External Payment - matching

If it’s only customer payments you need to upload, use the system defined External File Type ExtCustPayment for your template. Then when mapping the columns in the templates for details use Invoice Reference if you want to upload the payments based on the Invoice. If no invoice, then use Identity Reference (this is the Identity Reference on the Customer in the Customer master window) in the columns to map.Hope this helps.

Hi @CLaud, I experienced the same issue. The only way I could get the login screen again was to clear the browsing history and cache.

External Payment customer identification through sort code and bank account

Hi @hlhasanga Were you able to sort this issue?Theoretically what you want to do should be possible according to the F1 Help Doc for External Payment Parameters.IFS Online Documentation (abs.local) I have never tried it; therefore cannot guarantee it would work.

PO authorizer - email notification

Hi @NMALKI As far as I know the system event will trigger irrespective of the company the users belong to as long as they are set up as authorizes and have valid email addresses set up in IFS. When you say users in a “special” company, what exactly do you mean?

Business Reporter reports not working through IFS for one user

Thanks for the suggestion @Voshitha Unfortunately that didn’t help either. But we tried uninstalling and reinstalling BR a couple of times and then finally it started working. It might have been some installation issue.

Business Reporter reports not working through IFS for one user

Hi @Thiwanka Sandaruwan I’ve tried her to login to IFS from my laptop and run the same report. She can open it in BR without an issue. I have asked the ICT Personnel to try reinstall BR in her laptop just to make sure no internal file has gotten corrupted and causing the issue. I have also checked and verified that she has right permissions to run BR reports through IFS as well.

Apps9: Payment Advice failing on occasion when emailing to supplier

@BLLBrucemo were you able to find a solution for this? We have the same issue where we too use a report rule for the payment advice email. In our case I noticed this is happening specifically for one of the three companies we have. So my suspicion was on their mail server. However with this query you have posted, I’m wondering if the issue we are having is the same as yours.

Approval of project time by project manager

@Alexis.S why not use the Project Time Registration window instead so all that’s shown to the PM would be the time registered for the employee against the project activity? No internal rates or any other sensitive data is not shown there.

Use of One-time Supplier for Purchase Orders

Hi @Manoj Balasooriya thanks for your reply. We are on the same page about what one time supplier is. However it is the rationale behind not enabling it for POs where there is confusion.In the first paragraph, it is mentioned about one time purchases. So again it comes back to my question; if one time suppliers are not enabled to be used in Purchase Orders, how do you actually use a one time supplier for one time purchases? IFS cannot say ‘no you are not supposed to issue a PO for them, you are only supposed to create an invoice for them’. It is not the practical real world scenario. The use of the normal supplier record and changing Delivery Address on the purchase order for each purchase could work. We will see if that can be used for our scenario. Thank you.

Use of One-time Supplier for Purchase Orders

Thanks for the explanation @Manoj Balasooriya. I feel my question has been misunderstood. I’ve read the documentation and realized that one time suppliers are supported in Financials module only. And my question is regarding the rationale behind it. Why did IFS decide on such a definition/functionality? I have seen a couple of posts on the community page where customer requirement is to use one-time supplier functionality in both raising PO and invoice. I.E. to use the same supplier entity for multiple suppliers simply because we will never be using that supplier again. So there is no point setting up different supplier records and we want to keep the supplier registration process simple. The use of expiration date will not facilitate this. That is useful when we no longer wish to use a supplier for POs. The same way when creating invoice for a one-time supplier where it’s prompted to enter payment and address info, it would be great if purchase info can be entered for one-time supplie

One Time Supplier for Credit Card Purchases

As per my knowledge, one time supplier in IFS is not supported in the PURCH module; meaning POs cannot be raised for such suppliers isn’t it?We are looking at limiting the number of supplier records made too. Not related to credit cards though. For one off purchases, credit cards are encouraged but where we do have to receipt the actual goods for different projects, we still need to create POs. But as these are for suppliers we will only be using once and never again, there is no point setting them up in the system either. Wouldn’t you also face the same issue as us?

One Time Supplier/Customer set up

Hi @Shehan Almeida ,I have a few further questions after reading your explanations here. I was under the impression that one time supplier functionality is for a supplier you will use one time only. Example, for one invoice. In that case I don’t understand the need to change the the supplier name and address etc. every time an invoice is created as there will be no more than one invoice. Have I understood the one time supplier concept wrong? Is the one time supplier functionality similar to setting up of sundry supplier where we want the small amounts and one off payments to be registered against as there is no point registering the actual supplier who we will not be using more than once or twice?

Why multiple contract line items cannot be connected to the same project activity

Hi @Tharindu Illangasinghe, unfortunately as a customer I do not have access to the idea wall. If you don’t mind, can you please log the suggestion to IFS on behalf of me? We actually do have that need. We use a project structure template so easy use, yet there are instances where multiple items should connect to the same activity. Due to this limitation, we sometimes end up having items not connected or having to create a ‘duplicate’ activity just to connect the item. It would be great if it can be added to the idea wall so IFS is aware.

Why multiple contract line items cannot be connected to the same project activity

Thanks for the explanation @Tharindu Illangasinghe. It makes sense and well explain the reason behind the current functionality.I was wondering, just like weights are used and considered when an item is connected to many activities, to determine the progress of the contract items, can’t the same be used to determine the progress of a line that may be connected to several project activities? For example, if the item is connected to 2 activities 50-50, then if one activity is completed 100% while the other activity is 0%, then the sales contract item progress is 50%.

Substitutes in IFS

@Heshani Vidanapathirana @EnzoFerrari I’m using IFSAPP login. Yet it’s not showing. Also IFSAPP is in Finance Groups. Therefore cannot even figure out what LU or window name it is to even check if it’s a permission issue. Following is all what I see in Invoice Workflow Basic Data as IFSAPP. Should I report a case to IFS?

Substitutes in IFS

@Heshani Vidanapathirana this is a question not directly relevant to the original post. However I couldn’t help notice that there is a basic data setup for Invoice Posting Authorizers. This is a functionality we are interested in but currently we do not have such a window. We are in Apps 10 UPD 10. Can you please let me know if this window is available from a later version onwards? We only seem to have Invoice Payment Authorizers under Invoice Workflow Basic Data.

Getting Outlook attachments into IFS with object connection

@Kasun Balasooriya it would really be great if this can be considered by RnD.We are another customer who has the same requirement as others who have commented here. One of the basic questions I get from our users on daily basis is ‘Why can’t we just drag and drop the attachment from the email to IFS?’. They find this two-step process very annoying. I know it’s better than nothing BUT it’s not user friendly and that gives a negative impression of the system to the users.Also, since we have outsourced people for data entry, we maintain invoices for data entry in SharePoint which the outsourced people enter into the system and are supposed to attach the original invoice in the system as well. The fact that they can’t simply drag and drop them from SharePoint to IFS is also an issue.So if IFS can consider a more generic solution where the ‘drag and drop’ of any document from Outlook, SharePoint or any other similar application, it would be even better.

Project Time Corrections

As far as I know there is no such date field in the standard application. However you could try using a custom field to store the date a transaction is created (automatically set to sysdate) so that in general you will get the date any transaction is registered.

Thank you @ChanakaAmarasekara. I had looked into Report Rules but didn’t know about the rule action types having such a property. So what I proposed had already been in the system :)Thank you @Mathias Dahl for your suggestion as well. It’s a good approach when the reports need to be automatically saved.
