Finance (Financials)

Hi, I know many of you have a need / have asked how to use IFS to produce a given result. At a high level, many have asked how to consider a combination of code part values (for example account 1234 with cost center AAA then assign that combination a value. It could be for financial reporting; or it could be assigning a local account when a country requires local account and GL account. To resolve issues, I’ve seen for over a dozen different clients, I created an idea. Please take a look and upvote if you agree this is important functionality.  FYI, over the next couple weeks I plan to create a number of “ideas” where I’ve seen numerous requests from clients over the years.  The link is Create something like Code String Combination Attributes | IFS Community Best regards, Thom

 Hello, Project invoices created from AFPs are based on the certified values entered in the AFP. As such, the invoice lines are not editable. Any adjustments to the invoiced values must therefore be managed directly through the AFP.Accordingly, the current process is to credit the entire invoice, apply the required adjustments in the AFP, and then generate a new invoice from the updated AFP.The credit invoice will include a reference to the original invoice against which it was created. Alternatively, a new AFP can be created with the corrected figures, and a new invoice can then be raised from that AFP.In PL legislation the Correction Invoices should be issued (instead of credit invoices).Correction Invoice should indicate the changes to original invoice and should not credit the whole value of the initial Invoice (as long as the whole invoice is not wrong).Each Correction Invoice should indicate the link to t

When using Customer Relationships within Customers and using scenario 1 where the parent company holds the credit limit, why does the above report show the  same credit limit for the child?Is there a way around this as its a standard report and unwilling to create a separate report for this issue/Thanks

Hello Together,We went live with a customer and currently face an issue:That costs does not appear on cost bucket detail after running the calculation for all articles (all part calculation)but you can see all results in the overview “part cost variances”: The Question is can rely on the results listed in this overview and just copy them to cost bucket 1?  If you run the calculation for all levels the cost appears in the cost bucket details again.Anyone has an idea on this one?Kind regards​​​​​​​

HI,I’m currently trying to add a new payment method under Supplier → Payment → Payment Method.While creating the new payment method, I also added a new payment format. I would like to understand the relationship between the Payment Method and the Payment Format & effect to finance and GL.In this particular case, the supplier payment is not made via cash, cheque, or any other standard payment method. Instead, the settlement is done through goods.Therefore, I would appreciate clarification on how this scenario should be configured and handled in the system.Regards,TharakaN

Hello everyone,I’m very new to the IFS Cloud version and can’t seem to find a way to allocate a customer payment to multiple invoice without selecting individual identity one at a time.Is there a way to select multiple invoices for one payment please? Since the Customer and Supplier Payment features have been discontinued in the Cloud!I verified that in Lump Sum line, when the identity and invoice number are entered, the button SELECT MULTIPLE INVOICES/PAYMENTS  is enabled.However, it will only open the invoices by supplier or customer, not all invoices.ThanksValmira

Hello Community,I have a quick question regarding the Generate Invoice Preview function.We recently observed that when generating an invoice preview with the “Merge by Sales Part” checkbox selected, the preview is being created with Grouped By Level: Work Order. Previously, this field remained blank and the invoice preview was not grouped by Work Order.The customer has recently upgraded to Apps 10 UPD 28, and we are trying to determine whether this is due to a change in functionality introduced in the upgrade, or if there is any basic configuration/data setup required to prevent grouping at the Work Order level. I would highly appreciate any insights or comments from the co

The interest amount generated by IFS for period 4 2026 is 0, as shown below:The base interest is 13 915, 14 - and for other contracts this amount is also the Periodical Interest Amount and not 0 as in this case. The proposal refers to Installment number 87, and here the interest rate is 13 915,14.   Why does IFS post 0,00 in amount to GL?  Normaylle IFS will never post 0 amount?  

Has anyone tested Einvoice response message to process CTC invoices ?

Hi, Is there a standard way to generate file in IFS, that is a checkseal readable file.

