Hello IFS Community,We are currently upgrading from APPS 8 to IFS Cloud (23R2) and are exploring the Voucher Approval Workflow functionality to manage the approval of M & Q Vouchers in the system.During our testing, we ‘ve identified a potential control weakness. Specifically, it appears that one user (e.g., Accountant) can enter a voucher, and another user (e.g., Accounting Manager) can add/delete voucher rows or edit the code parts, amounts, date, and text before approving it. This is problematic as the Accounting Manager can essentially bypass the ‘Separate User Approval’ setting which is designed to block the creator of the voucher from also approving it, by simply editing most of the voucher elements before approving it.From our understanding, this feature has been around since APPS 10. We are reaching out to the community to see if anyone has a suggestion to prevent this from happening or if anyone has compensating controls used to mitigate this risk.Thanks,Mark

Hi, one of our German entities have received a request to run the following reports out of the audit interface assistant in IFS. However they did not give us any clue as to which of “Audit Sources” in the audit assistant matches with their request (see snapshot below). Can anyone help ? Even the native speakers in the company can determine which audit sources translates to the below. It might be better for someone that has been through VAT audits and have IFS as an ERP system.

Hi, Heros,I knew IFS would allow to apply the credit notes if the total amount for the vendor in one payment order was higher than zero, but what about the vendor issues a credit note for whatever reasons and reimburses the money without additional invoice?  Is there a better way to handle negative supplier credit note if I don’t want to use manual voucher?  best,David

Currently, when we create an invoice from the service contract, the contact isn’t pulling onto our invoice. The data pulls from the contact from the customer order screen (Involved parties tab in Aurena).  However, that has to be manually populated every time the invoice is created for a service contract on the invoice play details screen.  Where should the contact auto pull from to populate the customer order screen or should we pull that info onto the invoice from a different spot?   

Does IFS APPS10 release 14 support Korean VAT Tax?  We only want to collect and not report VAT. We currently use AvaTax for USD and CAD companies.  Can IFS support Korean VAT Tax in the USD Company?

This is regarding the JPK (SAF-T - Standard Audit File for Tax) that will come into effect 1st of January 2025 for Poland.According to new regulations (Income Tax Act) Poland business will be committed to prepare and send to tax authorities SAF-T files according to new logic structures:JPK_KR_PD (KR for Accounting Ledgers & PD for Income Tax)JPK_ST (ST for Fixed Assets).It seems this should be implemented by IFS as a part of country pack as this is polish specificity driven by law-imposed regulations.Please have insight into this and advise.

Hi,It is possible to peg a started shop order with WIP to a DOP order created from a project supply request.When doing so, the WIP is visible in the DOP cost as actual costs.BUTThose costs are not visible on the project.I would expect that the WIP would be transferred to the project as used costs when the shop order is pegged to the DOP.However, I imagine that because it is not possible to connect an activity to a shop order that is no longer planned, there is no mechanism for updating the M40 transactions with project details after they have already been created and used costs are not visible on the project until receiving the shop order.Is this assumption correct or am I missing something? Many thanks.
