Document Management (DocMan)

Hello, I have two questionsWe are now starting with DMS - could you let us know whether there is some kind of option that allows us to limit the documents for particular SITE / SITES? We have 5 companies within the holding and some documents are limited for one, some for two, some are available for the whole holding company.  Our sales man have given rights in the CRM module and so on… they have their own customer orders and documents related to them. Is there a way (in case one is on long-term sick leave or holiday) how to “temporarily” add them the rights for the documents of the original person so he can see the contracts necessary? Something like for authorization of purchase orders where you state the “replacement” and the time for which he / she is valid to approve it for.  Thank you very much for your feedback,BRPetra

Dear AllI want to ‘hide’ obsolete documents in the documents attachment pane of an IFS module (functional objects, projects etc.). Is there a setting that can achieve that. I know we can show only the latest revision in an attachments pane, but I can’t see anything that would enable me to not show stand-alone obsolete documents.Does anybody have any ideas on how to achieve this?

When checking out an excelm file from doc revision using the ‘Edit Document’ button, Excel opens but the file does not. The doc is successfully checked out, the revision is downloaded and is visible in the user’s download location and can also be opened from there. As a result of the file not opening, the document cannot be revised / updated. Is there a setting somewhere that will allow excelm files to open when downloading? We are on 24R1 SU12

Hi,in APPS10 when you filter approval steps in “Document Management - Approvals” users see all the approvals steps not only for them. I found out SQL select, that returns only steps that are for particular user:select * from APPROVAL_CURRENT_STEP where (PERSON_ID = '#PERSON_ID#' OR &AO.Document_Group_Members_API.User_Member_Of_Group(GROUP_ID, '#PERSON_ID#') = 'TRUE') but when I copy it to IFS, it gives me error: Any suggestions??ThanksJan

Good afternoon.  Since we have upgraded to 24.2.2 we were able to attach documents using the Attach Existing option.    We believe it is the project action grant Document_attachment_cloud, but it states it is IFS Managed.   Does the Attach Existing Document option in 24.2.2 behave abnormally for anyone else? Thank you,Kevin

Does IFS support “New Outlook” - we have some users that have switched over to the new Outlook and everytime they try to open an attachment they get the pop up stating “This action isn’t supported yet - The New Outlook for WIndows doesn’t currently support this action.  You can switch back to Classic Outlook for WIndows and try again”

we wants to import file from sharepoint to IFS,  is it a way to synchronize or drag and drop function in IFS? or do we need an extra tool? 

Is there a way for a sysadmin or docman admin to confirm the repository that is holding the document?Patrick

Hi Community experts, please advise on the below:After upgrading to 25R1 SU3, we observed new document classes (e.g., DISCO DOC, INVOICE, IPC DOC, IPC JSON, IPC REV, MM DOC) appearing in the Document Class basic data. These classes are visible to all end users. Does the upgrade add these classes? I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on this for better understanding.

Hi Team,After uploading PDF attachments using the routing rule Document_file_import, where are they stored?Later, I could link the attachments to the invoice using the Invoice job without any issue. We have a repository configured and I wonder whether loaded attachments supposed to stored there. If not, where are they stored? are there any place in the application we can access them before attaching to invoice ?Our repository is a file share, and I can’t find the attachments I loaded there. Do I need to Check In the document for it to appear? I’m currently unable to do so due to an Aurena Agent error. Appreciate any input on this.

Hi,Below is an issue raised by a customer,“Document Revision is NOT created and attached to ProjectInvoice object when using the “.rep” layout in Report Rule.”They need documents (pdf)  that will be produced from an operational report and attached to ProjectInvoice object and would like to use Report Rule to set this up.A Report Rule was created for the original PROJECT_INVOICE_REP with some hardcoded values for testing.When testing the print job functionality for the report_id_ := ‘PROJECT_INVOICE_REP’ and layout_name_ := 'ProjectInvoiceRep.rdl', the result pdf is visible in Report Archive, the document is created and attached to the ProjectInvoice object, so the Report Rule works fine.However, Document Revision is NOT created and attached to ProjectInvoice object when using the “.rep

Hi,Is it possible transfer only a selected type of document attachments after creating an Object connection transformation record? Example - Customer needs to attach 2 types of documents to the purchase order page, Purchase order confirmation and the supplier invoice. If we create 2 document classes for above 2 categories, and then setup an object connection transformation to transfer attachments from purchase order to the manual supplier invoice page, is it possible to transfer only the supplier invoice attachments without transferring the Purchase order confirmation document? If possible, what are the configurations we need to use? Best regards,Indika

I have had a customer ask me if there was a tool that can parse out information from a variety of documents and load that information into IFS such as sales contracts, defense contracts, etc.  There is a tool called MegaParse that may fit the bill here.  Does anyone have experience with this tool?  How easy is it to use?  Problems?  COsts? Any information would be appreciated!  Thanks!

Hi Everyone,I would like to submit many documents with one approval template for Client review and approval.How can I proceed, please?I am using IFS APP10Many thanks in advanceRoyIbrahim.

Hi all,I am currently with a client that are in the process of upgrading from apps10 to Cloud, 24R2.One of the questions raised was how to view changes made to minor revisions of a document, between major revisions. It seems that when I check out a document, edit it, check in, the last version is overwritten so no one can see or compare the two versions. For example, in SharePoint I can view every change to each minor or major revision of a document.How do we, or can we do his in Cloud?Thanks in advance,Darrin
