What is the best way to write off customer bad debt?

Hi All, Is anyone familiar with the requirements in the subject field in relation to German companies? I am wondering how to make our Apps 9 compliant with these requirements. Third party software is being pushed as a solution but we’d like to avoid this if possible and even customize IFS where possible to build a solution. I know that some of the above requirements are process related but don’t have a clear understanding of the technical requirements.Best RegardsJohn

If we setup account in pre posing for inventory part in PO line, should it override M10 posting control at receipt?

I would like to apply a portion of an amount of advance invoice on customer invoice.So I did a customer offset on advance invoice and CUPOA and i have the following error message “advance invoices are not allowed”. 

When you create an advance invoice for a customer order, the advance payment is automatically offset with the final invoice is created. However, if the advance invoice has not been paid at the moment the final invoice is created, the advance invoice is not offset and the final invoice will invoice the full amount. You then need to create a credit invoice for the advance invoice and offset it with the advance invoice. Is there a way to offset the advance invoice with the final invoice, even if it has not been paid yet? Both the advance invoice (e.g. 30%) and the final invoice (70%) should be open. I know that stage billing can be used as an alternative, but the downside of that is that it posts revenue when a stage billing is created. But no costs are created. Therefore, we don't want to use stage billing. 

HI,We have several customers which are in purchasing organisations.Until 2025 the invoice was sent to the purchasing organisation via EDI.And the very same invoice was printed and sent to the customer by mail. We wondered whether it is possible to send the invoice via EDI to the purchasing organisation and additionally via einvoice to the customer? Is there a way to use both message classes at the same time? BR,Alex   

Hi All, I am exploring the possibility of using ‘External Files’ to format a txt BACS file (format txt to txt) to send to Barclays bank without doing a MOD.However, I can see that ‘External Files’ interface has some limitations where you cannot even create a new  ‘External File Type’.Does anyone have experience in creating a template for BACS transformation using External Files template? If yes, could you share any tips on how to achieve this.

Hey guys,We have a request from a US customer who wants to use electronic payment for Trust of America bank.When contacting the bank, they said they do not have a specific document or layout. Has anyone created layouts for US banks? Is there a document that structures the file to be generated?

Hello IFS friends -I have an issue with supplier invoice due dates.  The invoice is loaded from an external source (Pagero).  The invoice itself does not have a due date on it so Pagero is loading the due date the same as the invoice date.  However, the supplier record has payment terms of 40 days.  The recalculate due date is checked on the message default tab of the supplier record. It is my understanding that by checking the recalculate box, the payment terms on the supplier record would be used to establish the due date.  The recalculation is not working for many suppliers but it is also working on other suppliers.  I have not been able to find a commonality for the invoices with the wrong due date.  Any ideas?  We are using IFS10 U23. External supplier invoice screenThanks!

I have just been told we are changing Bank to NatWest and will need a new facility to upload our BACs files.  I’m assuming there is no direct upload from IFS that can be set up, so we will need to source a intermediary software that sits between IFS and NatWest.  Do any companies out there use this type of software with IFS and recommend any companies to look at?Thanks Trudy 

I am told that you must have an amount in the “Allowed Overdue Amount” if you want to use the “Allowed Overdue Days” is this true? We prefer to use the Allowed Overdue Days only, are there any prerequisites for this?

Hello - We have a process where some of our suppliers are paid via credit card, which we want to process the true invoice through the system, but then will receive an invoice from the credit card company which will reduce cash.  We want the payment of the supplier invoice to hit a liability account, not the cash account, but we do not know how to set it up to work that way. We have a different payment method for this type of transaction, but how do we get it to DR AP, CR Liability account at PAYMENT of these invoices.
