Hello,I’m working with contractors who record their hours directly in IFS. They have been set up as contractors, with “Invoices by Supplier” enabled at the employee-category level.My questions are:How can I reconcile the hours they have clocked against the purchase orders to which they are assigned?What is the best practice for recording and posting the supplier invoices for those clocked hours?Any guidance, recommended configuration steps or pointers to relevant IFS documentation would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help! 

Hi All, I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for Time Clock hardware?  We are upgrading from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud and will no longer be using our Kaba solution.  We have investigated Time Clock and are happy with the way it functions, but are unsure of how to implement something robust for our users. For example, I assume we will need a tablet with a built in card reader that essentially never times out that requires no interaction from the user other than a card swipe.  Does anyone have any success stories to share or recommendations for us? Many thanks, Scott

Hi all, Quick question regarding changes to the base salary. In previous IFS versions (Apps 9 for example) it was possible to change the base salary using an amount or a percentage. In Cloud the percentage option is no longer available on the compensation page. It is only available for compensation types other than the base salary and is then calculated off the base salary.The only other option to increase the base salary using a percentage is by using the Salary Planning Review functionality. Some of my customers do not want to use this though (for various reasons).How is everyone handling this now? Are you using the new functionality or are you customising this?

We use Expenses in IFS Apps 10 Aurena and are moving to IFS Cloud.  The Add Transactions section has the option to copy object rows - but you cannot seem to paste them anywhere in the Transactions Section?  I cannot understand why IFS would provide the Copy option, if you cannot then Paste.  Am I missing something or have IFS just forgotten to finish this process?  Or was it in the too difficult section? Any advice would be welcome.Thanks Trudy 

There is a scenario where we need to setup prorated leave balance for PTO.Amount of days received is prorated based on when you start. January – March : receive 3 days PTOApril – June :  receive 2 days PTOJuly – September : receive 1 day PTOOctober – December : receive 0 days PTO

Our customer is going to use TimeClock in IFS and would like to know if we have a preferred clocking system for IFS Cloud as they have to buy a new system. 

Good morning.  I am not seeing the Organisation Tree for Employees in the Supervisor Access Setup window.  What could be the reason for this?  I did “uncheck” the fields at the top e.g Only Supervised Organisations.  Thank you.

Hello IFS Community, Can someone please explain to me how the Absence Limit Details work?  I would like to be able to accrue vacation absences every 2 weeks.  I thought the settings below would do that, but it is not working. When I generate the limits, I get the full year no matter the hire date and accrual time of the employee. This is the Employee File Here is the Absence Limit Year that I used to generate the balances This is the result How do you get IFS to accrue a partial year?  Specifically, 2 weeks at a time? Thanks,

Hi,This is an issue within the IFS Cloud Ventechi Pre-sales env that IFS allow their partners to use.We have a demo on the 18th Sept, the feature below was working 2 weeks ago.I have asked IFS support about the issue below, but they have said that they cannot help me with any IFS Pre-sales env related issues.The issue isWhen trying to use the “Quick Expense Reporter” part of IFS Cloud to create an expense record, connect the scanned in receipt to the expense record and use the scanned in data (OCR) to populate the IFS Expense sheet with data. In the IFS Cloud Ventechi Pre-sales environment we get a warning saying "Warning - unable to extract detail from the receipt at this time. Enter expense details manually".The stage in the process where the warning message is displayed, is when we are performing the step called "Scan a Receipt".Has anyone got any experience of seeing a Warning message like the one above in the IFS Cloud Ventechi environment please?If anyone has any suggestions, ple

Hi Community!We are seeking guidance on best practices for managing cases where a company employs individuals with protected personal information, such as name, address, and similar data. While it is necessary to store details such as address and personal identity number within the system, access to this information needs to be restricted to a limited number of authorized users.I’ve been looking in to Personal Data Management (not fully), but we don’t want to anonymize completely..This situation is not very common but occurs occasionally -  in Sweden at least. Could someone please advise on recommended approaches or share how other customers have successfully approached these kind of situations? Best regards, Anna

It is not allowed to delete the transactions from credit card transactions window since the card type is not re imburasableThanks in advance.

Have any IFS Cloud users been able to configure the system so that a Project Manager can authorise or approve an Expense Sheet ?Our current configuration has Line Manager approval and Finance authorisation, with the Project Manager only seeing the expense once it shows on the Project Transactions view. Surely the Project Manager, as the budget holder, should be able to either approve or authorise the expense before it hits the project transactions.

Hi,Is there a way to set up the time clock terminal for Work Order time reporting in IFS Cloud? If anyone has experience with this, could you please share the steps or provide any guidance?Thanks & Best Regards,Navoda

Hi All,When employees are applying for absences, it is mandatory to attach a supporting/proof document for the absence type of Medical Leaves. For the other absence types, it is not mandatory. Do we have any standard core functionality in IFS cloud to make attachments are mandatory for specific absence types when absence registration.Regards,MalinG.

Hi @All,we are currently working with IFS Payroll for Germany. As this module will not be usable up to 2028, we are currently plan to implement a new payroll system. We know that there should be a report/file to transfer the data (time clockings, wages) to the payroll system. Can someone give us a hint, where we can find the function for the export? And is it possible to configure the file or do we have to use it as it is?Thanks for your answers.BRAndre

As per current setup, employees have access to their own time card and they can edit/delete time card results from “Time Card” screen. We need to restrict this access so that they should only view their time card results but should’nt be able to change or delete anything, and that access will only be with their managers.Please advise.

HI all,Please guide me on possibility of doing this. From an integration we are receiving external links (https) to download person images, and we have to save them for relevant person’s image in apps10 EE.
