We need to import payments from a payment broker through the External File interface. But the file amounts are created with the thousand separator dot (.). We have tried to remove the dot using formulas in the External File Template Details section but with no result. On all rows with high amounts the status turns to “Unpack error” and the error message is “ character to number conversion error”.We would very much prefer to load these files without having to manipulate them before they are imported.Please advice!

New Customer, currently going live in January 2023We are on 22R1SU5, and we frequently get many server errors when navigating pages - sometimes these go away when hitting refresh / reload, but occasionally these persist.  A user this morning was going into “Supplier Invoices for Final Posting Analysis” and was repeatedly getting the server error: Error while serializing contents.This error happens when the server cannot serialize the data to be sent to the client.A common cause is that one attribute's length exceeds the defined maxlength in the projection.To find more info, open Log Window or Debug Console, refresh and then check Network Tab in DevTools.

Hello,What’s the best way to make a GL account inactive in IFS Cloud? The account must of course be retained as it has historical data and transactions but no new postings to it should be allowed (no manual voucher postings, not allowed to be use in prepostings and no postings to it via posting control)I set the valid period on it to expire but I can still add the account into a posting control.

Dear community, Each month we raise a voucher to manually accrue depreciation on some of our assets.  As the depreciation accounts are ledger accounts we process the journal as a Q voucher.  Unfortunately, we are not able to create an interim (reversal) from a Q voucher.Are you aware of any way to get around this so we don’t have to manually post a second journal to reverse the Q? Any ideas?  Thanks, David. 

Hi, We have recently gone live on IFS and we have a Sales team taking orders over the weekend. Where customers are outside of their terms, it is blocking the sales order from being released. I don’t want to increase credit limits, but will the Allowed Overdue Days enable the order to be released? Nobody in Finance works at the weekend so the orders can’t be released for production. Thank you  

Hello,  We used the the cancel matching functionnality of a  customer mixed payment. It created a CUPOA with the company at the company at the credit account, not the customer Then we tried to use this CUPOA to be matched with another customer invoice. We couldn’t find this CUPOA in the offset proposal. You will find attached to this message the postings generated and a screen where we can’t find our CUPOA in a manual offset proposal What to do to resolve this problem ? Any ideas ? Best regards.

Hi Community, One of our clients encountered an issue with their opening balances. They mistakenly uploaded the opening balances for the year 2020 in the "0" period, despite not having a 2019 year in the system. Later, they reversed the balances in Period 1 and re-uploaded the opening balances for Period 1.Currently, the balances are correct in the 2020-12 period. We are now performing the year-end process for 2020 to transfer balances to the 2021-0 period. However, I noticed that the Cost/Revenue GL balances have incorrectly carried over into the 2021 opening balances.Is there a way to correct this? Would it be possible to proceed with backend data corrections to remove the Cost/Revenue balances from the 2021-0 period?We are using Apps7.Thank you in advance for any suggestions or guidance.

Have selected the checkbox for ‘Use as Customer Repayment’ in Payment Formats per Company screen, but still don’t have the option to select it as payment method when creating Repayment Order? What else needs to be selected/set up to allow this?

Hi,As part of our monthly reconciliations, we are required to send to our banking partner an aged debtors. I want to use IFS to do this rather than manually creating an excel sheet which is taking too long, however they’ve advised they need the report by transaction date, rather than due date. I can’t seem to find the function to change this when ordering the report, is anyone able to offer assistance?Thanks

We have many manual vouchers with small amounts that we do not want to bother approving. We do not want to give the users the option to select another voucher series for low amount vouchers as this will only result in mistakes.Is there any way to set up the voucher approval process so that these low amount vouchers will be approved automatically?

External Supplier Invoice Load errors  Inter- site invoices - error message  is   “Receipt xxxxx does not belong to any of the given purchase orders”.   The receipt number is the delivery note number we will be receiving the goods on.   this has happened all of a sudden .There is a workaround by removing the receipt reference  on the External supplier invoice ,  which then allows me to create the invoice.  I would like to know the root cause to save time going forward.

Has anyone managed to reject an expense claim at the first level of approval?   IFS Cloud 24R2 SU2
