Our customer is facing an issue in IFS Applications 10 related to Payment Reference validation when generating ISO20022 payment files.
For ISO20022 payment files, they need the Payment Reference (not the Invoice Number) to be populated as remittance information.
To achieve this, they have set the following:
Company → Invoice → Supplier Invoice Validation Method = Used
However, Once Supplier Invoice Validation Method is set to Used, IFS enforces validation on the Payment Reference field in the Manual Supplier Invoice page as the validation allows only numeric values.
In order to bypass this validation, they have also enabled “Do Not Validate Payment Reference" option at the supplier level > Invoice > General. But it does not seem to work.
Is there any workaround or configuration that allows alphanumeric payment references without disabling the company‑level validation?
