Transfer Reposting Work Task Transactions
Explanation
This activity is used to repost and transfer reposted work task transactions of type:
Work Task Inventory, Work Task HR, Work Task Purchase and
Work Task Rental to IFS/Accounting Rules.
It is possible to either transfer
the transactions directly, or by schedule the task to run as a background job.
If the One Voucher Per Date field is selected when reposting, one voucher will be created per Date Applied for all transactions. Alternatively select One Voucher For All Dates
to group all transactions with date included in the transfer (From/To Date) into single voucher with specified Voucher Date.
Selecting the latter will result in acquiring the value of the To Date as default. Any other date which is higher than To Date can also be selected.
When creating a schedule task System Date is set as Voucher Date by default and the field is read only.
Voucher Date Offset can be used to obtain vouchers of Voucher Date which is higher than System Date.
These work task transactions have (in addition it its original transaction), been
created to facilitate the Task Management Reposting solution. Refer to the
IFS cloud documentation for topic Reposting Work Task Transactions
for more information about reposting. The work task transaction is included when transactions
are transferred to finance until it has been marked as finally posted. This
means that already transferred transactions are included since the transfer
executes several
transaction-related actions. This can be the result of a transfer;
- Work task transactions in status Reposted or
Overtaken, with postings in status Valid are updated to
status Transferred.
- The work task transaction is evaluated / and reposted if needed.
- If the work task transaction has a WIP cost code, the defined WIP
reversal condition is checked and if it has been met, the cost is released
from the WIP account and reposted to its final account.
- The work task transaction is evaluated / and set to Finally Posted if
all conditions are met.
These bullets are explained in more details in the below sections
The work task transaction is transferred
- Work task transactions in status Reposted or
Overtaken, with postings in status Valid are updated to
status Transferred.
- When transferred, vouchers are created in
IFS/Accounting Rules and updated to the transaction's postings in Work Task Transaction/Accountings.

transferred to, it will automatically be moved to the first date in the next
open period.
The work task transaction is evaluated if reposting is needed
- Transferred work task transactions will be evaluated /and reposted if
required.
If reposting is not required, then the status will remain as it was before the
transfer. Work task transactions with these statuses are checked if
reposting is needed;

voucher no on the posting line (example: a transferred
inventory transaction with transaction type: Work Task Inventory)
- Work task transactions in status Transferred, with
postings in status Transferred.

- If there is a difference in the code string:
Reposting is an automated function where the existing posting information on the work task transaction is compared with the current setup in posting control, the work task pre-posting and other information on the work task to determine the current posting information. If there is a difference, then the work task transaction is reposted.
- If the WIP reversal condition has been met:
If met, then the
work task transaction is reposted. New posting lines are created on the
work task transaction that will reverse the WIP posting and create a new
posting for the final postings. In the same way as described in the
above section, the work task transaction needs to be transferred to
finance for the changes to take effect. When transferring a
reposted work task transaction, the status is updated to Transferred

information about transactions related to work tasks. These posting lines

Postings in status Error have to be corrected before the transaction
can be transferred to finance.
A work task transaction can have several posting lines if it is reposted.
When reposted, new postings lines are created to reverse the previous
transferred cost posting and to create a new posting line with the correct
code string. When created, the status is Valid or Error. When
