Document Management (DocMan)

Hello, I am attempting to setup onboarding, and from what I have read, it is possible to attach documents to a given task. However, when I navigate to the section, I do not see where this option is. Is some additional setup required to allow document attachments in Aurena?

We’re using IFS Apps 10. Some of our users are forgetting to attach a file to the document before releasing or approving the document. My question is twofold:First, is there a way to block the Release or Approval of a document without a file being associated with the document revision record?Secondly, for those that were released or approved as essentially “empty” records, what is the best way to add a file to those records?ThanksEric 

I’m quite new to IFS, sorry if this is an obvious topic. I see that the IT department gets requests to change document numbers on documents in docman. (I would have thought the document controllers would handle this).There seems to be no possibility to do this in the IFS UI. Is there an easy way to change document numbers, or is the only option to update database records to change a document number?

Dears,I am getting this error - DocumentFileServer.IsEmpty on MWO.Can some one suggest RegardsPankaj

Hi,In the Document Object Connection, i have created a custom field such as :SELECT CASEWHEN INSTR(a.KEY_REF,'EMP_NO=')>0 THEN Company_Person_API.Get_Person_ID(regexp_substr(a.KEY_REF,'[^^|=]+',1,2),regexp_substr(a.KEY_REF,'[^^|=]+',1,4))WHEN INSTR(a.KEY_REF,'PERSON_ID=')>0 THEN regexp_substr(a.KEY_REF,'[^^|=]+',1,2)ELSE '' END FROM IFSAPP.ENHANCED_DOC_REFERENCE_OBJECT a where a.objid = :objidSo i can fetch the person ID in this field, and then I have created a custom tab in the Personal File that links to this custom field so i am able to retrieve all the documents pertaining to an employee wherever the document is located.It works, however performance is very low… is there a way to index my custom field PersonID? The Indexed box is grey ... Or has anyone found a more elegant solution ?

A customer is having an issue, when a document is attached to Instant Invoice window, it is not visible in Ledger Items tab of the Customer Analysis window.During the investigation it was identified that the View Name for the LedgerItem LU is different compared to the core environment. See the screenshots below.Customer EnvironmentCore EnvironementWhen the view name is changed as per the core environment issue is getting resolved.According to the technical documentation, view should be the base view. But in the in the System Info of the Ledger Items tab the view is mentioned as LEDGER_ITEM_CU_DET_QRYScreenshot of the technical documentMay I know what are the impact of changing the view, back to same as core environment and what could be the reason for the difference in customer environment.

Hello, I’m trying to find a solution to help automate a few steps in the process of our customer relations. We print the packing list and BOL, have the driver sign the paperwork, and attach the signed paperwork directly to the shipment in IFS. Upon attachment of the signed documentation, I’d like to trigger an email to the customer/ customer relations team with this document.  Triggering the email and dictating the path of the email is no problem, but I’m not sure how to make the files attach to an email since they are BLOBs in our database and not files on an FTP due to SOX requirements. Is it possible to attach the BLOB to an email so that the receiver sees the attached PDF?

Users have training materials from "IFS AdminTrng (Apps9)"  That material contains a link to a "List of Activities and Windows/Screens":  ..........ifsdoc/f1doc/Foundation1/040_administration/210_security/020_permission_sets/reference_itd/feature_activities.htm.  However, that list does not cover ALL the Permission Set Activities, for example, "Document Management" Activities.  Where can I find or get "HELP", i.e., explanations, on all the Activities NOT covered in Foundation1 help as noted ?? 

Hello All, Our customer wishes to use digital signature functionality so they have created a new custom event action for event DOCUMENT_APPROVED. Method:Edm_File_Sign_Util_API.Certify_Pdf_File (‘&DOC_CLASS', '&DOC_NO', '&DOC_SHEET' , '&DOC_REV' , 'Signature from IFS'); They have generated new user certificates in keystores window and when the user try to approve the document, below error “Invalid file name” comes.As you can see there are no special characters in the file name.

Hello,we are currently using the Map Position module to display the locations of our machines. In particular for our service department and their work order planning, it would be important for us to be able to see the address as well as the coordinates. We get the coordinates / geoposition via an REST-Webservice that the machine manufacturer makes available to us. Is there a way to do reverse geocoding with the add-on map position? Or are we forced to connect an API elsewhere?Thank you!

We have created a document class for SOPs. We would love to be able to connect those SOPs relating to topics specific to the purchase order management to the Purchase Order window, regardless of which record is pulled up. If someone was making a new Purchase Order and it was blank or viewing an existing one we would like them to be able to access the same generic SOP document from the attachments.

Hi Guys, Ok, I’m back again with a simple question: Does IFS come with an included 365 day calendar? My calibrations are mostly done by outside vendors who use a 365 day calendar.Example: if the calibrate something on 4/23/2022 (Saturday), then it will be due on 4/23/2023 (Sunday). But the calendar my company uses, skips Sundays and holidays, so IFS shows this gauge due on 4/24/2023 - This will NOT make my auditors happy. So, I’m wondering if IFS has an existing calendar, a 365 day calendar, that i could use? Thanks very much for your assistance, Calibration Guy.
