I have created one Document phrase with two languages (English and German). When I try to connect the phrase to Sales part I cannot connect Phrase ID, only actual translation of the phrase. So when Invoice is printed and Document Text is added there it will only add translation attached to sales part. SO it will actually not add document text based on Customers Language on the invoice layout as it should.How can I get Document Text Phrase translations working for Sales part.We have IFS10 Upd10Jarkko Seppälä

Cost entry error on raw material produced bad costing transactions through out the system specifically Customer Orders.   Is there a way to reverse the negative costs?  Processing the return did not with the current corrected costs in the system.   I was thinking that we would have to change the costs to the wrong amount, process the return then put the correct cost in and invoice the item.

IFS Community,We are finding the auto-reservations is not reserving materials to the CO Lines in order by the Planned ship date. What is the field used to determine what is reserved first and is there a setting we can change to ensure the auto-reservations is using the Customer Order Line Planned Ship Date?

Error created when I generate invoice from work order. Please guide. What the reason behind this???

We are in the process of an upgrade from V9 to Cloud with the noted versions.  We also have a requirement to move from Vertex Q Series Version 5 which is the only compatible version with V9 to Vertex O Series version 9 which is required for Cloud.  We are being told that there is no upgrade path from Q to O series either for the configuration or the data.  The configuration we can live with and understand, but losing the data for all customer orders/invoices done prior to the upgrade has become a significant problem.  We have a need to be able to reprint invoices for up to 10 years, but don’t retain hard copies of all of that data, only about the most recent 3 years is in the database.We are now faced with the need to print out 165,000 invoices in order to have a retained copy of the invoices after the upgrade since we won’t be able to reprint them after the upgrade is finished.I’m asking the community to see whether any other North America customers have 1) gone through this process?

Hi, On the customer order page (B2B IFS CLOUD), I would like to add a button to print the order confirmation.Do you have any idea how to do this?

Hello Community,We’re using Apps 9 and I’m trying to set up Reliability statistics at customer order level (on time in full delivery of an order v promised date). We have multiple lines on many orders. I can create statistics for delivery v promised date for all lines that were shipped, but that’s not quite what I’m looking for.Can anyone suggest a method?  Do I need to combine it with backlog somehow?Thanks for your help 

Dear Community We have found that terminals delivered to us MC9300 have the newest Android version (11) installed and we are observing issue with proper running of IFS Scan It. The problem is that when the process starts, there is no focus set to any field in the screen. Did any of you experienced the same issue within new Android version? Is there a plan to combine the MC9300 and Android 11? Thanks for any help in that case.

Is anyone creating a dispatch route for trucks including timing of stops?   We would also like to attach pictures when the driver arrives and makes the delivery at the site.

If we turn on “Execute Order Change Online” it is very helpful for multi-site (site 0) orders to change instantly (dates, qtys, etc.), but we have come across an issue for blocked orders being released. We get this error message when unblocking the order on site 0 and cannot move forward. Is there a setting we are missing that will allow orders to be unblocked online?  

Using a non-inventory sales part on a customer order line, is it possible to RMB to Order Line Details > Order Line Discount to update the discount on this type of part number? In App9 I’m currently unable to because it is grayed out. It is available on a customer order line with a sales part number entered. We are unsure if this is an access issue or set up this way.  We have a preference to use RMB option as we can choose the Discount Type which has certain General Ledger set up associated with it. Manually entering into the Discount % column will calculate the discount but not flow into our general ledger appropriately.Thank you ~

I would like to understand whether we can automate a current right-click option within one of the IFS screens.  This would be to run nightly with set parameters.This is on the Sales Part Base Prices screen. This would ideally run every night. There is not currently a database task for these.-- Add New Sales Parts-- Add New Sales Parts to Sales Price ListsIf possible, can you please instruct how and we will implement into our non-production environment?

Hi, I’m looking for a way to check price freeze automatically on customer order lines in Apps 10. Is there a way to set the default value as selected in a base profile or somewhere else? Worst case scenario, I guess we could create some kind of event to check the box when the order is released. Any help is appreciated.Mike  

Hello IFS Community,We are having issues that when we update our External Customer Orders for Cancellations, Quantity  and/or Planned Delivery Date changes, that if there is a pick list printed, reservations on items or a shop order started on a pegged Shop Order, t allows the Customer Service to make these changes without any error or notifications.  It does push messages to the Incoming Change Request for Customer Orders, but we have many changes and this message queue is very labor intensive.  A question is are we using best practice to make these changes to the External CO? Or should we be changing the Internal CO?  If we change the Internal CO, will it provide an error message to the Customer Service team and/or once that changes are made, will it update upstream to the Internal PO and Internal CO?

Hi,We have an integration that picks up a XML-file and uses a BizApi to create receipts in IFS 9.Everything works fine in our PROD environment.But in TEST env it behaves very strange. Problem is that the messages are processed and gets status Finished. But no receipt is created.In PL/SQL I have executed the methods that the BizApi uses. Then there is no problem. Receipts are created correctly.Any ideas about this?

I have a report rule to print multiple COPIES of a layout but if the layout is more than 1 page it will print # copies of page 1 then # copies of page 2.  How can I get it to print page 1, 2, page 1, 2?  There is no explanation anywhere about the DuplexMode, PrintConfFileName, SpoolFileName Action Properties  for this Action. I’d like to know if the DuplexMode would be used for this purpose? Documentation on the Report Rule Action Properties is terrible - just some feedback.

Hi,We have inventory parts that are getting written off the books because it is unlikely that we will sell them. However, we keep the parts in-house and just physically move them to a “written-off” location in the building. Instead of removing the parts from IFS stock via a Material Requisition, I would like to “move” them to a new inventory location in IFS that is not reflected on the books. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how it would be processed in IFS?Thanks in advance for any input or advice. 

Is it a bad idea to import NEW distribution orders into IFS via sql insert statements? My gut tells me that it won’t work correctly. I imagine that when you create a Distribution Order in IFS it creates data in multiple tables that would cause issues if I only inserted into the main DO table.  Thanks!

Using IFSapp10 UPD9 with IFS freight Interface.  we have the need to consolidate shipments for a customer.  I am able to add shipments to a consolidated shipment but that seems to be the end of the functionality.  I want one pack list and one deliver id for the consolidated shipment so I can process through one of the supported freight interfaces.  Can this be done?  If so, examples would be great.

We are currently on IFS Apps 10 utilizing the Sales Quotation module.  Does anyone know of a flag to turn off update Sell Price when a quantity is changed or the customer is changed.  Sell Price is considered list for us and is changed on a regular basis.  If we select the wrong customer and flip it to the correct customer the Sell Price defaults back to system default.  Same with updating a quantity. Thank You

Hello Community, I’m trying to apply a fix amount of delivery freight on each shipment. To that, I'm trying to use delivery freiht management. It's working good but I have to check manually flag "Apply Fixed  Delivery Freight" on each shipment. Do you know if there is a standard way to automatically check flag “Apply Fixed Delivery Freight” with IFS standard ? Thanks!Anthony
