Hello,We are in the middle of our implementation of IFS Cloud. We are currently on 24R1.How have other companies handled Vertex in their testing environments?  Our testing environment has the same Company ID as production (since we clone prod into testing), How can we make sure our invoices in the testing environment don't flow through to Vertex to the main Company ID with all our real invoices?Thanks,Nate

Hi. I'm currently using IFS8. We have direct debit with multiple suppliers and all transactions are posted as SUPOA for payment. Invoices posted as SI. Is there anyways to set for auto matching for SUPOA and SI accordingly ? Means amount same and invoice no same then auto matching can be executed. Volume is about 1k monthly.Thank you.

Hello, We are in IFS 10 now, but we are thinking about upgrading to Cloud. If we are using Posting Proposals in IFS10, can we go back to not using it when we upgrade to Cloud?Thanks,Cora

Does IFS offer any smarter process for reconciliation of Supplier Statements? Currently we will export individual supplier ledger into excel and match with the statement provided, manually checking for discrepancies or balance. Curious if anyone had a quicker/smarter process for these that can reduce the time spent on these?  

Hi Everyone, One of our customers is looking for a way to generate GL balances in a currency other than the Accounting and Parallel currencies. Does IFS offer any core functionality to support this requirement? Thank you!

Hello! I am trying to process an External customer payment in IFS Cloud, where the Invoice ID/Invoice Reference is not provided in the External Payment File. No matter which setup I use in the External Payment parameters, the system is not able to identify the Customer ID and create a Customer Payment on Account. It always creates a Parked Payment. Below is the Identifier setup for the used ‘External Customer Payment Parameters” The below is the External Payment file template I used, created from the MT940 system template. And finally, below is the sample file I created using the above external file template: Once this file loaded, the payment line (which does not have an Invoice reference) is always identified as a parked payment (Although I pass the customer ID ~ to be mapped to the field “IDENTITY_CODE” in the external file template)Could you kindly explain to me how the data setup should be done in order for IFS to identify Customer Payment on Accounts, and are there any specific c

Hi Everyone, Wondering if you can shed some light on next steps that should be taken to rectify this issue one of our users is experiencing. Here is the breakdown: -Posted supplier invoice in July using the “prelim post” this created a voucher for $26738.59. -In Aug when the invoice came in, he noticed the amount was different than what he posted, so he altered the gross amount to $26,672.11 then final posted the invoice, which then created another voucher and a discrepancy of $66.48 in the ledger. -He then cancelled that whole invoice and tried to do the manual supplier invoice over again (maybe used cancel and create?) using gross amount $26738.59 in hopes to change it to the correct amount, but cannot.  *When there is a prelim posted invoice, you cannot change the gross amount.I am not as strong on the accounting side, could someone assist on what steps we should take next?If you need more information I can provide! THANKS! 

Hi Community, can someone help me which settings have to be made that the system uses a name to try match with customer, please? Unfortunately, I have only the customers name who made a payment to us but no invoice number or similar. from the statement I know who sent the money and I would like to do a match by customer name. Is this possible and if yes, what setting is needed?  Thanks, Philipp   

Laser check is developed using IFS report designer and it aligns with the pre-printed check in Dev environment. But when the same rdl and xsd is moved to prod, the alignment is completely off.The “Payment Document → Supplier Check” settings are identical, printers are identical. So not sure what causes the mis alignment.Any suggestions?Thanks in advance  

Hi All,I have a clarification with regards to the Supplier Check Templates and would like to know the logic behind printing of 10 invoices per remittance if the Check Template ID is defined as LASER and 14 invoices when it is defined as NORMAL.  Also observed that, when a cheque is printed with the Template ID Laser, it generates 2 result keys if more than 10 invoices are  matched with a check.Example: Matching of 16 invoices to a check. Appreciate your support.Best RegardsRazan

Dear IFS R&D,we are using General Ledger tabular model and PBI reports on top of that (BS and IS). It works fine for Oriflame Group purposes, however we would like to use it for statutory purposes too. Since we are using IFS Finance globally, our Oriflame entities (approx. 70 companies) around the globe are using global (Oriflame Group) Chart of Accounts (CoA). The translation to entity local CoA is done via attribute on Code A (COALOC is the code of the attribute).Then 2 kind of statements (BS, P&L) are usually needed for global business:Group/global BS and IS - in our case based on codeA value, which is feasible to do with current tabular model Entity local BS and IS - based on Attribute value (COALOC) which is not feasible to reach with the current model.Therefore we propose to enhance tabular model with a possibility to see the hierarchy of BS and P&L (accounting structure and balances) by Attribute Value. To make this more flexible the code of the attribute used for th

I am trying to understand the posting types M187 and M189.M187: “Purchase charges, absorbed in inventory value”M189: “Arrival Charges”Both are setup to reflect the expected use:M187 to be the counterposting to M1 at arrival with a charge amount that should be included in the inventory value.M189 to be the counterposting of a charge not included in the inventory value.It seems I misunderstood something because that is not how it works. I gather M189 is doing what I expected M187 to do.So when is M187 applied? And for what use?SincerelyJonas
