Document Management (DocMan)

 I am trying to setup an object connection transformation for the following. The behaviour I am expecting is :1.Attach a document to Object type2.Attached document should be inherited by all the Functional Objects connected to that Object type3.Attached document should be inherited by the Work Order/ Work Tasks created  which are connected to that Functional Object The items 1 & 2 were successful but the item 3 has failed.Should this be a straightforward connection or am I doing something wrong ? 

Hello, I have several users who are part of an approval Process attached to Business Opportunities. We have just switched to Cloud and previously they were able to do their approvals with no issues. They are also able to do the approvals in our TEST environment without Issue. However in Prod they make it to the point of the pop-up that asks “Do you want to Approve the Selected step?” they click “Ok” and then get a system permission error. I have looked and compared just about everything under permissions I can and have not turned up anything different. Does anyone have any Ideas or suggestions?

I have an issue that has only cropped up with a few users and can’t be solved by normal troubleshooting of Aurena Agent.Process:Prepare Work Order → Attachments → Documents → New Document Set Doc Class and Format, click Select, choose file (located on desktop folder, also tried moving it to the \Documents\IFS folder) Click Upload. The following error messages crop up:1st error message: EdmFile.The "EDM File” has already been removed by another user.2nd error message: Something went wrong when uploading the file using the Aurena Agent. Error message: ForbiddenI have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Aurena Agent, including logout/reboot. Sometimes this works for a little while, but then the issue returns. As mentioned, this is only an issue for a few users, so I don’t think it’s a case of e.g. security settings crashing with IFS operations.Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

 Hi everyone,I want to send a PDF file attached in the "Attachments" section of the IFS 10 application to a user via email. Here are the steps I followed, but I was unsuccessful.  Why am I getting this error? What alternative approach can I take? I would appreciate your help. I retrieved the BLOB data of the relevant attachment using the query:SELECT k.file_data FROM edm_file_storage I wrote a function that returns this value. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Get_Oq_File_Data(     INQUIRY_NO_ IN VARCHAR2,      REVISION_NO_ IN VARCHAR2 )  RETURN BLOB IS     v_file_data BLOB;   BEGIN     SELECT t.file_data      INTO v_file_data     FROM Doc_Reference_Object_tab d     JOIN Edm_File_Tab e ON e.doc_class = d.doc_class                          AND e.doc_no = d.doc_no                          AND e.doc_sheet = d.doc_sheet                         AND e.doc_rev = d.doc_rev     JOIN EDM_FILE_STORAGE_TAB t ON e.doc_class = t.doc_class                                  AND e.doc_no = t.doc_no     WHERE

Hi together,I have a question regarding access not on a sole document, but on a document folder for defined users. So, is it possible to setup access for a user for the whole document folder instead of just setup the access for a sole document itself?Thx and regards, Markus

We are looking to upgrade to Cloud from Apps 10 in the near future.Is it possible to search the content within documents in  Cloud (24R2 or greater)? 

Hi,When attaching a zip file, the system sometimes creates two files: "ORIGINAL" and "VIEW" in the "FILE REFS" tab in the document revision:The parameterization looks like this:A duplicate entry is visible in the edm_file_tab table. Does anyone know why the system creates "ORIGINAL" in most, and sometimes ‘ORIGINAL’ and ‘VIEW’?Best regards

I would like to setup specific Document Classes to go through a default approval by our Document Manager.  We are having trouble with users not selecting a template before submitting. Does this functionality exist?  If not, does anybody have an idea of how I could do a custom event to complete this?

I have created a document revision and add approval steps to create the approval routine within the department. I have disable the option ‘Update Allowed During Approval’. Because of that option any changes on the document couldn’t be performed during the approval. However, Access can be edited and changed during the approval process. Does anyone know the logic behind this behaviour or is it a bug in IFS?

Hi,We have a custom filed in ApprovalRouting entity in IFS cloud. Is it possible to display it in the Approval routing section in the pages ?Page designer does not show the approval routing section for configurations.Many thanks for your inputs on this issue.Best regards,Uvini

Hi all, We’ll need to migrate a number of documents out of IFS, and we would like to verify the document size of these documents. Is there a way to see this in IFS? (working with IFS10)

The doc class is getting fetched only in the header level when using the drag and drop option to attach files. But when the user manually attaching files by browsing, the doc class gets automatically fetched in both header level and line level.When drag and drop option is used. When manual browsing option is used.Need to know the reason for this difference between two options.

Hi everyone, I would like to create a Word document, attached on my screen. The screen I want to replicate is the steps tab in the wrok task screen :And I want to create this kind of chart on Word :With this rules :For each Object ID in the line, create a new independant chart, with the name of the object in the first cell (1) For each steps for this object, create a new line, with the step description in the second column (2,3) In the first column of each line, retrieve the media linked to the step line (We could have more than one photo)Do you think it is possible to do that using docman macros ? 

Hello everyone,We have started implementing E-Sign on Cloud 23R2 and are experiencing problems loading .P12 certificates to be used in the digital signature process for Documents.

We had just setup IFS file storage in a test Instance running 24R2, the problem is it saved files in docman folder with a random filenameAnyone know how to setup IFS file storage so it save file in its own dedicated document class folder?Thank you very much, your help is much appreciated. 

Hello,I have several questions about approval models.I've created a template with two approval steps and assigned it to a document class.As a user, when I’m in a screen like Purchase Order and I add a document with this document class: What happens to the visibility of this document? Can only the owner and approvers see it? Does the approval model restrict access in any way? What impact does this approval model have on the document? Does it change its status, permissions, or other attributes? When I attach a document to an object (e.g., a Purchase Order), is it possible to trigger the approval workflow automatically? From what I see, it seems that the document remains in a preliminary stage, and I have to go to the revision screen to start the approval. Is this the expected behavior? Thanks in advance for your help!Wishing you an excellent day.

Hello,I, and I’m sure I’m not alone, have the requirement to have a document connected to a Misc Demand or Misc No Part Demand be carried over to the supply which would be a purchase requisition line.  IFS does not have a “standard” transformation for this.  Has anyone defined a custom field that would carry from the demand to the requisition so that a normal transformation could be done?  (Extend the target view??).  Or, have written the SQL that could be used as a transformation method?Thank youPatrick

Hello everyone,I would like to know if media elements (such as images, videos, or other attachments) in IFS Applications have a revision system. Specifically, is there a way to track changes to these elements, similar to document revisions?Additionally, I’m looking for a method to automatically send modified media elements to an external server whenever they are updated. Does IFS provide any built-in functionality for this, or would this require a custom integration?Thanks in advance for your insights!

Is it possible to connect the attachment on a Mixed Payment for a customer payment to the Customer Analysis payment ? We had numerous tries in the Object Transformation Connection screen but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts ? 

Currently in Apps 9 we have turned off the ability to add documents to purchase order lines - all attachments should be kept at the header level for ease of finding them.  I cannot seem to find the ability to do this in IFS Cloud - does anyone have any idea how this is done?

Hi. For the go live, my client has to migrate more than 2000 files to IFS. The files are in a folder shared. Is there a tool in IFS to migrate all at once?  Is there anything like a migration tool?I’ll only find the screen Upload Document, but it is no effective to the first time due the number or documents. Any idea?Thank you in adavance. Sergio
