. Then create another PO for the replacement products.Thank you.

Hi,May I know if there is any way to use LEFT_TRIM and RIGHT_TRIM together in an external file template?I am trying to remove both leading and trailing spaces from the Account field in an external voucher upload.When I apply both functions together, only the second function works.For example, if I use LEFT_TRIM as the first function and RIGHT_TRIM as the second, only RIGHT_TRIM is applied, and LEFT_TRIM is ignored.Thanks in advance.  

Am I correct in saying for posting control M28 and Non Inventory Sales Part the only option is “Sales Group”. As “Sales Group” is heavily linked to Sales Discounts its causing me issues meaning I would have to create hundreds of entries, when we only post to 5 accounts. The system seems geared to postings around customer and transaction types, but not many options around the part istelf.

Could someone explain under which conditions these postings are created? We have some trouble understanding the mathematics of these postings and I have tried to provoke the system to produce them in a test environment. But so far I have failed.  My test cases are built upon serial tracked parts with Weighted Average, Cost per Part or Cost per Condition, and Distribution Orders between sites in the same company. NB that the same parts and sites have resulted both in INTORDTR transactions with ORDTREVAL postings and without such postings. 

Hi,We are trying to figure out how to go about batch sending ‘E-Invoices’ from IFS (24r2).  Below are the steps we currently have setup:Create customer invoice for customer setup with E-Invoicing. Run ‘Batch Print Customer Invoices’ job and selecting the ‘Print/Send’ option.  After running this, the E-Invoice is sent and invoice remains in a ‘Preliminary’ status. If we run the ‘’Batch Print Customer Invoices’ job again, the E-Invoices that have already been sent, are updated to a ‘Posted Auth’ status.  This doesn’t make sense as the E-Invoices have yet to be accepted or rejected by the Authorizer we sent these to.Does anyone know how to set this up so that the only way E-Invoices are ‘Posted’ is if the E-Invoice is accepted?  Also, are there things that can be done to prevent E-Invoices from ‘Posting’ E-Invoices that have not been accepted? Thanks for the help,Kevin

Hi,We are recording customer advance payments through Mixed Payment, and we’ve noticed that the voucher is sometimes generated with PP10 (Parked Payments Received) and other times with PP8 (Customer Claims, Pre-Payment). We’re unable to identify the reason for this behavior, even though the input details are the same in both cases.We are selecting the Payment Type as ‘Enter Customer Payment’ and entering the Customer ID in the ‘Payer/Payee Identity’ field along with the amount.Could someone please help us understand the reason for this inconsistency? Thanks in advance. 

Hi IFS Community, We’ve come across a bit of a challenge on one of our projects and I’m wondering if anyone in the community has dealt with something similar.A supplier delivered materials that didn’t meet the required specs. Unfortunately, these materials were already used in the build before the issue was picked up. The project team has since identified that this could lead to issues down the line, so they’ve raised a charge back to the supplier.The complication is that the team recorded this charge back as revenue recognition under a contract change order. Executive management has pointed out that this may not be correct, since the supplier was not a subcontractor but a vendor we engaged through a purchase order.Has anyone else experienced a situation like this? How did you handle it in terms of both financial posting (IFS Finance) and project setup (IFS Projects/Procurement)?Any guidance on best practice for processing the charge back correctly in IFS would be really appreciated.Th

Hi,I am trying to load a bank statement in CAMT.053 format into 25R1 Cloud DEV environment.File is successfully loaded through IFS Connect but I am getting this error message:“A Payer/Payee Identity does not exist.

Hi, Have you worked with any customers who apply UK GAAP for finance lease accounting? If so, how this is handled in IFS, since IFS only provides guidelines for IFRS 16. Thanks in advance. Regards,Sashikala

Can anyone please provide the ABA payment setup document in IFS Apps10 to generate ABA payment file for Australia. ABA payment files are plain text files, typically with the .aba extension.

Hi IFS network,I have an issue at a customer who is not able to match a supplier invoice against a PO which is created from a Work Task. The Work Task is in status finished, now it is not possible anymore to match the invoice against the PO receipt (only when you reopen teh work task it is possible again). I see that from UPD16 there is a fix deployed, see  This fix was related to invoices without a PO reference. I think it should be possible to match an invoice with a PO Receipt, even when the connectexd Work Task is in status finished. Normally the person who is responsible for the status of work tasks is not the same as the person who is booking the invocies. The invoice will come weeks later than the work is executed, so this is really a timing issue.Please advice on this issue @Thommy and @Nethmini Kosvinna 

In Cloud 24R1 we have an issue at a customer who is not able to match a supplier invoice against a PO which is created from a Work Task as WT is closed and PO also closed.Users have finished the work tasks,  When trying to match the PO receipt once supplier invoice is received it is not possible unless user re open the closed work task.There should be a way to avoid this right? there has been a bug fix around this in App 10 it seemsfound a similar case year ago but don’t know if it was solved , anyone facing similar issue in new cloud versions and found a fix? Issue on matching invoices on PO receipt from Work Task | IFS Community

We’ve created a Customer Order that includes both regular order lines and rental lines, all of which are linked to the corresponding project and activity sequence. However, in the Project, the planned revenue is being updated only for the normal order lines, not for the rental lines.Am I missing any specific setup for this?Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All,Anyone has idea or knowledge how to create external file migration or migration job for Instant invoice upload in Apps9? Is it possible to create through file migration or not? ThanksRaj

When making changes to the Invoice Posting Authorizer Groups, is there an automatic update task that can be run to update existing invoice posting proposals to display the new authorizer and update the Invoices to Authorize page?I start by updating the Authorizer Group: Then navigating to an existing posting proposal with pending authorization that is assigned to the same group: When I view Authorizer Group Members, the changes do not seem to have been carried over: The system will still let me authorize the posting proposal, however this invoice does not appear on Invoices to Authorize page: The only way I can resolve this is by manually changing the authorizer on the posting proposal and pointing it back to the same Authorizer Group, but due to the volume of invoices that are processed, this is not really a feasible solution. Whilst I appreciate that new invoices will reflect the updated authorizer group, we still need existing invoices to be updated when a user has left the business

We have 5 fixed asset objects in IFS that we had in our books for several years but no depreciation has been made on them, they have been marked exclude from depreciation.Now we have to depreciate them this year but when we change the setting to be included the depreciation is starting back in time, from when they where acquired.  We found a solution to starting depreciation a specific date by creating a new depreciation method but we still have an issue for 2 of the 5 fixed assets objects. They where depreciated once in 2018 and therefor we can't change the depreciation method so we still need help with a solution for those two objects.  Its not possible to add a new line or remove the existing line under the book tab
