IFS IDEAS 6.17.0.0 (Shipped July 23, 2021)  

Pay an invoice in a different currency

Raise an invoice in one currency and pay it in a different currency. 

For example, if you receive and enter an invoice in USD, but the vendor requires payment in the local currency, this information can now be entered at the point of entering the invoice. The paying currency is selected, and the rate table information for the invoice date is automatically entered to the invoice. If the vendor has specified a specific exchange rate for the payment, then the rate table rate can be overwritten with the specified spot rate.

This information flows to the various payment screens including the following:

• Generate Cash Requirements

• Edit Cash Requirements

• Automated Checks

• Manual Checks

• Void/Delete Checks

If partial payments are made, the Edit Cash Requirements screen recalculates the partial payment amount in the paying currency based on the exchange rate specified in the invoice.

Watch the  Pay Invoices in a Different Currency  video overview.

Improve cost controls by coding in non-stock receipts

The receiver can now enter the coding for the receipt that matches the AFE and Cost Center purpose and location as they are more likely to understand the final disposition of the goods.  This feature streamlines the non-stock purchase document process by eliminating the back-and-forth communication between the receiver and purchasing as well as the overhead of processing amendments to the document for the sake of FQA changes.

Watch the Change Coding in Non-Stock Receipt video overview.

Reduce currency mistakes by defining allowable transaction types by Account

This feature is designed to prevent the entry of currency-sensitive accounts to a journal for the wrong currency.  For example, a USD cash account posted to a journal that updates a non-USD segment causes gain/loss issues, reporting discrepancies and is tedious to identify and rectify. 

A new Transaction Type tab has been added to the Element Maintenance screen for use with defining Account elements.  By ledger, the valid Transaction Types can be added to the Account that will allow for protection against posting to an incorrect currency segment.  During the validation process of the journal, the validation will check if the account element of each line has any Transaction Types defined.  If so, those Transaction Types are compared to the Transaction Types that are defined for the journal.  If they do not match, then the journal cannot be set to valid for posting.  If no Transaction Types are defined for an Account Element, then that Account is free to be posted in any journal.

The Journal Import process in Spreadsheet Link was also modified to prevent the import of a spreadsheet to a journal if an Account in the journal is not compatible with the journal based on the Account/Journal Transaction Types.

Watch the  Safeguard Currency Posting video overview.

Streamline coding by correcting and validating coding from the web

Invoice validation is now available from within iApprove.   Users enter or edit the line details of an invoice and those changes are validated, just like in the main Accounts Payable application.  This eliminates the need to drop out of the approval cycle in iApprove, perform the validation in AP, and then resume the approval process in iApprove. 

Make iApprove installation easier

The new installer simplifies iApprove installation and reduces the effort and time to perform iApprove upgrades.

Simplify the maintenance of iApprove email notifications

The engine to drive email notifications for the approval process has been moved from SQL Mail to a new windows service.  This service is installed by the new iApprove installation process and configured directly from the iIDEAS Administration module.  The service can be stopped and restarted from within the iIDEAS Administration module, and there is a test email function to verify that the email parameters have been defined correctly.

This feature is in the General Ledger module and is described in detail in the General Ledger Help documentation.

IFS IDEAS 6.11.0.0 (Shipped November 01, 2019)

Improve Cost Control with Budget Alerts

Produce warnings and halt approvals when entries exceed an accepted budget variance.

To initiate the control, define budget and transactional segments for comparison, the elements to control, a threshhold for alerting, and a variance percentage.  IFS IDEAS will track commitments across all modules (GL, AP, PD, RQ, etc).  As entries are made to elements controlled by budgets, the amounts are added to the total commitments and compared against the threshold and variance percentages in all data entry and approval screens.  Warnings are generated when entries exceed the threshold in data entry screens and approvals for entries that have exceeded the variance are not allowed without modifying the original budget or the variance percentage.

IFS IDEAS 6.10.0.0 (Shipped August 30, 2019)

Added invoice detail on disbursement journals to either Cash or AP lines (Standard AP)

Added options in the Entity Maintenance > Flags tab to allow selection of Invoice Detail on Disbursement journals.

Currency conversion default operator logic improved

Changed the logic of the screen to enter the operator that was used for the currency combination in the last period.  If there is no rates for the previous period, the operator will be left blank.  The user must enter an operator manually to be able to save the rates.

IFS IDEAS 6.8.0.0 (Shipped August 14, 2018)

Sales invoices can now be entered in one currency and receipts for those invoices can be entered in a different currency.  Rates from the rate table can be used based on the invoice date or a spot rate can entered.  The Receipt screen will automatically use the rate entered on the invoice for the alternate currency payment calculation.  Additionally, multiple VAT tax codes can be recorded on Sales Invoices and multiple WH tax codes can be recorded on Receipt entries.

Reduce time spent at month-end with improved FX Gain/Loss grouping

The Fx Gain/Loss Calculation process has been enhanced to allow the ability to specify G/L account configurations by Entity/Source Currency/Target Currency/Account List.  This allows multiple configurations per Entity/Source Currency/Target Currency combinations and eliminating the need to alter the configuration between calculations.  Account Lists can also be grouped giving the user the ability to execute the multiple account lists at the same time.  This enhancement should greatly reduce the amount of time necessary to run the Fx Gain/Loss calculation at month end.

View audits from a new centralized screen

We created an audit trail within the System Security module that mimics the audit trail for the Vendor screen in Accounts Payable.  This approach allows the user to select fields from the screen to audit.  Changes are then recorded to an audit log based on the fields selected.  The user can report on the changes at a Summary or Detail field level. 

The Detail report can display the history of changes made to each field.

Three screens are available in this release for auditing with this new approach:

1. User Setup

Use multiple configurations on one instance

IFS IDEAS no longer uses DSNs.  Unlock the IFS IDEAS Application and Process Manager and run multiple instances on the same machine.  This means you can run both cyrilic and non-cycrilic instances from one machine.  This is configured in the installation process.  The connect string for the TEMPDB is in the .ini file and DSNs have been eliminated.

Improve auditing for journal entry and posting

The existing functionality of the "Journal Corrections Log" was to audit trail records changes to previously entered journal batches. This feature was further enhanced to also audit who entered and posted journal batches. Information on who initially entered a batch, who posted a batch or who inactivated a batch will be stored in the same table as the correction activity.  This information is added to the existing Journal Correction Log report.  A new report is also added that lists the entry and posting information for each batch on a single report.
