Unable to Rollback Posted Depreciation

Hello.  I posted a depreciation proposal with posting date 4/3/2021 .  But when I try to rollback the posted depreciation, I get the below error:  I am not sure why I need to rollback any transactions for this object since the depreciation posting was the most recent transaction. All other transactions for this object were posted before the depreciation.  Any help or guidance on this would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Unable to Clear Errors in Revenue Recognition

Hello I have these two errors in revenue recognition:   When I check the project, B25857 for example, the estimated revenue matches in the Project and Financial Project.      But when I recalculate revenue recognition, I get an error that revenue cannot be recognized.  Is there something that I am missing? I would appreciate any assistance on this.

Revenue Recognition

Hello.  We set up the project below, with only 1 activity, where planned revenue is 100K and planned cost is 70K so that planned margin is 30%. Actual cost is 85K all of which was booked in one period. We set the financial project to a Project Type of Capitalize Rev/Exp and Revenue Recognition Method of POC Revenue First.   When we run revenue recognition, it recognizes revenue of 100K and cost of only 70K even if actual cost is 85K. In this overbudget scenario, we would like to recognize revenue of 100K (ie. the planned revenue) and cost of 85K (ie. the actual revenue).   However, in an underbudget scenario (let’s assume planned revenue is 100K, planned cost is 70K and actual cost is 65K), we would like the cost recognized to be 65K (ie. actual cost) and revenue recognized to be 92,857.14 (ie. the revenue needed so that the planned margin of 30% is achieved). I would appreciate any thoughts on how we could achieve this. The IFS version we are using is Apps 9 U13. Is there a particular

Field Not Populating in Import Object After Upload of Object

Hello.I have the following template to upload an object.    I used this template to upload this object, UPLOADOBJ6 :   The template has fields for Acquisition Value and Acquisition Value in Parallel Currency, which I filled out. My understanding is that this same template would also upload these values to the two highlighted fields below under Import Object. However, it did not go through when I did the upload. Does anyone know have an idea of what might be causing this? Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

Depreciation Method for Remaining Value over Remaining Life

Hello.  I created the asset below and imported an acquisition value of $2,409.15 and an accumulated depreciation of $2,179.69, so it’s remaining value is $229.46 . It has 8 months of life remaining. Is there a depreciation method that is already in IFS that can be used to depreciate the remaining value over the remaining 8 months of its life? And if so, how can it be set up in the Books tab of the object? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Revenue Recognition

Hello. I am hoping someone can advise or give some direction on how to handle this situation in IFS. Parent company received an order. Billing for the order will be done by parent and depends on milestones achieved. Parent sets up the customer order. Most of the work will be done by subsidiary. Part of the revenue will be earned by parent. The rest of the revenue will be earned by the subsidiary. Subsidiary sets up an intercompany order (customer is parent) and project. The amount of revenue to be recognized by parent each month depends on the percentage of completion of the project in the subsidiary. Parent will not recognize cost.  Subsidiary recognizes revenue each month based on percentage of completion. Cost recognized is actual cost. After subsidiary completes project, it ships to the customer. It will then bill the parent. For example,Assume the parent received a $100 order.  Parent sets up customer order for $100. Revenue allocated to parent is $20. Revenue allocated to subsidi

Why did depreciation stop on an Object?

Hello I have an object / asset , 2021-33 that was activated in October 2021.  In November 2021, a manual entry was entered to adjust the value of the asset.   After this, it stopped depreciating. When we run a depreciation proposal, we get this message in the log:  I would appreciate any help on how to correct this and get the object to depreciate again. Thank you.

What is FA_OBJECT_TRANS_VALUE_TYPE ?

Hello. I am testing an upload template to upload Depreciation Data that, if done manually, would have been entered into the Import Object window of an object.

Is a Mid Year Hard Close Possible ?

Hello.  Our company will be acquired and so we will need to do a hard close in the middle of our fiscal year.  Then start again under the new ownership.  So for example, our 2022 fiscal year is from October 2021 to September 2022 . Acquisition will finalize at the end of March 2022, so at this point we would like to have a hard close since it is under the old ownership (and as such, we would like to be able to run financial reports etc. for the period/ time span under old ownership) where income items are closed to retained earnings etc.  Then we would like to move all ending balances to the beginning of April 2022 then start anew under the new ownership.   Is this possible to do in IFS?  I would appreciate any advice on how to go about this. Thank you.

Running Lease Periodic Accounting for Periods Already Closed

Hello. Is it possible to run periodic lease accounting for periods already closed? For example, assume period 1 to 11, 2023 is already closed. We want to implement operating lease accounting in IFS. The lease contract has payments at the beginning of each period. First payment occurred at the beginning of period 1. All payments have been made already for period 1 to 11. We want to enter the full lease contract in IFS, generate the amortization schedule, then create the recognition posting for the ROU asset and lease liability and have it post at the beginning of period 12. Then we want to run lease payable accounting and periodic lease accounting for P01-P11 and post to beginning of period 12. Is this possible even if period 1-11 is already closed? Would appreciate any input/insight. Thank you.

Automatic External Voucher

Hello Currently, we have some automatic MPL vouchers hitting a non-ledger account (account 1270 Manual WIP) monthly which should be hitting a ledger account (account 1271 WIP) . So we do a manual external voucher to move these transactions to the ledger account . We would like to cut down on this extra manual entry.  Is it possible to write some sort of script in IFS that automatically creates and posts this external voucher to move those transactions that hit the non-ledger account to the ledger account?

MARCRS Depreciation with Switching

Hello. In our previous fixed asset software (SAGE), it had a MACRS depreciation method with automatic switching to straight line when optimal. Is there something similar in IFS Fixed Assets? Below is one of the default MACRS depreciation methods in IFS. Is it possible to modify this so that it automatically switches to straight line when it is optimal (ie. when depreciation under straight line becomes larger than under declining balance)?  Below is an example what we would like to achieve. Is there a depreciation method available in IFS that would depreciate like below?   I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

Adding to an FA Object Through PO Receipt

Hello, I am hoping someone can assist or shed light on an issue I am struggling with: I created an FA Object then successfully set its acquisition value ($1,000) through a PO and subsequent PO receipt. I then activated the object. I then increased its value by $10 via a supplier invoice but with no PO. After posting the invoice, I activated this additional investment via the Add Investment - Progress window. Now I would like to increase its value by $100, but this time via a PO receipt. So I entered a PO, assigned it the same FA Object ID, then received, ran transfers and updated the GL. However, when looking at my Distribution and Manufacturing Postings Analysis, I get this error:  “You have specified an object with wrong status.”  This suggests that the object shouldn’t be in a non Active state for the postings to go through. So I tried to deactivate the object, but get an error message: “There are active transactions that needs to be rolled back before deactivating the object.” This

MPL Vouchers are Unbalanced

Hello. We have 4 MPL transactions below that are unbalanced. This is the first time we’ve seen this and we don’t even know why it is unbalanced and why IFS allowed it to be unbalanced. I cannot modify it to force it to be balanced.  Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.
