Data Migration

I’m new to IFS and currently exploring the Excel Plugin in V8 and the Excel Add-in in IFS Cloud.I successfully created an Excel migration job for the COUNTING_REPORT view (Count Report Transaction), exported the data, made necessary changes, validated and executed the job using the Excel Add-in. The changes were reflected in IFS as expected.However, when I followed the same process for the COUNTING_REPORT_LINE_EXTENDED view (Count Per Count Report Transaction), the changes did not reflect in IFS after execution.Could you please advise if there are any specific steps or configurations required for the physical inventory process when using the Excel Add-in with this view? Is there a limitation or approval workflow that I should be aware of?Thank you for your support.Best regards,Gowtham

Hi Everyone,In Cloud 25R1, we have 10 companies in one instance, and we are in a process to migrate/carve out one company (for ex: Company A) to a fresh instance and to remove that company (Company A) data from the existing instance.Is there an easy way to achieve this? your suggestions will be very helpful.And an easy way to know the list of screens/tabs which has that Company (Company A) data to be carved out.In other words:Is there a method to get a list of screens pertaining to the company that should be taken into consideration when carving off a company from our current instance and inserting it into a new instance? 

Here goes a question for all of you who have some expertise deploying containers in the Data Migration Manager (or experienced in any type of migration tool with PAYMENT_ADDRESS as the destination).I’m trying to understand why, upon deploying PAYMENT_ADDRESS, I get the following error:Method NEW failed : ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [MAPPING_TYPE] is mandatory for Payment Address and requires a value. I am providing a value for MAPPING_TYPE as you can see in the screenshot:Error on Data Migration Manager. Notice the field has MAPPING_TYPE has data! I tried changing the value of mapping type to other values to see if that could be the reason (I tested with values such as “CHK” or “PAYMENTADDRESS”) bu

Hi everyone,I need to replace a large number of skills on standard tasks, but doing it manually is not feasible. I tried using Excel Migration, but I encountered an error and it seems this method might not be supported for deletions.As an alternative, I’m considering uploading the new skills in bulk and removing the old ones. Does anyone know how to properly remove skills using Excel Migration? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!Best regards,Stefania

Hello, I'm Markus and I'm new here in this community, and this is my first post.One of my tasks is to prepare the master data from the old ERP and migrate it to the IFS cloud. Of course, a lot of mapping is necessary, as we don't have this many columns and tables in the old ERP.I learned from our consulting to use these data migration tools: Migration Job for LOAD and for MIGI have a VPN to the IFS cloud and can select the data VIEWS via ORACLE SQL Developer to reconcile the column names and fields for the migration job files or to build the mapping for this.Is there a best practice for the migration of master datafrom our old ERP to our IFS cloud?Thank you very much for your knowledgeGreetingsMarkus

I am trying to run a migration job to the customer credit limit table. I am using the excel add-in tool. We have to update some customer credit limits in bulk. The problem is the job keeps telling me that I am trying to update the PARTY_TYPE and that I’m not allowed to. I do not care to modify the party type, as it should remain Customer. I have tried to modify the migration job by eliminating the source code (column) for Party_Type and/or Party_TypeDB, and set up defaults as “CUSTOMER’ and ‘Customer’ and all possible combinations of such. No matter what, the system is convinced I am trying to “update” the party type, when all I want to do is update credit limits. Any advice or resources? This is for IFS Cloud 24R1. I was pointed to IFS Apps 10 - IFS Data Migration Excel Add-in Overview and De

Hi, I would like to update the list price in the view SALES_PART with the data migration. When i try, i have the same message on everyline when i launch the MIGRATE_SOURCE_DATA: ORA-20122: SalesPart.UPDATE: Field [CATALOG_TYPE] in Sales Part may not be modified. The value of [CATALOG_TYPE] is ‘NON’. Is it possible to proceed so ? Thank’s Julien.    

