We are upgrading to Cloud from Apps10, and found while testing functionality that we could not post a Manual Supplier Invoice without unchecking this box. (it was checked in Apps10 and did not have this issue)Just want to make sure that there are no unforeseen repercussions to unchecking this box.We do not use posting proposals...and post each invoice as it is created. 

Hi, Does anyone know a way of making the Payment Term Base Date on a Project Invoice automatically equal that of the Application Date on the Application for Payment?ThanksStephen

We are importing the fixed asset subledger into IFS for an entity that has an Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) asset with a negative balance.  The asset came to have a negative balance after a valuation adjustment at the end of 2022.IFS does not allow you to import a negative cost or a positive accumulated depreciation resulting in a negative balance on an asset.Does anyone else have an issue with ARO objects having a negative balance and how are these dealt with in IFS?Thanks,Monique

We recently upgraded from IFS 8.1 to IFS Cloud 2023.2.2.In 8, we had the ability to set a shop floor employee job for difference as an indirect operation or a direct operation.  In IFS Cloud, we do not see a place to set a direct job for difference, only indirect.Has this functionality been completely removed with intent, or was it moved?Is anyone handling this situation differently? Screenshots of IFS 8 and IFS Cloud pertinent screens attached.

When creating AFPs with retentions, it has been observed that the retention percentage does not always calculate correctly. This creates issues when we receive payment certificates from customers, as we are unable to match the values accurately.For example, in a contract with a value of £75,542.08 and a 5% retention, the expected retention amount should be £3,777.10. However, the application calculates the retention as £3,777.16, resulting in a 3p discrepancy when releasing the interim retentions.Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? It may cause problems with customers when paying invoices. 

Dear Community,in our company we’d like to implement MT100 bank payment format for payments in EUR. Could you please kindly advise where to define that the cost of such payment should on our side - ‘OUR’ identifier. I cannot see any place for such info in the Electronic Payment Address. Have you faced such an issue? Do you have any suggestions where to look for? We are also testing the option of Polish Split Payment solution of vat payment in accounting currence. If there are any Polish specialist with experience in this area here, I’d be also grateful for any feedback. Thanks :)

After defining a custom rule with SA070200 code in Avalara, is it possible to apply this custom rule to a charge or non-inventory part in IFS? 

In IFS, when labor clocks into a shop order, the cost is derived from the "Labor Class," which is defined in the routing of the part. However, when labor clocks into an indirect job, the cost is calculated as hours worked × standard cost, where the standard cost is defined in HR > Standard Costs. The issue is that these standard cost rates have not been updated in a long time. We are concerned that changing it might impact other accounts or areas within the system.Before making any updates, We’d like to understand: What specific accounts or financial areas would be affected by a change to the standard cost? Are there any dependencies or system configurations that need to be checked before updating this value? I’d appreciate any insights or experiences from those who have dealt with this before.Thanks in advance!

Hi Friends,Accounting team proceeded to AR matching, and few days later,, the matching  user ID disappeared. any reason for this?Kindly help 

We are experiencing performance issues with job cost calculation. We would be interested to know if we are unique in having the Job Cost Calculation take hours to process 20,000 - 30,000 transactions and if RnD could consider addressing the issue identified with the specific query described below. Detailed logging in a development environment has pin-pointed that half the time taken by the scheduled job opening this cursor:Job_Cost_Calculation_Util_API.Get_Emp_Std_Agreements___"get_rec"This cursor joins to 2 views (rate_agreement_detail_uiv and job_transaction_parameter_uiv) which both do expensive PIVOT WITHIN GROUP operations pivoting data from child parameter tables. Then this query takes the results of those pivoted views and tries to join to them in a complex filter. The job_transaction_parameter_uiv join is efficient because it uses transaction_id directly pushing the predicate into the view. However, the rate_agreement_detail_uiv join does full table scans to create a data set o

Hello, We are currently migrating from V9 to V11 and we noticed that the task Create Customer Invoices is not working for the invoice type CUSTORDDEB( Invoices created from orders) if the payment method at customer level is  Wire Transfer and there is no Payment Address ID set. I know for external invoices there is a setup in External Customer Invoices Parameters to uncheck the option Validate Payment Address ID; Is there any way to set this up also for  invoice type CUSTORDDEB?We do not want that validation. Thanks,Ioana
