Summary of Changes

Enhancements

IFS IDEAS 6.22.0.0 has the following new Features:

Accounts Payable

Multiple Tax Codes per Tax Type in Auto Invoice

• In 6.21.0.0, the standard Invoice Entry screen was modified to allow for multiple tax codes per tax type.  In 6.22.0.0, the Auto Invoice process has been modified to accept multiple tax codes per tax type.  Additionally, the following columns have been added to the file format – User 1, User 2, Reference Number, Comments, Comments_a, SATID (For Mexican customers).

Combine Argentine Tax Certificate Reports

• For Argentine customers, the Tax Certificate and Payment Order Reports are now combined into a single PDF file instead of multiple files for each certificate or payment order.

Automatic Checks

• A new option has been added to allow users to define the default value of the Test check versus the Actual Check setting.  Currently, the setting in the screen defaults to Test check.  A new AP Misc code has been added to allow the user to specify that the default setting is Actual check.  This would eliminate additional clicks to set the setting to Actual Check on each check run and minimize the possibility of sending a check run to a test check.

Currency Conversion

Automated Fx Rate Web Service

• A new web service has been added to allow for the automatic download of daily Fx Rates to the IDEAS database eliminating the need to manually pull the rates from a national bank website and enter them to the Rates screen.  The banks available with this release are listed below.  Please contact us with additional banks you would like added.

  • Bank of Canada

  • Bank of Turkey

  • Exchange Rate Host (Fx Rate API)

iApprove

Invoice Reference Number Added to iApprove
