Hi all, I work with IFS and I’ve been assigned a manual data-check task I’d like to automate.The check works like this: for each manufacturing order I have to check wheter I have or not enough raw material, if yes release to production, if not check if a purchasing order has placed and talk with procurement.What I’d like is a system that runs these checks automatically and sends me an email with a recap.It's very boring so I'd like to make it simplerI’m a business user, not a developer, so any pointers to documentation or examples would be very welcome.Thanks!

I”m trying to find the official definition of the POS variable in the PDM/Basic Data/Defaults.  I know what it is for on the Consists Of tab in Engineering Part Navigator.  It is a 30 character field in DEFAULTS and it is alphanumeric.  NONE of the help information that I can find has any mention of this.  I’d thought that it was the default POS that is used when adding a component to an eBoM but that’s not the case in 26R1.Any ideas?Thank youPatrick

Hi all,We have recently started working more extensively with IFS Demand Planning and are currently building several reports based on planning data. We are running IFS Cloud 25R2.One of the data elements we would like to access is the System Forecast generated by Demand Planning. Ideally, we are looking for a way to retrieve this data through both:REST API (for integration with external reporting applications) Database objects/views (for reporting directly within IFS)While investigating the data model, I found the view SYSTEM_FORECAST and the table SYSTEM_FORECAST_RTB, but both appear to contain no data in our environment.I also tried accessing the SystemForecastSet projection through the REST API, but this entity set is currently returning no records as well.My questions are:Is there a supported way to access the System Forecast values generated by Demand Planning? Are there any prerequisites, jobs, or configuration settings required before data becomes available in the database objec

Hi Community, Does anyone have experience setting up calculated tax in the Travel Expense module? As far as I understand, it is only possible to set up the posting control TX2 – Travel Expense Tax. Unlike the INVOIC module, there do not seem to be equivalent posting controls for calculated tax such as IP9 – Tax Received, Calculated and IP10 – Tax Disbursed, Calculated. I have assigned a tax code for calculated tax to an expense code in the Expense Rule view. However, when I create and post an expense sheet using that expense code, no tax voucher lines are generated, and no transactions are created in the Tax Transactions view. This seems like a significant limitation for EU customers planning to use the Travel Expense module, as no tax voucher lines or tax transactions are created for VAT reporting purposes. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A specific requirement from a client is to involve the activated Authorization Assigning Rule in the Posting Proposal and the status of the same to be “AwaitAuth” where the Finance users will authorize the invoice postings based on the code part combinations in the assigning rule.However, the Posting Authorization is set to “Automatic Authorization” in the PO Matching in the company setup. Due to this, all the PO based invoices are receiving a status of “Auth” in the Posting Proposal and the assigning rule is not being considered.The reason for this requirement is to validate those invoices where expense accounts on which period allocation is required are reviewed by Finance Manager before approval and voucher creation and all other invoices to go directly in “Auth” status and can be posted by finance users without any authorizations.Is there a way to include the assigning rule in the Posting Proposal and the status of the same to be “AwaitAuth” by not changing the company setup?

Dear IFS experts,I have a question regarding manufacturing.How can we provide materials for a shop order that will be produced the next day (or on another future day)?Taking the following points into account:the sequence of the materials the location of the materialsIs that possible in IFS Cloud, and if so, how? Thank you in advance.

Hi,I simulated a test case in a test environment to investigate the difference between Shop Order Costs and Project Monitoring costs in IFS Cloud. The test case was as follows: Part A was added to project demand using request type Project MRP. A parent Shop Order was created for Part A, requiring 3 pcs of Part B. A child Shop Order was created for Part B to produce 3 pcs as project inventory. For the purpose of this test, I modified S of Part B by adding a high-cost component. This was done intentionally to make the cost flow and any differences between the child and parent Shop Orders clearly visible. There was no DOP connection between Part A and Part B. The child Shop Order was completed, and the 3 pcs were received into inventory. I then issued these 3 pcs directly from inventory to the parent Shop Order. Both Shop Orders were connected to the same project activity. The parent Shop Order was then completed. The costs shown in Shop Order Costs are: Child Shop Order B a

We’ve started using a MS Graph connection to retrieve details of devices maintained in Intune so that our assyst CMDB can be updated without manual intervention.  However, the ICCID (SIM ID) value is always returned as a literal value of ‘null’, even though the value is visible when looking at the device details.Is there a way to configure an datamapper to use a GET command to return additional details, please?Google/Copilot is my friend, of course, and I found this detail, but not sure how it should/if it can be configuredmanagedDevice resource type - Microsoft Graph beta | Microsoft LearnThanks, Steven

