Accounting currency of the company is USD & Parallel currency is NGN (Nigerian Naira).Parallel currency base for the company = Transaction Currency.GR done & inventory transaction has been transferred to Finance. MPL voucher stuck in Voucher Entry screen with Not Approved state. When you try to Approve you get the error “Voucher with status approved must be in balance”. As highlighted below there is a balance remaining in Parallel currency. Appreciate if anyone could advise what is the best way to fix this issue.

Hi All,We have situation where  executive management board travels frequently and uses their credit cards for all travel-related expenses.The Travel Group, located within the Finance department, has been tasked with handling all expenses for the top managers.However, since the credit cards are set up as reimbursable, the Finance employees, who have access to some employee data, cannot see the transactions. This presents a significant problem for us.Currently, we have assigned the credit card to one employee in Finance, but this means that all expenses for top management must be handled by this individual, which is not ideal.We are looking for a solution within IFS that allows multiple employees to manage expenses and credit card transactions for others.Could someone advice how to handle this situation.

When creating a customer order that is having a Credit control group assigned to a customer with following setup(Credit check enabled at Release Order / Create picklist / Deliver Order) After creating a customer order when the user is trying to create the picklist at shipment window the order getting blocked if the credit limit is exceeded as it’s enabled to be credit checked at the pick list creation. But in a scenario of the user wants to unblock the order using Handle blocked orders and continue with the warehouse operation to arrange the shipment by creating the picklist, the system is blocking the order again as it’s stopping the order flow.  So, if the user wants to complete the picking and proceed to the shipment, The subject customer’s credit control group should be released from the whole credit check.Considering the scenario, we should have capability to create the pick list again and complete the shipment under that credit control stage and a credit check could be done at th

Hi,I have a many places with multiple products linked to each (with a product_id and modeli_id), each product_id has a fixed Product_PM coverage end date (for example 31.12.2024). This end date prevents users from creating new tasks or inspections because it it is expired or if it is earlier than the current date.Manually modifying the coverage end date automatically triggers slots and updates to the PM schedules which is fine. With Sql update query it changes the coverage end date but not triggering new slots in PM schedule.Problem: I need to update the coverage end date for 1,000 of product_id’s for 1000 places.any possible solution would be helpful.Thanks and Regards,Akshay. 

I sold a finished product with a serial number to a customer. A component part of the sold finished product was sent back to me for repair. The component part that was sent back to me also has a serial number. I will send a replacement for this part.The customer did not send me the entire finished product , only a part of it, which is our main issue.I cannot reopen the shop order I used to produce the finished product and unissue the component part underneath it, because it is a very old shop order, and the cost calculations for that period have already been made.However, the component part also needed to be entered into my inventory. I received this component part into my inventory with a Return Material Authorization.I manufactured a new spare part and shipped it to the customer.Now, I cannot use this returned serial-numbered component part in another weapon, because it gives me an error saying that “Serialized component  <my component part and serial no> exists in catalog stru

Hello Everybody,I have a Custom LU with the related Custom View.The Custom View is a Custom Tab in Customer.In the Custom LU there is a Custom Field named “CF$_STATUS”. Is it possible to show in the View ONLY the rows with CF$_STATUS = ‘Active’ by default ?IEE App 10 Update 17Thanks.

In an effort to re-create and configure a page (for which it’s entity will not allow custom attributes), I’ve pursued creating a custom entity and custom attributes within the new entity to re-create the page + other fields. An SQL quickreport (read-only) with all the fields (custom or otherwise) that we need would work, but QRs don’t allow the use of page designer features like commandgroups.However, when creating an entity I’m running into a limitation where a persistent field is required for a custom entity. I just need it to be read only. Is there any workaround? We are on Cloud 24R1 currently.While an option, our business wishes to avoid modifications where possible, such as adding fields via Projection Fragments in the Cust layer in Developer Studio to the standard projection.

I know I’ve seen this before but I can’t find it under the normal spots that I was looking. I’m trying to find the service update documentation on what is fixed with each patch and it’s normally in an excel file. Can someone link me the post in the resources? Everything that I can find is not the file that I’m looking for. I’m trying to evaluate what the service updates are fixing. I’m specifically looking for 24R1 as well.

Dear experts,We're trying to add a new column to the 'Invoice' entity using the Developer Studio. During deployment, we encountered an error: "IFSAPP.INVOICE_API" has errorsORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "IFSAPP.INVOICE_API"ORA-06512:. This error indicates that the new column wasn't automatically included in the 'invoice_rec_' record type within the 'INVOICE_API' package.To work around this, we manually modified ('overridden') the “invoice_rec_”record type to include the new column. While this allowed the entity to deploy successfully, we're now encountering a new error in the 'INV_PROCESSING_TYPE_UTIL_API': 'ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small' in the customer invoice window. We're concerned about potential inconsistencies that may arise on the screen. Is this behavior a bug, or are we not advised to add new columns to the 'invoice_tab' table?Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Is there an out of the box function to determine which customer order lines have had the promise date reviewed prior to confirming back to the customer? Our current process:Customer service enters customer order line. By default, the promise date is initially set the same as the Planned Delivery Date. Planning reviews the order line and revises the Target, Planned Delivery, and Promise Dates as needed. Customer service sends order confirmation back to the customer. Planning needs to be able to query for order lines that haven’t been reviewed/promised. I’m considering adding a custom checkbox to indicate the order has been promised but want to verify if there’s a standard process for this.  Thanks!Eric

We have some parts where we have to pay the supplier an excise tax fee.  We typically purchase a part in a UOM of an Each with a purchase UOM of a Pound, and then we have an inventory conversion rate to get it to the Inventory UOM of a Pound.  The purchase charge is a rate at a per Pound unit charge.  I don’t know if something changed when we updated to version 24R1, but some charges I had set up before are showing the charge amount as a Unit Charge in a pound Price UOM.  I am now seeing where I added some recent charges, and the UOM is pulling in as an Each.  It does not look like I am able to update the UOM.  Where does the UOM for the Charge rate pull from and is there a way to change that?

Hello IFS Community, Looking for any customers who is successfully managing changes on intercompany purchase order direct orders.  Process is  Create customer order for external customer.Enter customer order line with supply option int purchase direct where supplier is setup as inter-site supplier in IFS Release customer order which auto generates the intercompany purchase order. Release the intercompany PO. The above process is fine if we don’t need to make change but we live in the real world where changes can happen through human error or parts in stock are not available or faulty.  If we attempt to correct the errors or shortfall of stock by adding a new customer order line on the external customer order.   IFS will auto generate and create a new internal purchase direct order for each change rather than allowing the changes be added on same internal purchase order created previously.   To explain, the new customer order line is mainly needed as we use project inventory and therefo
