Group Consolidation - GCP3 and GCP4 Posting Controls

Good afternoonCurrency translation differences are being generated when we consolidate, but we do not have any currency anywhere (that I can find) set to anything but USD in our IFS instance.We were sold to new ownership in Period 6 of this year.  In our Consolidation Structure we added the new ownership as the top node of the existing structure as of the event date, and moved the entire existing structure underneath.The previous top node is where the currency difference is now being generated on the indicated posting controls in the period 6, 7 and 8 consolidations.  The currency difference calculated during consolidation is the entire YTD NI for 2023 for that previous top node.Any ideas what would be causing this and what we can do to remedy?ThanksCynthia

Group Consolidation - Alternate/Simulation Balance Version

Good morning -We have a need to establish an Alternative/Simulation Balance Version in Group Consolidation.  I’ve set it up and ‘attached’ it to a Master Balance Version, but the reported balances from the Master are not pulling in when I try to run the consolidation using the new Alternative Balance Version.Am I missing a set-up step somewhere?

Positive pay files

HelloWe typically create multiple supplier payment orders from one entity at the same time on the same bank account, and we are set-up in Payment Documents to create a positive pay file on that bank account.  If we create 3 payment orders, when the background jobs execute to create the positive pay, 3 background jobs kick off.  The first two jobs error out, the third one completes normally, and it contains all of the payments generated.  This is fine, but seems odd.  Can anyone comment on this behaviour?

Use of External File Template

Are there situations where an external file load should not be used?  I have created/tested one to load a Closed Date on the Purchasing Into tab on a Receipt in our test environment.  It appears to work fine, rather than typing that date in manually, and has the desired effect of clearing the ‘leftover’ quantity received from the RNI report. Is there any reason why we shouldn’t use an external file load for this purpose:

Populating Closed Date on Receipt using External Files

Starting a standalone topic in hopes of an answer -We need to clear our Received - Not Yet Invoiced report and get it in sync with the GL.  I created an External File load to populate the Closed Date on receipts in our test environment and successfully populated the field and it cleared the RNI report.  However, just because I can do this doesn’t necessarily mean that I should.Can anyone address whether populating this field with an external file is acceptable, or are there system effects that make this not a good idea?Thanks!This is the field in question.  It can be populated by the system in certain instances, or it can be manually typed in:

Business reporter - Trusted Location?

We are just beginning to use Business Reporter and some of our users are getting this error when attempting to open BR reports to edit:Microsoft Office Document Customization“This document contains custom code that cannot be loaded because the location is not in your trusted locations list:_____________________.  If you trust this document you can save and open it from a location on your computer.  For more information, see ‘http:\\go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=99104.Others users can open any of the reports just fine.I know we can add a location to trusted locations, but to share reports for maintenance this isn’t practical for our purposes, and we would like to understand why this is happening for some users and not others.Has anyone else seen this and found a solution?  We are on Apps10 UPD6, although the same issue occurred on Apps 10 UPD4.

Positive Pay

I am in the process of setting up Positive Pay as a Batch Process file out of IFS, using the standard External File Type ExtPosPayCheck. We have multiple companies in our IFS instance that we pay from.  I would like to generate a single file to send to the bank since all of the accounts are with one bank, but I’m not seeing that there is a way to do this - am I missing something, or is it correct to say that I will need to schedule a batch process for each company individually?Thanks, Cynthia

Setting up Lease Accounting in IFS

HelloWe do not use Fixed Assets, but plan on using the Lease Accounting functionality in IFS.  When I try to define a code part with FA accounting functionality, I get this error message.I’ve looked at the Company/Fixed Asset tab and the associated help for this company.  Help says:To enter fixed assets information per company:Open the Company window and query for the company for which you want to enter fixed assets information. Create a new record in the Fixed Assets tab.However, I’m not seeing how to Create a new recode in the Fixed Assets tab.  The + is greyed out on the toolbar, and no RMB options exist for creation.  I’m logged in as the application owner, so permissions should not be an issue.Any thoughts as to what I am missing?

External Voucher Batch Processing

We are trying to batch process our external vouchers for the first time.  We have changed the Server Directory parameter in System Parameters for Accounting Rules from NULL to a server path that the Oracle server should be able to read/write to. When Batch Process is selected in External Voucher Assistant  Process Options, and the FileType/Parameter SetID/File Template values are selected in the second screen of the Assistant the ‘Next’ button does not become available to establish a schedule.  Is there more set-up involved, or are there any tips as to what the server path syntax should be?  It is entered as:\\XXXifstest01.XXXXX.local\d$\XX_DIRECTORIES\MIGR10\XXXXX_FILES\We are on Apps 10.
