Data Migration

Hello everyone,We recently migrated to IFS Cloud 25R2 (SU6) and noticed a change in the format of the "ActualShipDate" field in the Dispatch Advice messages (DESADV) we send.Before migration:"ActualShipDate": "2026-07-17T16:04:55" (local timestamp, no timezone indicator)Since the migration to 25R2:"ActualShipDate": "2026-07-20T10:29:20Z" (UTC timestamp, with "Z" suffix) This is causing issues on the receiving side, which expects the previous format without the UTC indicator.Has anyone else run into this on Dispatch Advice (DESADV), or on other outbound messages? Is this an intentional/documented change, and if so, is there a way to keep the previous format?For reference, we have also opened an official support case on this topic: CS0542209.Thanks in advance for any insight! Soumia

Seeking Guidance: IFS Build Place DEV Environment Cloning or Backup ToolsHi everyone,I’m working with an IFS Build Place DEV environment that has expired after approximately 30–40 days. I have access to Build Place and would like to create a new environment by cloning or replicating the existing DEV environment, preserving its configurations, customizations, and data as much as possible.I’d like to know if there are any existing tools, utilities, or extensions available in the IFS Marketplace that can help with this requirement.Specifically: Is there any Marketplace tool available to clone, back up, or restore an IFS Build Place environment? Can an existing environment be replicated after it has expired? Are there any tools or utilities that can help migrate configurations and data to a newly created environment with minimal manual effort? If anyone has developed or used a tool for this purpose, or has a relevant Marketplace solution they can share, I would greatly appreciate your

Hello Data Migration Wizards,I am trying to migrate several “child” serial objects. The ‘parent’ objects already exist. I am using FNDMIG migration jobs for this. This allows me to create the serial objects. However, the field “Belongs_To_Object aka (SUP_MCH_CODE)” always remains empty. As a result, I cannot create a parent-child relationship. If I enter the “Parent Object” manually, it works!  I understand that the field is only insertable, meaning it can't be updated. However, I can't insert new data or update it. I don't get an error message either. The field is simply left blank.I've tried various things, including entering the equipment sequence. Nothing has worked. So, how should I populate the field using a migration job? ​@Marcel.Ausan Thanks in advance.

Good Day,I am in the process of implementing IFS Cloud 25R2. I am currently running the SAP application, and I need to migrate 7-year-old data to IFS Cloud. Tell me if that is possible and what are the risks come with that migration load. The reason is that our legal requirement requires us to carry 7-year-old data to the new system.RegardsRukiya

When clicked on the migration job in excel migration database error occurs. what could be the reason

I want to use a migration job (Procedure Name: EXCEL_MIGRATION) for a specific view to create multiple data records where all fields—except for "Contract"—have the same values, while the "Contract" field has a different value for each record.Previously, I had to write a separate row for each "Contract" and click the "Execute" button to register them.Now, I would like to be able to enter just a single row of data and have multiple records (one for each "Contract") registered upon clicking the "Execute" button.

Smart mapping - no use? I always have to do manually selecting every object in DMM. why can’t it do the job even though my legacy file and target table definitions object names are same? I did the Re-synch and set legacy file to target before I did that smart mapping option. Any ideas? 

As I’m learning Data Migration Manager I have created a few projects. For a couple of them, while Mapping Legacy Tables to Migration Object there has not been any Target Tables available in the Smart Mapping assistant and I have had a hard time figuring out why. Am I missing any setup? What are the requirements for Target Tables to be available for Smart Mapping? 

In cloud version, cannot create data migration job for custom view. Returning “custom lu views are not supported” error. Any idea?

I am trying to update authoriser field for supplier invoice using a migration job as below , job is executing without any errors but the value is not updating in the invoice tab Can add the authoriser manually so the configuration part looks ok

Hi All, I have migrated data into Fixed assets Object page by creating a migration job with the view FA_OBJECT.And now I’m trying to import objects to each FA Object to add Acquisition data and Depreciation information.So I created a migration job connecting FA_OBJECT_TRANSACTION view but it seems like that’s not the correct way to migrate them because they’re not showing in balance analysis report. But I can see records in Post Imported Object Transactions page.I would really appreciate it if I could get your guidance to migrate them.Thank you in Advance! 

We are working on an effort to implement the India GET Functionality. To implement this new functionality we need to create a new Company/Site. We will be migrating from one site to another. As we work through all transactions, we have an issue regarding our open inter-site Purchase Orders > Customer Orders.Specifically:We have Intersite Purchase Orders (our India site 1300) to one of our internal Supplier: 10 where the connected Customer Order is on Site 10.When we migrate the Purchase Orders (from site 1300 to the new site with India Get: 1301) we are looking for a way/best practice to reconnect them to the existing Customer Orders in Site 10.Product Version: 24.2.6We have close to 4,000 open Inter-Site PO Lines that will need to be migrated to the new site. And are looking for the best way to update all of them in mass.

This I think is one of those questions that will be hard to solve, hopefully I’m wrong. I have been using the Data Migration Manager for some time now, it works well(ish) for (al)most all containers… sometimes… well… nobody’s perfect 😁One area where I have struggle particularly is the Additional Deployment Processes, more specifically, the Post Deployment actions that update statuses.I have seen one example created by IFS R&D which is the one that update statuses for CUSTOMER_ORDER entities. It is normally included in DMM templates and it does precisely what it should do.Updating Customer Order States in DMM: The “Happy” path!I needed to do something similar for PROJECTS.I thought updating STATES for other entities (such as PROJECTS) using this example as reference, should land me where I needed to be, so after finding what code behind gets executed when updating the STATE of Project I got myself into the task of creating a similar Additional Deployment Process in DMM, only to mov

Hi together,we are currently in an Upgrade Project to 22R2 and we want to migrate Notes.We found the topic Job migration of Business Opportunity - Note issue | IFS Community but when we enter the method BUSINESS_OPPORTUNITY_API.Write_Note_ in the Method List of the Mig Job we get the following error. So we checked the API in PL/SQL Developer and saw that the datatype for rowid_ is ROWID. This seems wrong.Does anybody have the same issue? Do you know how to fix that error?Thanks in Advance for any help!Best regards,Andreas

Hello;        I’m new to IFS & I’m quite surprised at the difficulty there is in changing a unit of measure. I’m a designer, & a portion of my former company was acquired by another who uses IFS. In the process there was a lubricant that got transferred & the unit of measurement was a pail. I’m not sure what the correct unit is but that wasn’t the unit it was supposed to be. Instead of being able to correct the unit, my main division of the company is saying the only thing we can do is create a new part no. with the correct unit of measure. This lubricant is used all over the place in 103 boms & 93 drawings which would have to be changed. Is this a limitation with IFS, & if it is, why would it be. I believe with our former system using CMS, we would have just revised the unit, & been done with it. I should add, it has already been used which seems to make it more of an issue.Thanks for any input in advance. SonDrum

I’m not sure what’s going on but I have the projections for my migration job granted to the permission set that I need them granted to as well as permission for FND_ADMIN, and FNDMIG_EXCEL_ADDIN and I’m still getting this error in my production environment. I have less permissions granted in my test environment and it’s loading with no issue. I even imported the permission sets from my test environment to prod and it’s still giving me the error. Any help is appreciated.    

Hi IFS Community!Upon running the Excel-Add In for Data Migrations on IFS Cloud for a specific job in Production, we get "Unexpected end of JSON file" with no further information as to why this is happening.We migrated the same data to a different environment last week (CFG) with NO errors whatsoever, so we know that the data we are migrating is not the issue.We checked permissions for the user running the migration and it all looks fine as well. Any ideas what could be causing it?
