Dear @sibouc 

We are in the process of integration with IFS APPS 10.

But it should be the same standard process.

What exactly do you want import to IFS? Travel expenses?

Hi, 

I’ve seen this done for a number of clients. The best way to do this really depends on the situation / client.

In some cases, the expense report payments are to be made from IFS via the supplier invoice, in other cases, the payments are done outside of IFS and we pass voucher rows. 

So… The two common flows would be external supplier invoice or external vouchers. 

Both are fairly easy to set up and work through.  

The only difficulty (somewhat difficult) was when the client needed concur with IFS Projects. In this case, the expenses would then need an activity sequence.  Integrating concur for the activity sequence (constantly evolving) can be more difficult than a static list (for example a COA).  Do able. 

Best regards, 

Thomas

We have IFS cloud. We’re unsure if, like @Thomas Peterson mentions, we’ll be doing supplier invoice (like we currently do for expenses) or if we’ll be going for the voucher rows.

The expenses would be any type of expenses we currently do on Excel: travel, indirect spend, some urgent direct spend. Via personal payment reimbursement or company credit card statement payment.

Dear @sibouc 

you can use both methods. In IFS there exist different “External File Templates”.

For example the first one you can use it if you want to create manual supplier invoices.

Then the csv file needs the structure with H I P T N V O (STDSIN1).

Hi ​@Thomas Peterson & ​@Link , I would have a question to you regarding Concur & IFS Cloud integration: do you know based on your experience if the solution with the external supplier invoices can be assosiated with the employees set up as suppliers?

Goal would be to reimburse such expenses from IFS via payment batches. The issue that we see by this solution with employees set up as suppliers is access to employee personal data (GDPR). Not sure if in IFS we could assign employees to dedicated suppleir group, but I am not sure if we could restrict the access to view this particular group. Do you think such access restriction would be possible in IFS Cloud? (to differentiate access to regulatr suppliers vs employees set up as suppliers based on permission sets/roles).

Summary of the question:

1. can employees be set up as suppliers and expenses posted on these accounts via external supplier invoice?
2. can access to personal data of suppliers be somehow differentiated based on their category? 

Thank you a lot for your support. 

Have a great day.

Best regards
