Hello everyone,a question for the group: like some others here, we are also obliged to value our inventories according to the lower of cost or market principle (Niederstwertprinzip). Brief explanation: The lower of cost or market principle according to Section 253 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) is a principle of proper accounting (GoB) that requires caution in accounting. It states that assets must be valued at no more than their acquisition or production costs on the balance sheet date or, if lower, at their fair value (market/stock market price) in order to recognize losses in a timely manner. We do here with an analysis from Excel, which is based on the inventory value simulation in IFS and some added values (last procurement, last sale, last consumption by shop order). This works, but is of course time-consuming and (because it is manual) prone to errors. How do you solve this?  

Hi Experts,We're planning a migration of lease accounting contracts to 24R1 and are finding the process complex. It seems there are several interconnected pieces involved, including object transactions, voucher record events etc. This makes us a bit nervous about ensuring a smooth and successful migration.Has anyone here already done a similar migration? I’d greatly appreciate any insights or advice you could share. Specifically, we're wondering about:Key considerations: What are the critical steps and potential pitfalls we should watch out for? Best practices: Are there any recommended approaches or strategies for this type of migration? Sample migration job: If possible, sharing a sample migration job or relevant code snippets would be incredibly helpful.Any guidance you can offer, even general thoughts on the process, would be very welcome as we begin planning this migratio

Hello, INVOICE_ADDRESS_ID of system defined template STDCIN2 has wrong column number, and this is causing error during check external invoice functionality. INVOICE_ADDRESS_ID value from csv file is shown in CORRECTION_REASON_ID and address cannot be validated. Manual correction is required as a work around. The same issue is on IFS10. Thanks  

Hi All. Is there any way to alter the behaviour of the standard field PayTermBaseDate on Sales > Invoicing > Customer Invoice screen such that when a date is entered in format DD/MM it will always select a future date? Currently it will sometimes select a date for the current year even if it is in the past. The issue we have is that when changing the base date on an invoice the system assumes a date and the invoice can appear to be overdue for the previous year. 

Dear Community Members,one of our companies faced a situation where company A received several invoices, but they were paid by a company B. How can we register payment transactions and maintain accurate account balances on both sides in IFS? Both companies are conducted via IFS10 (UPD29), but there is no multi-company or consolidation configuration implemented. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Regards,Karolina WowakSenior ERP Administrator

Hello,We have an issue, when a supplier payment proposal contains 15 invoices for differents suppliers and the payment Advice email with attached PDF have been sent for each supplier, there is one supplier that has received the email with a PDF blank (the payment advice info not showing).We did some verifications and did not find anything unusual for this supplier. When we tried the ‘Show Document’ from Report Archive we have this error message: When we tried to preview the xml (for the same Payment Advice) via report designer, the report PDF has been generated correctly for this supplier with all payment advice info.Please see below the PDF Blank that supplier received: 

Hi,We are on IFS Cloud and have a new starter who is a Transaction Processing Manager but despite having projection access to the Supplier Payment Proposals screen cannot view any data. Are we missing some setup where the user needs to be added to a screen to permit access to the historical data? Please adviseThanks

Hi CommunityDoes anyone know where i can find a setup guide for intercompany invoices.We implement IFS Cloud at the beginning of the year and this functionnality was not explained /tested.Thank you all

Hi, I just want to ask if in IFS Cloud there is a duplicate feature for mixed payments like in IFS 8? And is there also a mixed payment template feature? Thank you.Regards,Nargis

 We recently updated to 24R1 and noticed that a function that is used frequently by us for manually posted invoices was removed. The ability to copy and paste posting information. This is used due to our authorization combination rules that many within the company fail to recognize. After filling in the posting information authorizers and acknowledgers are removed leaving the invoice in status “Balance”. The easiest way to sole is by copying posting information, deleting and pasting to trigger the rule.  I can not find a reason to why it was removed anywhere and if it will return in future updates.   

Hi, I'm getting below error when sending verification proposal :Parsing Error : Element '{http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope}GatewayTest' has a value which does not match the fixed value defined in the DTD/Schema. Also what is the connection with the outgoing load file ID and response send to HMRC ?Your advice is highly appreciate. Thanks.

Hello everyone,Just wondering if anyone knows how to enable writeback on the GL Period Budget information source?  Has anyone done this before?  How is the writeback interface created? 

Considering that IFS does not allow the creation of a supplier check without generating a voucher, what is the recommended approach to handle post-dated checks where the check is issued to the supplier ahead of time, but the accounting entry should only be recognized in a future period?

Dear IFS-Community,is it possible to set up a pseudo code with a tax code?I already checked the external payment parameters but I can’t set up the tax code for the whole message code.I’m a bit confused because in my opinion this is a standard case if I want to automate transactions on accounts.Hopefully I’m just blind 🤓GreetingsFrederic 

Hello everyone, We are currently in the process of automating the customer reminder process and want to use the Event Action Send Email for this. We would also like to personalise the email for the customer as much as possible (which we consider to be a minor requirement 😊 ), i.e. the customer number and customer name should appear in the subject line.Now that doesn't seem like such a small request, and we haven't been able to manage it.😑We are unable to proceed with the values in the conditions in the ‘Event Action Details’ screen. However, I sincerely hope that the issue is on the screen side 🙄 and that it is quite simple to resolve. Can anyone help us please?    

We are using MRO in IFS Apps 10, mainly for Component Repair Orders and Complex Assembly.We are facing an issue where costs for Component Repair Orders (Customer-Owned parts) are correctly accumulated in WIP, but are not transferred to COGS when the related Customer Order is invoiced. As a result, our finance team has to manually move WIP to COGS.Current ProcessOur standard process is: Create Component Repair Order (Customer-Owned part). Book material and labor → costs are posted to WIP (working correctly). Create Sales Line manually in Component Repair Order. From CRO, use RMB option “Create Customer Order” and transfer sales lines. System automatically creates Customer Order and Customer Order Line. Invoice is posted and paid. Observed IssueWhen the Customer Order Line is created automatically, the ownershi

We observed, in Cloud 24R2, that in GL Voucher Rows Analysis, the code part fields are all clustered together and it would not be possible to insert a different column between them and have the columns exported to Excel that way. We can, for example, use Column Chooser to put Amount after Cost Center, but when exporting the results to Excel, this column ordering is not enforced, instead all code string columns are in order together. Furthermore, we could not place fields in between the code string fields within page designer, as code string is it’s own group. Are we missing something, or is not possible to export results from here with columns in between the code string columns?

When you have transaction code external on an invoice, the cost does not come through, works fine with transaction code MANUAL and M93. Is there a basic data setup that is missing?

Hello, most of our taxable suppliers were handled outside of IFS because they were on a credit card. We are now limiting credit card usage. Is there a General Ledger query I can run to look at possible sales tax owed by GL account? 

Hi All,  We are evaluating Peppol compliant e-invoicing suppliers to cover Western Europe.  Does anybody have any recommendations on providers to consider or avoid?  Our criteria are: compliance; integration with IFS; experience; complexity/time to implement; and cost. Thanks.
