Hello
You can do account matching for non AP/AR accounts.
If the account is connected to AP/AR then check if open items are offset (invoices and payments are matched). After all open items are offset then system should not insert the account in OB voucher.
Hope this helps
Just one remark - in case of opening balances transfer to new year, IFS is checking balance at lowest detail level - code string combination. Account could have balance zero, but on debit with one combination of codes and on credit with another one (eg. with cost centers A and B).
Such detailed balances, if not needed in next year, should be closed by additional voucher entries.
id like to piggy back on this. We have not had any transactions in some accounts for 6 months (in 2024)- and yet the accounts rolled to the new year (2025).
What am i missing?
Hi,
Example of Adam’s point. Assume account 11111 it may have 0 balance when viewing the account only. But in IFS you can potentially have values in the other 9 code parts (or whatever is used). In the same assume account 11111 has posting for another code part values + 10 for code part B and -10 for code part B. The balance at the account is 0, but the true balance considering code part b is +10 for value 1, and -10 for value 2. That’s not a 0 balance when we look at the entire string. In balance analysis choose the option to include the other code parts. Balance analysis can show various levels of balance, Account and code B for example. This would be more detailed than if we only show the balance by account.
If this helps, / solves the question, Adam is the guy who solved this. I just added additional explanation.
ahhh, you are correct. not fun.
thank you for clarification!
Hi Thomas - we are running into an issue, unsure if you know how to fix this. The accounts with offsetting code part amounts were our conversion accounts when we went live in 2024. Somehow the uploads to set up these accounts transferred into the Currency Code Part. I checked the uploads, currency code part was not populated. The accounts are set up as Currency Balance Accounts, It wont let me toggle the code part to allow it. Therefore, i cannot create a voucher to clear these balances. Do you have an suggestions on how to clear these balances to be able to close these accounts? We are baffled how it even contains the currency Code part even now (ex: June 2025) on transactions, as they are not entered on our uploads, but show up endlessly from our upload templates.
Voucher Upload template (notice - currency code part not populated) Voucher No 2371000005
Screenshot of the GL Voucher Rows analysis Voucher No 2371000005. It has USD in the Currency CODE PART!
Account Setup: currency code part BLOCKED
trying to change currency code part to CAN, i get this error
I have checked code string completion - nothing there. I have tried to create an M voucher upload with a different Currency code (i know code vs code part is different, just trying different options here) - that didnt work. I cant entet the currency code part on a voucher. I have tried a Q voucher. I have tried an external file upload.
Im not sure how we are supposed to close these accounts (down to the code part level) without being able to make them have a currency code part.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Currency code part, with the currency balance function, does not allow direct booking of the code part value. The code part vales in the code string are system generated.
Example assume code b is currency balance. Assume a manual voucher to account 1234 (a currency balance account) in currency EUR. IFS will populate code B with EUR automatically. This is not available for user to accidentally enter USD in that code B.
If you need to clear a currency balance you need to do a posting in that currency, IFS will then populate that code part.
Thomas, are you referencing a direct posting to these accounts? because I tried creating M or Q vouchers and it didn't not include the currency code, therefore i had to reverse the entries.
in the screen shot below you can see the credit balances have a currency. The M voucher entry i posted, created the debit balances, but didn't reference currency.
Also, i really appreciate your assistance on this.