Hello everyone,I am currently testing Sales and Operations Planning in IFS Cloud and have successfully configured a basic Product Family and S&OP plan.So far I have:Created an MS Level 0 Product Family Created the Planning Structure linking MS Level 1 parts Created an S&OP plan Successfully copied forecast and supply data from MS Level 1 using Copy S&OP FamilyThe S&OP Grid is populated correctly and I can work with forecast and supply data.My next goal is to evaluate capacity using Sales and Operations Planning Load Analysis, but I am struggling to understand the required setup and prerequisites.When opening Sales and Operations Planning Load Analysis, the screen remains empty and I am not sure:What setup objects are required before Load Analysis can be used? Is a Resource Routing required on the Product Family or on the MS Level 1 parts? Does RRP need to be executed before data becomes available? How are Capacity Scenarios created and connected to S&OP?

Hi everyone,I'm looking for a way to import opening inventory stock quantities into IFS Cloud using a Migration Job.Has anyone configured a Migration Job for this purpose? If so, could you share the procedure, or an example of the configuration?Thanks in advance!

Dear Team,Has anyone here moved from IFS Applications 10 to IFS Cloud while retaining an on-premises deployment? I would be particularly interested in hearing from long-standing IFS customers in the manufacturing sector.We as company that has been using IFS since Apps 8, subsequently upgraded to Apps 10, and maintained continuity of support. As it evaluates IFS Cloud, we are trying to understand the practical licensing and commercial implications of making this transition.A few questions for those who have been through the process: Oracle: Did your migration require Oracle Enterprise Edition, or did this depend on your existing architecture and licensing? IFS Cloud Foundation / Remote Deployment: Were these additional subscriptions required for your on-premises deployment? Additional tools: Were BPA, Industry Lobbies, the 2c8 Modelling Tool and similar components essential to the upgrade, or were they optional depending on your requirements? Licensing continuity: What happened to

We are currently using PMs with Performed Date Based set to Yes. We have a customer scenario where this setting needs to be changed to No.Our plan is to enable Revision Control and make the change to the active PMs. However, these PMs already have work orders (WOs) generated, and the WOs are in different statuses.When we change Performed Date Based to No, the system adjusts the plan based on the Valid From date and Calendar criteria. In this concerned scenario, WOs have been generated for future maintenance periods as their lead time (30-day in below example). It looks like the system skips the months where the WOs are already in Finished status, as expected. However, it creates duplicate plan lines for months where a plan line already exists with an associated WO in Released status. Please help to understand the best options other than marking duplicated lines Generatable = No  

My organization has recently moved to IFS and i am hoping that there are a couple fleet managers out there that are managing multiple sites and equipment types and have some good insights into object hierarchies.  

Hi Team good afternoon, I have a situation, I have to log in to the Microsoft screen every time. I close business reporter and reopen it. Even within the same day.

Business Need / Current ChallengeWe currently maintain forecasts in Demand Planning using Combined Flows because planners forecast at an aggregate business level (product family, product code, customer group, etc.) and rely on Demand Planning to distribute demand to lower levels using established ratios.However, we have not found a standard method to bulk load or mass update Adjusted Demand directly into Combined Flows. Updating demand manually through Demand Client is extremely time-consuming and not scalable when hundreds or thousands of part/customer combinations are involved. QuestionsCan Adjusted Demand be imported directly into a Combined Flow? If yes, what is the recommended method? If no, what is the design rationale for this limitation? Does IFS provide a supported import, migration job, API, or interface to mass-update Adjusted Demand values at the Combined Flow level? What is the recommended approach for organizations that forecast at an aggregate level and need to bulk-lo

I was tasked with adding a new Custom Attribute to an existing Entity Configuration in our IFS Cloud 26 R1 Test environment as part of our preparation for upgrading from Apps 10 UPD 19 to Cloud 26 R1. This was also an opportunity for me to become more familiar with the process.I successfully added the Custom Attribute, but when attempting to publish it, I encountered the error shown in the screenshot below.To troubleshoot the issue, I have tried unpublishing the entity, disapproving the Custom Attribute, disapproving the Entity Configuration itself, and then reapproving and republishing everything. However, I continue to receive the same error.Has anyone encountered this issue before or know what might be causing it? I would appreciate any insight into the underlying cause of the error and the specific steps needed to resolve it.

Does anyone have any documentation regarding the IFS Freight Interface for Cloud 26 R1?Additionally, is Pacejet the only known third-party software solution compatible with IFS Cloud 26 R1, or are there alternative solutions available?
