Hello all, My customer has created an invoice on the 1st of May for a customer order which has been delivered 4 months before. Each month, on the 4th the interim sales voucher is created to recognize accruals.  Since the invoice has been created on 1st of May, before the interim sales voucher creation for April, it seems the system did not include the order in the accrual for the month of April. Is that a normal system behavior?  It is written on the documentation that the IS voucher is created for a period. As the invoice was created in May, the order should have generated accruals in April from my understanding. If someone has some ideas/ views to share about it, I’d be very grateful.ThanksTanya

Hi Team,It would be great if any of you can advise how chart of account should be setup for below posting controls and what is the logic used? ( whether same account should be used for counter postings etc)   

We are currently in a dialog on a case with Support for improvements, but I’m curious about response times for other cloud customers in GL Balance Analysis/GL Balance Analysis Basic.Queries like the example below returns 84 accounts + balance in about 5 seconds when there are about 60 000 records in ACCOUNTING_BALANCE_TAB for the filter. A similar search for other accounts use about 2 ½ minute to return 33 accounts +balance for about 1,2 millions records for the filter in the same table.Our Size on Disk represent the amount of data since Go-live in April 2023.I’m looking forward to get more knowledge about your experienced response times for similar queries, your size on disk and if you have enabled the In-Memory Acceleration Package.Example search for year, period(s) and account(s)Size on disk from our test environment - about 700 MB more in PROD today 

I’m currently experiencing issues when pulling my GL Actuals into my Planning Entry when completing a forecast for the remaining year.I use the standard functionality to complete this task, however, I get the following error message.This will be across multiple companies, The message does not allow me to determine which items have uploaded and which haven’t. I don’t have a mechanism to allow a quick review and is very labour intensive.Has anyone experienced the same issue, or have a better process to complete this?Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks

Where can we get a listing of transaction codes from the ERPs to allow us to analyze which transactions we would consider “manual journal entries”. Are these codes subject to stricter control within and outside of the IFS system? Also does IFS APPS10 have the capability to implement a “park/post” feature that enforces segregation of duties for manual journal entry prep and post? Thank you,

Hi,I am currently working on an Avalara tax integration for a Canadian customer.Does anyone have experience with Avalara Tax integration for a Canadian company? Your insights will be most valuable when sorting the questions below. 🙂The correct tax amounts are in the application message for the Avalara tax return. However, IFS fetches only PST/HST/QST taxes, and the GST amount is dropped from the Customer Invoice tax line. 1. Is there any special IFS Application setting for a Canadian delivery address?2. Why are GST/TPS taxes not fetched in Customer Invoice lines?3. Why does the Application receive the country as the jurisdiction code for the GST/TPS tax line?4. Is there any special configuration on the Avalara side for Canadian tax? SS - Application Message SS - Customer Invoice   Thank you

We already reconciled the 4/1/25 bank rec.  A clerk made an error and brought in another bank rec with a date of 4/1/25.  IFS will not let us remove the bank rec.  The error is that there are matched transactions.  I believe it is from the original 4/1/25 bank rec.Is there a way to un-finalize the original 4/1/25 bank rec? Thanks  

Regarding the pain002 file status report upload, we have received 2 files. One file has ACTC - Accepted technical validation, and the other file has ACCP. Once we upload the file which has the status code ACTC, then the order got acknowledged and the status code got changed accordingly. But when we upload the next file which has status code ACCP against the payment order, the system says that cannot acknowledge the order which is already acknowledged and the status is also not getting updated, it remains with the previous status code.How to handle this in IFS?

Hello,We are currently migrating from IFS Apps 10 to IFS Cloud and have encountered an issue with the CIS data migration. Since CIS was previously an extension and is now part of the core IFS Cloud product, we expected its data migration to be included in the standard scope. However, we have been informed that this may be a billable activity.Has anyone else in the UK gone through this process? If so, was the CIS data migration included in your standard migration, or were you charged separately for it?Would really appreciate any insights!

Can we recognize cost of good sold when the actual delivery has not done, but a stage billing invoice has created ?

Hello -We are on apps10 update 25.  We are looking to use the advance customer invoice to bill our customers a prepayment amount.  I have been through all of the posts and see that the instant invoice has a check box to make it an advance invoice.  Then at some later point, the final invoice can be connected to the advance invoice.  I can not get the advance invoice to post so I assume I am missing some setup steps. Create collective vouchers is using IP19 but can not create due to unspecified errors. When I print the instant advance invoice, it is coming through as an invoice type of INSTINV with an invoice series of II.  I think it should come through as invoice series AD.  Also, the RMB from the instant invoice to select advance invoice is not available.  Does anyone have some guidance on how to setup the basics to use the advance invoice?TIA

We are running Apps10 UPD19 and are having problems with our Advance Invoice printouts.  This started in UPD14.When we print an Advance Invoice - if Finance overrides the default description (Prepayment) to anything else, the line item section of the invoice does not print.  It goes directly from the header section to the subtotal.If Finance leaves the default text as Prepayment - the invoice prints correctly.Looking at our report archive info - IFS uses our Invoice (CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP) Report definition for Advance Invoices.  When I compare the XML data for both invoices (prints correct vs. drops line item table), both appear to be correctly format XML files and the descriptive text is in the same tag (<CUSTOMER_PART_DESC>).  The solution IFS support provided is to use a different report layout, except the report layout that works is an old layout with the wrong company contact info.  I’m trying to figure out why my correct layout (I only have 1) works for all other invoices

Hi Community,Could someone explain how warranty retention (retainage) is handled in IFS Cloud from a Finance perspective? Customer side (Accounts Receivable) Does IFS create a specific ledger item and GL posting type for the retention amount when the customer invoice is posted? Supplier side (Accounts Payable) Is there an equivalent posting type / account for retention payable on supplier invoices or sub‑contracts? If these postings exist, what are their standard codes (e.g. RET_AR, RET_AP) and where do we activate or customise them? Any pointers to the relevant screens or setup steps would be much appreciated.Thanks!

Hi IFS Community,Dealing with intercompanies transactions, we have a Company A (“Customer Company”) acquiring services from a Company B (“Supplier Company”) to build an Asset.To do so, Company A establish a Purchase Order with different purchase order lines with a Tax Code “VAT on Assets”, while the Tax Code for the Customer Order in Company B is “VAT on Goods & Services sold”.As, we are using an MHS process flow to create automatically the Customer Order in the “Supplier Company” from the Purchase Order in the “Customer Company”, and then generate a Customer Invoice in the “Supplier Company” which will generate automatically a Supplier Invoice in the “Customer Company”, we have a problem as the Tax Codes on the supplier invoice are not the right ones as they don’t heritate from the Tax Codes indicated on the Purchase Orders lines (ie “VAT on Assets”), but from the only Tax Code specified on the Supplier page.It is wrong as the Supplier can provide services which can be subject to
