Document Management (DocMan)

Customer has below question raised via case G2346682, could someone please provide an input on this?Description:We have PDF's for example attached to invoices inside IFS line items to access these files directly.Can these attachments be backed up to the FTP site? ftpna.ifsworld.com/100469We are looking for a way to access the attachments, exporting them all to FTP with some type of identifier referencing the order they came from could be one method. Allowing us access to the attachments via the back end could be another method. Open to suggestions.

When I am sending an attachment to IFS (using my C# application), I wanted to detach the existing file related to that supplier in the IFS. I didn't see any method related to detach in the IFS.Application.Docman.FileManagement.dll file. Please help me on this.  

In the Cloud we have a read log: Logging of reads, writes and deletes of document files. The log records can be found in the File Operation Log window under Basic Data. Event messages are also generated on reads, writes and deletions of document files such that event actions can be added to these events. An end-user can only see his own log records unless he has been granted the DOCMAN ADMINISTRATOR system privilege, when he can see every log record.A document is "read" when a user in some way was able get a copy of the document file to his PC. Examples of operations in the application where this happens are edit (check out), view and print. A document was "written" when a user checks in a document file, either new or modified. A document was deleted when a user removes a document file.Log records

Hello everybody, I would like to know if it’s possible to link a document to an IFS screen without uploading the file to IFS. The document is in a file directory that I want to link to an IFS screen in order to access it directly from the file directory. Thank you.

Hello community,I have a document attached to a customer invoice (CustomerOrderInvHead) and I want to show this document also in the attachments of a customer order (CustomerOrder).

After testing several suggestion from the community and reading lot of documentation, not all efforts were successful with RESTful document managment.The creating of a document with REST is working good (as described in sevaral topics here). But checkout and checkin of existing document files seems a little bit tricky.Example Checkout (main steps):POST: ‘int/ifsapplications/projection/v1/DocumentRevisionHandling.svc/StartFileCheckout’ with payload {"DocClass":"INVOICE","DocNo":"1000004","DocSheet":"1","DocRev":"A1"}POST: ‘int/ifsapplications/projection/v1/DocumentRevisionHandling.svc/FinishFileCheckoutWithPath’ with payload {"DocClass":"INVOICE","DocNo":"1000004","DocSheet":"1","DocRev":"A1","Path":"C:\\Users\\xxx\\Documents\\IFS","Filename":"rg1.TXT"}Having a look on the logging during a checkout and checkin there are sev

Hi, How to easily move documents from one folder to another ?

Where can we configure that an image, added to the Media Library, automatically get ‘Media Print Option’ set to ‘Print’?When we add images to ‘Routing Operation Work Guidelines’, all images are added with ‘Media Print Option’ set to ‘Do Not Print’ - we need to manually toggle this to Print for each image added.However, when adding images to a Non Conformance Report, then the images are added with ‘Media Print Option’ automatically set to ‘Print’.I haven’t been able to find any configuration for this.There are no problems printing the images on the Work instruction when the Media Print Option have been toggled to Print.

Is there a way to automatically attach a document from Sales Basic Data/Order Type to a customer Order?  Any customer order line where I use a part attaches as expected, but not when the order type is entered into the customer order header.  Is this possible to do?  Either with a customization or standard functionality in IFS9?Thank You

Consider the following example: Yes, I know I can use Find to filter on more attributes than are displayed here, but if I would like to see the Document Title in the LOV pulldown (instead of Description1 which is displayed by default) could I achieve this through Page Designer or would that require a modification?

In IFS Cloud one can create Document Structures. What is lacking is the possibility to either Distribute or Transmit the entire Document Structure in IFS Cloud.This requirement comes from a prospect who wants to be able to establish a contract (document) for a Sub Contract in IFS Cloud. The contract consists of a main document and potentially many attachments (to be selected from a library i.e. already present in IFS DocMan). The entire set of documents must be available for proofreading, commenting and eventually approving/signing by both internal and external parties.IFS Cloud has many elements of the solution on-board, such asDocument Structure Document Distribution Document Transmittal Document ApprovalHowever it’s not possible to make them all work together i.e. distribute/transmit/approve/sign an entire document structure at once.

