Hi IFS Community,What is the best practice to generate opening balances in Group Consolidation?In IFS Cloud, there are two options available for generating opening balances in Group Consolidation:- Update Opening Balances- Consolidate Balances (for period 0)To generate opening balances for the 2024 0 period, we used the Update Opening Balances option.Everything is correct except for the lack of allocation of year end result from account 20999 to account 2098  and the lack of allocation the non controlling interest from account 20992 to account 20993. We don't want to change balances in the 2023 12 period, so we cannot register adjustments for the 2023 12 period to make the above allocations. We tried using the Consolidation Opening Balance Update Rule function to allocate the year end result, and it worked correctly, but there is still a lack of allocation of the non controlling interest (only one Consolidation Opening Balance Update Rule can be defined).Do you have any suggestions on

Hi, I would like to inquire if IFS App 10 has the capability to record the Freight & Duties of purchased items to track the total cost of imported items.The scenario is that the billing for freight, duties, and taxes is often delayed, which makes it difficult for us to monitor the total landed cost of the purchased items.Thank you in advance!

Hello All, We have 2 companies. one US and one CAD. We consolidate every month to translate USD to CAD. For 2024 close - we do not want to do a final YE roll because we might have adjusting entries from our year end audit. I was able to complete a Preliminary year end roll for our CAD company, but i keep getting this error message for the US company. As far as i understand, the US and CAD company are set up the same as far as background jobs, but we cannot figure out how to complete the YE roll for the US company. Has anyone experienced this before? or have a suggestion of where to look to complete this task?

Hi All, Is anyone familiar with the requirements in the subject field in relation to German companies? I am wondering how to make our Apps 9 compliant with these requirements. Third party software is being pushed as a solution but we’d like to avoid this if possible and even customize IFS where possible to build a solution. I know that some of the above requirements are process related but don’t have a clear understanding of the technical requirements.Best RegardsJohn

If we setup account in pre posing for inventory part in PO line, should it override M10 posting control at receipt?

I would like to apply a portion of an amount of advance invoice on customer invoice.So I did a customer offset on advance invoice and CUPOA and i have the following error message “advance invoices are not allowed”. 

When you create an advance invoice for a customer order, the advance payment is automatically offset with the final invoice is created. However, if the advance invoice has not been paid at the moment the final invoice is created, the advance invoice is not offset and the final invoice will invoice the full amount. You then need to create a credit invoice for the advance invoice and offset it with the advance invoice. Is there a way to offset the advance invoice with the final invoice, even if it has not been paid yet? Both the advance invoice (e.g. 30%) and the final invoice (70%) should be open. I know that stage billing can be used as an alternative, but the downside of that is that it posts revenue when a stage billing is created. But no costs are created. Therefore, we don't want to use stage billing. 

HI,We have several customers which are in purchasing organisations.Until 2025 the invoice was sent to the purchasing organisation via EDI.And the very same invoice was printed and sent to the customer by mail. We wondered whether it is possible to send the invoice via EDI to the purchasing organisation and additionally via einvoice to the customer? Is there a way to use both message classes at the same time? BR,Alex   

Hey guys,We have a request from a US customer who wants to use electronic payment for Trust of America bank.When contacting the bank, they said they do not have a specific document or layout. Has anyone created layouts for US banks? Is there a document that structures the file to be generated?

Hello IFS friends -I have an issue with supplier invoice due dates.  The invoice is loaded from an external source (Pagero).  The invoice itself does not have a due date on it so Pagero is loading the due date the same as the invoice date.  However, the supplier record has payment terms of 40 days.  The recalculate due date is checked on the message default tab of the supplier record. It is my understanding that by checking the recalculate box, the payment terms on the supplier record would be used to establish the due date.  The recalculation is not working for many suppliers but it is also working on other suppliers.  I have not been able to find a commonality for the invoices with the wrong due date.  Any ideas?  We are using IFS10 U23. External supplier invoice screenThanks!
