Is there a way to copy an IFS Request for a large volume rollout that has multiple orders with the same configuration?  For example, 1,000 of the same config shipping out, can you create 1,000 of the same IFS request config, or copy an existing one multiple times instead of having to create an individual request 1,000 times?

How do you extend Authorization rule/s (or)add authorization  persons to any screen in APPS 10. Would appreciate  any tips in this regard. 

When we create a customer order out of a work order, there is no option to influence the order of the lines / positions.My idea would be to add a custom field, that offers the option to change the order of the lines.First: enter a new sequencethen: add a right mouse menue to update the pos no in COL.Restriction: only applicable for CO in status Planned.Any comments, help, hints from the community?Btw: I am wondering, if Selling (CRM) is the correct sub forum, but where else would customer orders be located?Regards Martina

Hello All,Since 9/18/2020, about half the time a line is saved on a Customer Order or Sales Quotation we receive a spinning wheel. IFS Apps9, update8 Managed Cloud Services We haven’t found any consistency or reason behind it. Doesn’t happen in other areas of the company to our knowledgeRan the debugger tool and it gets hung up on the following API call: Info : BEGIN &AO.CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE_API.NEW__( :p0 , :p1 , :p2 , :p3 , :p4 ); EXCEPTION WHEN &AO.Error_SYS.Err_Security_Checkpoint THENRequested URL : https://restprod01.ifscloud.net:58443/fndext/clientgateway/AccessPlsql/Invoke?frmCustomerOrder_Cust A case has been entered with IFS, but thought I’d throw it out here while waiting on a response. Case# CS0012423.Any ideas on items to check would be greatly appreciated!!EDIT:  This is happening on any table save, not just Customer Order and Sales Quotation.Thanks,Jeff Nattermann 

Hi guys, We need to integrate a POS for one of our local sites. I don’t thing that IFS 9 is ready to do this. Anybody knows de best way to work this metter? Thanks,

We have a requirement to grant users access to all Business Opportunities but each user should have different access levels. I’m using the CRM Access Filters in Apps 10 to set these users as Admin Users and specify their desired privileges.One user has only Read privilege however, is able to insert and update opportunities. They only get an error about not having Insert or Update privilege when they are connected to an access group. However, the access group is not connected to any filter at all. Am I missing a setup here or misunderstanding the new access functionality? 

We are currently running IFS Apps10 UPD8 exclusively in IEE.  We are starting to deploy Aurena in select functional areas.  Our goal is to add Aurena over time, prioritizing the functional areas where we get the most gain from Aurena.One of the first areas up for consideration is Business Opportunity / CRM.  Unfortunately, my users are extensive Yellow Sticky Note users in Business Opportunity.  They use it to highlight key information that sales needs to know about the opportunity.I’m starting to think about the best way to tackle this.   How do we not lose information between IEE and Aurena?  Do I need to discourage users from using the Sticky notes, possibly create a custom event that stops new notes from being created?I’m looking to share ideas about how to manage this transition without reducing our toolset.

We are working with distributors which are certified to assemble and to sell our products under our own brand.Sometimes, customers are asking us for sales quotations/customer orders on products for small quantities. Based on the product family and the quantities, we would like to reoriente the customer to one of our distributors.Is there something in the sales module which enables to return automatically a sales quotation or customer order with an negative answer to the customer with a proposal of our distributors based on family product and quantities?  

Dear all, I would like to call IEE from an external link and create a new business opportunity. ifsapf:frmOpportunity?COMPANY=100&ACTION=newIn addition, I would like to handover some fieldvalues as parameters (similar to parameters that can be used for externalsearch).With this the user can call the IFS client from an external application, create a new dataset with prefilled values from external application and complete the creation of the new dataset in IFS. eg. create a new Business opportunity:http://someserver:8080/somepath/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application?url=ifsapf:frmOpportunity?COMPANY=100&ACTION=new&DESCRIPTION=NewOpportunityDescription&CUSTOMER_ID=10002015&CURRENCY_CODE=EUR Best regardsJohannes

I would like to know how you manage in IFS the contract review for customer orders.The term "contract review" refers to an examination of the customer order.Much like appraisal review forms, all of the information regarding the customer order is properly assessed and commented upon.Today, we are managing it through a check list (hard copy) and we would like to dematerialize this activity in IFS 

Can anybody please explain the logic for Source Ref 1 on the Shipments screen? 