Can I somehow Distribute or Transmit an entire Document Structure in IFS Cloud? It looks to me like only the top document is considered in both scenarios (starting from the Document Structure Navigator, using Share/Distribute when focus is on the topmost document in the structure).

I have request to export the files stored in IFS to external file storage how do I do that.what is the foreign key in the table where the file BLOB are stored.for example I have invoice and  and document attached to the invoice. so in the table where the document is stored how do I identify the file that was stored for that invoice.

When a document is ready to be approved, one opens the document revision in IEE and uses RMB to Status > Approve the following message appears:Login of and on as a different user. Same error pops up.Created another document revision. Attached no document, just processed with Status > Approve. No problems.Problem occurs with other document revisions. For the doc revision shown, a pdf document is connected. I viewed the pdf, used save as. Created a new document revision (from scratch). Checked the pdf just saved in. Status is now Preliminary, File Status: Checked In.Same error message appears. Debug reveals the following:Looking into DOC_ISSUE_API, I learn that the file size is ret

New to doing DocMan in a Cloud environment.What would a user be unable to perform with the Aurena Agent not installed, i.e. can most functionality (create, edit, check-in, view) be done without it?Asking as I am expecting a customer to not have the address info required for running the MSI installation, and unable to configure any User Settings. 

Is there a option to attach a pdf file via PL/SQL script ?I need to pass the UNC path, LU to which the file needs to be attached, doc class and title , inturn the script will attach the mentioned file in that LU 

In many scenarios we have, we want to approve or release the document. Can this be done using the integration projection in regards of CreateDocument?

Background: Create new documents works fine using CreateAndImportDocument.svc/CreateDocument, but we often want to create a new revision (in order to keep history intact).Challenge: When we are invoking CreateAndImportDocument.svc/CreateDocument and supplying a new revision parameter, it doesn’t seem to accept the new revision number, e.g. payload looks as following:{    "DocClass": "ADDO_TEST",    "DocNo": "1365783",    "DocSheet": "1",    "DocRev": "A2",    "Title": "some test of ny revision",    "CreateFileRef": "YES"}Even though the new revision does not exist, IFS Cloud throws:    "error": {        "code": "DB_OBJECT_EXIST",        "message": "Resource already in use.",        "details": [            {

Hi all,Requirement : Send an email with all the attachments added in a Purchase Order / Purchase Order Line.The files are stored in FTP, therefore I cant use the edm_file_storate_tab to get the BLOB.So, I tried to use  Batch_Transfer_Handler_Api.Download_From_Ftp method  to get the files, and attach to email.And it worked for one particular document, but its failling with the below error for other documents, which are in same class, same ftp location, attached to same Purchase Order Line. Details/setup in the Document Revision screen for both are also same. The failling documents are viewable on the application without any error.Debug information also showing the same path/fileName as in edm_file_tab for these failling documents.Could you please advise on any possible reasons to

In the document-revision mask there is a check-box ‘structure’. The helb says about this feature:Selecting this checkbox means that the documents that form this structure can be checked in/out or viewed in the same operation. A document structure can be useful when a document consists of other documents, e. g. if a drawing has multiple subdrawings connected to it. When testing that feature with the IEE it works as described.In Aurena there is no action on check-out and check-in visible. Is that a bug? 

Recently, our newly deployed workstations have been handling EDM files (attachments within IFS) differently than prior configurations. Is there a setting that defines what the IEE does when a user selects a linked document (i.e. a vendor invoice that have been uploaded to EDM and attached to the Posting Proposal). In the past this action would simply show a view of the actual document (PRF, JPG etc.), but now IFS EE triggers a “Save” dialog and will not let the user see within IEE (they must save the file then open it separately in the default viewer (depending on the file type).  

Hello, I have attached documents to several task definitions in the HCM onboarding. I am able to see them, however, when they are assigned to an employee and they view the tasks, I do not see where the document can be viewed. User view: Task definition view: When logged in as myself, I can see the attachment option under Onboarding Program Details for that user, but I do not see any documents.
