Summary of Changes

IFS IDEAS 6.24.1.8 corrects three issues.

Issues Resolved

Accounts Payable

ACH ISO 20022 Bank File Changes

The encoding method has been changed from UTF-8 BOM to UTF-8.
The name of the Bank File no longer contains spaces to eliminate file rejections.

Spreadsheet Link

Spreadsheet Link Validation

When Project ID validation is defined, the validation is triggered if the Project ID is derived from the spreadsheet. However, previously, if the Project ID was entered directly in the Spreadsheet Link processing screen, the validation was not applied. This has been updated, and the validation is now invoked in both scenarios.

See the 6.24.1.8 Risk Assessment for the full list of maintenance items included in this release.
