Hello, we testing off of IFS App 10 and will soon convert to IFS Cloud. In our current old ERP system we issue materials from the warehouse to the production area and its immediately assigned to cost of goods sold (no visibility of WIP). Our inventory is averaged weighted cost and our system allows inventory to go negative. In order to prevent disruption when transitioning from our old system to IFS, we are looking at options to be able to issue material from raw materials directly into a WIP GL account and somehow be able to receive/close out shop orders/DOP orders through backflushing without getting errors for having insufficient materials. Our current idea was to create an inventory location with non-nettable so its not seen by MRP/purchasing and then have shop orders consume strictly from those particular locations, however we run into the insufficient material problem. The assumption I have seen with IFS is that it assumes your BOM is 100% accurate when backflushing which is n

BackgroundOur Finnish company uses Invoice Payment Reference Numbers.Company/Invoice tab GeneralFor customer invoices, we have enabled the “RF Finnish Modula 10” as Cust Inv Creation Method.In order to get validation of supplier’s payment references when uploading supplier invoices, we have enabled “Used” as Supp Inv Validation Method.IssueWhen we receive invoices from our suppliers (via Pagero), we will get a validation of the payment reference in the upload. This works normally quite well with domestic suppliers, however, our foreign suppliers’ invoices are stopped with load error "Bank Reference has invalid format!”This is due to the fact we are not receiving a correct payment reference by them (which is not surprising, they are using the reference modula for whatever country they are located in), error relates to the field ncf_reference / EpiReference be

Hello,We have been struggling for a long time with our authorization rules from purchase to pay.We do have authorization rules today to ensure that the responsible for our code dimensions combinations approves a purchase or invoice before it’s processed.Therefore, we have rules on the requisitions where it is possible to set this up. We also have the same combination rules on invoice postings to catch invoices without a connection to a PR or where we have difference between invoice and PR.Some problems•    It’s time-consuming to administer two sets of rules.•    We do not have the same control of purchase orders without PR.Does anyone have a suggestion for us to improve? I think we are able to change the way of setting up rules. The needs the business have today is to let the responsible for the budgeting per code combination approve what purchases we make or what invoices we pay. Please share your examples. How

Hi, I would like to clear off the tax when doing a customer write-off. For the write off code, I made it taxable (for WO).

We have a transaction whereby 10 hours of labor was booked to a project activity at a total cost of $1,000. Would it be possible to reverse this using a journal entry (ie. cost is reduced by $1,000 and Used/Actual hours is reduced by 10 hours) ? Any help would be appreciated.

We get the above error when creating a collective invoice for the specific customer. The straighforward fix would be to add the payment method ‘SEPA’ to the customer > payment > payment methods right? But the problem is we don’t use SEPA

Hi IFS’s ExpertsWe would like to use the supplier Offset option to link these 2 lines (1 invoice & 1 payment). I don’t know why but, the only option we can use to match it is the manual option, and unfortunatly in this case, we are not allowed to have any difference (0.01 in this case)Any advice on how match these 2 transactions please ? FYI, we have a rule that allows differences in these casesRegards

Hello Community,We are on APPs 10 and have a process question.  The have several SUPIAs created on account from processing final invoices that were less than the initial advance invoice.  For example, we processed a proforma (advanced invoice) for $40, 500 -  posted it and paid.  Then the FINAL invoice was processed and paid, but the amount was for $40,000, creating a SUPIA entry for $500.  In other words, we overpaid the supplier.  What is the best practice to clear these remaining amounts?  Can this handled on the next supplier invoice where we somehow deduct the over payments?  Or can this be handled in a supplier payment proposal...or maybe using the supplier offset function?   Any guidance for this would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Hello community,In IFS Cloud, we have noticed a random anomaly in the content of the payment notification generated on a supplier payment order linked to an offset.When the payment notification is generated after validation of the payment order on the company N#1, two other offsets appear on the transfer notification.Those two offsets aren’t in the same company, nor to the same supplier/customer pair. Does anyone have any knowledge regarding this situation please?Big thanks

Hello, I have a question regarding stopping users from making transactions in a prior period after the date as passed.Ideally, I'm looking to see if IFS can support stopping any back-dated transactions in a prior period like a Shipment after the date has pasted in that period.Example: If the current date is 6/1/24 and the period ends on 5/31/24. Any shipment that is attempted to be dated with a 5/31/24 date or earlier should not be allowed.We would like to prevent any inventory/labor/shipment etc. transactions from taking place after the end of the period, while allowing for Journal entries to continue as needed.Wondering if there is a Company or Accounting setting I could be missing or if this level of granularity exists in IFS Cloud.

HI I have a client that has three different instances.  Each instance is made up of several companies.  In Apps 9, they would use consolidation and consolidate each instance (2 of the instances) and download a file and add them to the third instance to consolidate to a parent company. They are now going to the Cloud and now have to do Group Consolidation.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the other two instances master company data out of the instance and into the third instance?ExampleInstance one:  four companies that will consolidate into a master company called 49.Instance two:  three companies that consolidate into a master company called 25.Instance three: need master company 49 and master company 25 data into this instance. This instance has two companies that will be consolidated together into company 10 with the 49 and 25 to a final master company 99.Any suggestions?Thank you.
