Hi IFS Community,

Thank you all in Advance.

Could you please explain why we cannot use “&” in the Invoice Number field in the Manual Customer Invoice /Manual Supplier Invoice Screen??

 

Best Regards,

IFS is built on an Oracle database and in PLSQL language, the character & represents a parameter (i.e. it drives a function unlike a normal character would). If you tried to search for & in the search, it would not act like a normal character, but instead open another box where people can fill out the ID. Because it can’t be searched on, it also can’t be used in the name/ID field.