Want to know how is the field  the Total Cost/Base field in the Detail Statistics  - Invoice Sales screen is  calculated.  We have an issue where the Inventory Part cost from the inventory part transaction  differs from the values shown in the Total Cost/Base .  Know the Total Cost/Base  comes from the CUST_ORD_INVO_STAT  table, but do not know how the  field COST  is calculated.Is there someone who can advise how the Cost  field is calculated in the table or what the code is behind the table   CUST_ORD_INVO_STAT.Jeremy

One of our Customers have a Lease contract that starts in mid of the month:Commencement date: 19-Sep-2025Termination date: 31-Mar-2028Monthly rental: LKR 3,650,040 (flat, no escalation), paid in arrears on month-end IBR: 13.25% p.a. First period payment: prorated stub of LKR 1,460,016 on 30-Sep-2025 (12/30 × monthly rental)The issue When we create this in IFS cloud, in amortization schedule IFS appears to discount each payment using full-month periods (n = 1, 2, 3, ...), while the customer's working paper uses fractional periods from the actual commencement date (n = 0.40, 1.40, 2.40, ...) to account for the 12-day stub at the start. So there is a difference in the Present Values calculated and the lease liability. Hoping someone here has hit this before and can share how they handled it. Customer Worksheet:

Hi All,We need to change the format of BOC payment file from UTF-8 to ANSI by doing through the batch process in IFS Cloud.The recommended approach is to use the batch process (background job) with defined character sets if we need to generate file encoding with ANSI format.Could you please explain and let me know how to apply a defined character set to the job when it runs?Regards,Vignesh

Hi! We have an arraingement with some customers, that we share cost information openly with them, and then add a specific and previously decided margin on top of the cost. This is however not an easy thing to set up in IFS Cloud, and we use custom reporting as well as lists to keep track on who did what service work as well as the hours, and the real costs of the service work. Then all orders/invoices need to be manually checked and the corrected. Does IFS have any modules/processes to support Open book frameworks? “An open-book arrangement between a supplier and customer means the supplier shares cost information openly with the customer.Instead of only quoting a fixed price, the supplier may show details such as:material costs labor costs overheads logistics costs profit marginThe purpose is to create transparency and trust.

We have a company in France that invoices customer project using AD invoices for pre shipment.When the goods are shipped, we create a CD invoice and show on the document the related payments for the AD invoices, leaving a remaining total to be paidFor the remaining total we use the instalment function on the CD invoice to create the payment “stages”. The issue we have in France is, we cannot set an instalment payment date greater than 60 days from the CD invoice date, this is legally not allowed in France.As a workaround, we cancel the CD invoice and manually create II invoices with future dates.We are happy using AD and CD invoicing and do not want to move to staged billing. Has anyone experienced this issue?I was thinking of trying manual customer invoicing instead of II invoices, would they still be connected with the customer order and project?We also have the issue of E-invoicing becoming mandatory in France

Hello We have customer order below. The net amount/base is 186,370.78 CAD  However, the planned revenue in Project Monitoring is 189,839.39 .  Since planned revenue is expected revenue, shouldn’t it be the same as the customer order net amount/base? What is the interpretation of planned revenue if it differs from the order net amount/base? Any inpout/thoughts would be appreciated.  

Hello,We have a situation where an invoice was booked to a prepaid account in November 2015 and amortized using period allocation vouchers over the next 2 years.  The company currency is CAD.  The manual voucher to book the prepaid expense and the period allocation vouchers were booked with USD currency code.  The manual voucher shows USD in both the currency code part and currency code fields.  The period allocation vouchers show USD as the currency code but the currency code part is blank.  Even though the overall balance in the account is zero, because there is a debit balance in the account with USD currency code part and a credit for the same amount in the account with a blank currency code part, the account with USD balance is being revalued every month. Has anyone seen this before?  Is there a way to fix this is the system

Hello,We are trying to set up an action who sends an email to the supplier for UNIFORM_PAYMENT_ADVICE_REP report.  Why are the PDF_PARAMETERS all empty ?Looking at:https://docs.ifs.com/ifsclouddocs/24r2/Procurement/AboutEmailReports.htmI do not see anything about the values for Suppliers Payment Advice 

Hi there!We are trying to post a cost entry via a manual voucher/project transaction (Eg: Against the project activity sequence JJ). We need the sales tax amount of the manual voucher/project transaction to be reflected under a separate project activity sequence number (Eg: Against the project activity sequence JJ2) in the COST tab of the project monitoring.For example, if materials worth $500 are consumed and a 10% sales tax is applicable, the material cost of $500 should be posted against the JJ project activity, while the sales tax amount should be posted separately against the JJ2 project activity.We would appreciate it if this requirement could be achieved using standard IFS functionality, preferably without moving toward a customization.Your support on this is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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 = UsedHowever, 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?