What is this function? It´s new for us in UPD7 testing.       This is causing errors for us in Return Administration and other places.  

Hi Guys,I have a question in relation to the ‘Self-Billed Customer Order Line With Deviations’ screen. When we add a new line RMB from header (Add line). the ‘Self-billed Price/Curr’ field is populating automatically. We have the option to amend this manually butwe are looking to see how this is calculated and where it pulls from. In the IFS help it looks like the field is coming from the customer order line, but when we check this we cant see any reference to it. Regards,Gary

Hi All, Is there any Screen in IFS 10 to Plan the Customer Order / Parts which need to be delivered to the Customer (with tracking and Monitor the shortages etc) Cheers !!

R & D team is currently in the process of designing the demand planner main client in Aurena. We highly appreciate your suggestions and comments for the new design. Further are there any suggestions to improve the DP main client usability in Aurena ?

When in Business Opportunity, if there is a Sales Process attached when RMB in the header there is a ‘Confirm Sales Process’ option. However, we have certain users that do not see this option.  Unfortunately, this is Live and we do not currently have this is test so unable to debug it to see the API call being made.  Can you please advise on how to grant user(s) this option? Thanking you in advance for looking. John 

Would anyone know why the single occurrence ‘Name’ field would grey out??We are creating the quotation from business opportunity - 9 times out of 10 it works okay, but occasionally the quote greys out the name field on the single occurrence and we cannot amend. So if we want to put a contact/contractor name in the single occurrence we are unable to.The work around is to open up a new sales quotation screen, re-enter the quote number and it frees up the field! Any ideas:Example 1 - Single Occurrence unchecked - delivery = document address - all as expected :) Example 2 - Check the Single Occurrence box - name and address is now greyed out!Only way to clear this issue is to open a NEW window, look up the sales quotationExample 3 - New window, now I can enter name/address after the single occurrence box is checked Any ideas what is causing the screen to lock the field??? What can I do to stop this.Driving me nuts as no errors at all and cant see any background processes holding it up. It

Hello,We are implementing Apps 10 and currently brainstorming around a situation with Sales Quotation.Requirement in the interim is to be able to generate Sales Quotation for Parts currently not existing in the system. Idea is to be able to send out quotes and create Parts (and BOMs) only when the deal is won and want to avoid creating Parts just for Quoting. Using Estimator could be one way but that is not preferred in the interim.Happy to receive suggestions. Thanks!   

We have custom events/API calls running in the background I think that's causing this but struggling to find the cause.I am going from the business opportunity, creating a quote but delivery is greyed out. I then try to modify and see the following error:Any ideas how I can trace back the problem?

Good Morning,I was wondering if there is a plan to put Representatives on Projects or Support Agreements in IFS. This functionality is already available on Leads, Business Opportunities, Business Activities, and Customer Orders (back end). It seems like the only area that representatives has propogated to on the Back End of the Sales Cycle is Customer Orders. Is there a plan to integrate this functionalit into Projects and Support Agreements as well? This would be a help to leverage the same structure to assign Account Managers/account representatives and how they assign out to these various areas. Thanks, Carrie Tietjen

Can we integrate IFS ERP Application (version 10) with the Salesforce CRM? If Yes, then How?

I would like to make a proof of principle of integrating pipedrive and IFS’ CRM functionality together. Pipedrive would be used for filtering and following up the initial sales qualified leads and then after these reach “a certain stage” these would be transferred to IFS’ CRM after a deal is won or lost, pipedrive would be “informed”   so Pipedrive is a black box for IFS regarding where the sales qualified leads (SQL) come from and IFS is a black box for Pipedrive regarding what happens between becoming a SQL and a deal Is this a viable idea? What would be the best way to do this? What would be an alternative set-up? The main goal would be to NOT have two parallel systems, where data has to be entered twice, separately.    note: I found a similar/related topic here:https://community.ifs.com/selling-all-about-engaging-with-your-customers-39/is-possible-to-integrate-ifs-erp-application-with-the-salesforce-crm-702