Apps 10 update 12:I am trying to load some new Inventory Locations.  The migration job is pretty straight forward, see below.When I try and execute, the first row is successful but second and subsequent rows fail.  The error is:Insert into WAREHOUSE_BAY_BIN_TAB failed - ORA-20112: WarehouseBayBin.FND_RECORD_EXIST: The Warehouse Bay Bin already exists. (Error caused by line: 3)It appears that there is a LOCATION_SEQUENCE which retrieves from a sequence (if the field is empty in the attribute string).  Looking at the output of the failures, it is trying to use the same LOCATION_SEQUENCE value for each record.  Anybody have any ideas or have been successful in data migrating inventory locations?Thanks in advance,Dom

We are trying to migrate Open stock  which I am trying to do using migration job , the data is loaded successfully and can see it under “Inventory Parts in Stock “, what are the next steps to transfer the balance to GL please? I am trying “ Transfer Inventory Transactions “  option but I can’t see any transactions generated ,is there a step in between I am missing here to generate the inventory transactions so that they can be transferred to GL? I can’t see any data under Inventory transaction history as well so looks like I am missing a step here  

I am using Excel add-in for data migration most of the time no issues.in a few examples i need to do some data retrieval/lookup and have used an expression in the ‘default value’ column in the migration job.However, as yet i am struggling to do the same with a simple SQL select. Is it not possible or is my syntax incorrect. I have no guidance so I am making it up as a I go, I could be doing it incorrectly.I did write a select first in quick reports to prove it was correct, although it is so simple I did not really need to.When I click validate or execute - I don’t get any feedback, (the debug feature does not work) - but if I remove the select my other data updates - so something about my approach is failing. Thank you for any suggestions!  

I’m looking for some sort of materials to get trained on how to use the excel add-in tools for data migration. Would love to learn more about designing migration jobs, setting defaults, strategy, and more. I can’t seem to find anything on Community or Academy for resources. Where do you go to learn?

Dear Experts, I’m trying to build an Excel Migration job that would need to:create some functional objects - EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_API apply a parameter template after the functional object is created - Asset_Param_Template_Util_API.Apply_TemplateBelow is the Medthod List The problem I have is how to pass EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_SEQ when applying the parameter template.This method expects EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_SEQ which is created by method 10 - EQUIPMENT_OBJECT_API. However it seems that at the point of executing method20 the equipment_object_seq is not available.In Mig Jobs - migrate source data it was possible to set a COMMIT rule - I was thinking if such a thing is possible for Excel migration - for example to commit after each method.

Hi.There’s an existing thread on this with a fix here, but following it I was unable to get the migration job working and I’m still receiving the same error. We’re aiming to update only the CODE_F field with a migration job, but running the MIGRATE_SOURCE_DATA job after the CREATE_TABLE_FROM_FILE results in the ORA-20111: Site.NOTEXIST2: The Site object does not exist. error for every line in the file. As  mentioned in the post above, I’ve attempted to add the CONTRACT field into the file mapping, but sadly it has not solved the issue. Any help here would be appreciated. 

We have an existing migration job that worked until Update 20 was applied. The job adds lines to a sales quotation. Now the lines are added successfully only for rows where the customers price list has a value in the Discount Type field for the part in question. The job looks like this:The error returned is “Field [DISCOUNT_TYPE] is mandatory for Order Quote Line Discount and requires a value.”. The migration job doesn’t currently include a method list entry for the Order Quote Line Discount view so it isn’t possible to add a default value for this field: What we would like is to be able to add a default value if there isn’t one on the price list. Is there a way of doing this?

Hi all.My client is upgrading fron IFS App 10 to IFS Cloud 24.2.In IFS Apps 10 they share the consults that are saved with others users and it is a good functionality for them. They asked me if this functionality is allowed in Cloud and I do not find anything related to that.So, is it possible to share the bookmarks? I’m not meanning to export/import functionality between profiles but share the bookmark when you set it up.
