In CTO, the description entered under “Part Configuration Description” is what gets printed on the Customer Quotation/Order Confirmation as the description. Is there a way to bold, underline or italisize certain text within the description?  This would help with readability on the customer-facing documents.  I was hoping some operators like <b> </b>  or surrounding text in *this* would work, but they appear not to:  

When I first login to IFS Cloud (24R1) and release a customer order I receive this error “Execution exception.sender thread caused by ifs.fnd.connect.senders .connectsender$temporary failure exception: exception while sending data caused by: java.net.socketexception: connection reset.”  I release the order again and the error goes away.  It seems to be the first time I log into the application.  It doesn’t bother me but is not acceptable for end users.We do utilitize Avalara integration, so I am wondering if it has something to do with that.

In 25r1 we now have a delivered mailchimp integration from Marketing Campaigns.  I can’t quite see how to turn it on.  There is a system/template BPA called CrmMailchimpIntegration.  And there is a button on the Marketing Campaign Action to create an external campaign (but the button is inactive).  I believe that the BPA needs to be deployed to activate the button, but the BPA cannot be deployed because it’s a template.  If you copy the BPA to another ID, you can deploy it, but then the button would not know to call that BPA ID?What am i missing…?

Hello,    Is there a way to hide the Customer Order Charge Type so that the customer only sees the combined price of the goods they are purchasing when receiving the order confirmation and customer invoice?  Example - The End Customer only wants to see the Delivered at Place cost on their order, they do not want to see the Freight Charge.  However we need to account for that freight charge and the freight charge needs to go to the correct GL account.  When I enter the Charge Type on the Customer Order that charge will automatically show up on the customer confirmation work order, customer just wants to see total cost including freight in one lump sum.   Thank you,.Joe

Hi All.We have received an inquiry from a customer and would like to know how to implement this in IFS Cloud.1. For example, when sales reach ¥1 billion, grant ¥100 million worth of service credits (similar to point management systems used by electronics retailers or Amazon).2. Subsequently, when receiving orders from that customer, offset the order amount using the service credits. If any balance remains after the offset, we want to generate an invoice for that remaining amount.3. It should also be possible to combine and use multiple service credits together.4. Service credits should have an expiration date and become unusable once expired.This functionality corresponds to the rules in IFRS 15.70 - 72.

I have a client who is using Projects in Cloud and wants to invoice from the project based on project milestones. We need to use Customer Orders for shipping and export documentation.Is there a way to close the Customer ORder without invoicing?Thank you 

I got a question from a team member, who had made their Business Activity under a Sales Quotation. This Sales Quotation is connected to a Business Opportunity, but the Business Activity doesn’t show in the Business Opportunity - only on the Sales Quotation.Is this normal in IFS Cloud? We would like to see Business Activities made for Sales Quotations also to show under respective Business Opportunity. We strive to work mostly within the Business opportunity module, and now there is a risk the data regarding the Opportunity becomes fragmented and Activities must be searched for in different places. There might be several opportunities ongoing for each account simultaneously which adds to the risk of fragmented data in my opinion.

Hello, We are using B2B as a customer shop portal with some CRIM’s to approximate the functionality to a webshop/B2C. The functionality is limited and suboptimal given that our basic need is a B2C portal. However, the implementation project chose this option over a third party webshop. We have approx 20 000 B2B users. Sidenote: I am starting to wonder if any other IFS customers in the world are using the B2B portal like we do. If someone has any references, experiences or know anything about this, please DM me.  The matter at hand: Is there any way to separate B2B from MAIN visually, to help the end-user understand where he is? Currently the only distinction is the URL, which is not intuitive for end-users:MAIN: https://ifs.prod.no/main/(...)B2B: 

We have a supplier agreement where the header status is Active, but the part lines are showing status Closed. Because of this, no updates are happening on those lines.Our requirement:We do not want to create new lines. We want to know if there is any way to reopen or reactivate the closed part lines under the same agreement.If reopening is not possible, what is the recommended approach to proceed without creating duplicate lines?Any best practices or configuration tips would be appreciated.

Is there any core functionality that will support the calculation of more than customer rebate?Business Scenario:Customer A has a tiered rebate program where they will receive X percentage based on a tiered minimum sales volume.Additionally, Customer A has a overall minimum sales volume target where they will receive a flat percentage.Data Set-up:At the moment, I’ve created the following:2 Rebate Agreements for all Sales Parts (1 for tiered and 1 for overall minimum) Both are set-up as  Final Settlement performed yearly Each have the same Agreement Priority Customer record is set-up as Multiple RebatesIssue:When the Final Settlement is run, the proposed rebated credit is only being generated for the tiered rebate and it is ignoring the second rebate.  It appears this is because this was the last Rebate Agreement updated.  Is it possi

I found the module (machine learning) which enables predictive scoring for Business Opportunities. The product documentation says something, but leaves gaps in helping to understand how actually the predictive score is calculated.Does anyone have documentation or knowledge on how the predictive score is calculated?Are there lobbies or ready-made reports which uses the predicive score for forecasting? Does it take into account the BO probability also?
