Community, One question about project billing. I have a project, has couple no-pat misc demands created and received. but the cost incurred for those no-part purchasing should be billed to another project, how we could make this happen? appreciated your input here. Thank you.

Why would my labor reported costs (Resource tab in PM Navigator) and used costs (in Activity) differ?

Can a Change Order be used to CHANGE/UPDATE the Item Quantity on a Sub / Sales Contract? As far as I can tell CCOs seem to only be capable of creating new Contract Line/Items. I would like to be able to use change orders to manage variations and update the Item Quantities on Sales and Sub Contracts. Thanks Tom

Hi, I have enabled Project Budget Control settings as below for the Project and setup the Project Budget Control consumption checkpoint as Create Purchase Requisition Line. When I created a project supply request that exceeding the budget it does not block creation of the Purchase Requisition. But when I tried Create Purchase order line and Release Purchase order line as consumption check point this budget control option is working. Is there any reason for this?

Hello, Is it possible to use a project delivery address as the single occurrence (without typing it) on a project-connected Customer Order? I don’t think so, but….. Patrick

Hii, when we add a resource group to the planning under activity resource planning and then try to add employees under employee allocation the drop down shows all employees instead the employees relating to particular resource group only. Can someone clarify this? Planning : Employee Allocation :

If so, appreciate a proper approach for delivering condition code enabled part via project del flow.

Product Version: IFS Cloud 24R1 In ‘Planned Cost/Hours per Cost Element’ assistant when an incorrect Cost Element is added and when that cost element is deleted, it is available again after re-opening the assistant as shown in the below images. Question: Could this be a bug or is it the expected behavior?

Hi, (IFS Cloud - 24R2) I have a Sales Contract Item that’s linked to a Project Activity. I want the Revenue from this line to appear on my Project Activity as Planned Revenue. I can see the below from the Help Pages - my question is which posting control linked to this set up? The help page is not too helpful at specifying.

Hi Community, Do you have any idea why it is not possible to attach discount terms to payment terms on a sales contract? My customer contractually negotiates discount terms on sales contracts and would not want to manually assign discounts to each invoice linked to the contract. Here is the error message : Any help will be much appreciated on that subject :)

When a person uses Budgeting and Forecasting, they will determine estimates that may or may not match the estimates from the Project (Project Monitoring). Our customer wants to keep these in sync and is incredulous that we don’t have tools to update the project from the budget/forecast. At least to the best of my knowledge we don’t. This forces the user to have to update in Budgeting and Forecasting, then update the project, which can be tedious and prone to error and time consuming. It seems that the logic to update the estimate from the forecast is pretty straightforward. Has anyone done this? Is there any move by RnD to add this capability? Thank you. /Patrick

Issue Description: In project invoices, the net amount appears incorrect on certain lines. While the discrepancies are usually minor, they cause issues when we send the invoices electronically using the Peppol format. This format validates the quantity, unit price, and total price, which results in rejections of these invoices. As a result, we are forced to send them to the customer manually, bypassing electronic invoicing. Environment: IFS Cloud 24R1 Regional Test Details: Test Plan:>> Log in using the provided test user credentials. Pre-requisite Create MCPR set up Set system decimal places as 2 >> Create a few projects transactions as create sales amount with few decimal values. >> Create a project Invoice Issue- In the project invoice line, the Net amount slightly deviates from the actual calculation (Price × Quantity) In this example line, the quantity is 55 and the unit price 36.5. The net amount is shown as 2007.54 but when we calculate 55*36.5 the net amount should be 2007.5 Fi

Hi, We are trying to setup configured project deliverables in IFS Cloud. We use DOP-orders with configuration to define our deliveries. Does the functionality exist in Cloud and if it does, where do I find it?

Hi, One of our customers use traditional way of picking items from warehouse against the picklist. We have designed a solution to propose a project based scenario. The demands are added on the project, we could reserve the parts against the demand and generate a Project pick list but we cannot find a way to report picking of this picklist. Any pointers where I could report picking of project pick list items? Thanks Ravi Kukreja linkedin.com/in/kukrejaravi

Hi folks, I remeber a question from the certification asking, the activity costs and hours can be categorized into three primary groups: Budgetary Targets, Metrics, Actuals. Does anybody know which of the coumns of the Cost Tab in Project Monitoring are included in the group “Budgetary Targes”?Estimates, Planned, Baseline/None/Earned Value, Scheduled Work or Planned Committed, Commited, Used. Thx in advance! Markus

Functional Scenario: Customer has a sales contract linked to a project. Sends several AFPs. After a specific point a final invoice which has the complete amount on it and also shows the deduction of the already paid AFPs is created. Problems/Issues: Sales Contract does not provide any kind of “Final Invoice” it is always just the project invoice based on AFP and that is based on the certified/confirmed amount. When matching the payment in advance/payment on account with the AFP. IFS automatically creates an invoice. This leads to the issue that we are not able to offset the previously paid AFPs against our complete “final invoice”. We are currently not able to have a process with advance payments via AFP and a final invoice that shows/includes the previously paid AFPs. Are we missing anything here or is such a scenario just currently not designed/considered in the sales-contracts yet? Kind regardsAlex

Hello, We got the error “ The sub project does not exist” when launching the calculate value on Schedule of Work Estimating by WBS. See attached document. Can anybody help ? Thank you. Christophe

On my project resource planning i engaged a tool for several hours and so I have a planned cost. Now, how can I have a real cost ? I can’t have a project transaction or a project cost because on theses tab, only resource type = Person_group Is somebody has a solution ? My version is 23R1

Good day, In a new project for 300 devices (projects 7 in total), we have and will have a situation where one warehouse index will be ordered for the entire project. Therefore, costs should be assigned to each of the seven projects, and currently it looks like this: "common" indexes are mainly attached to the first wagon of one of the projects, which disrupts the costs on the projects. We tested the method of attaching the product/index structure, but when generating later, the system does not calculate the full 1 piece, but 1.000000000000001 and it would have to be changed manually each time. Is there another solution for this?

Hello, Could you please let me know if the steps described below are capturing expected behaviour? please notice column comments. I was expecting the planned cost to get updated after the changed in the PURQ (Purchase Requisition) price but the Planned Cost has not changed (row 5 in table) ID Action Prj Materials & Services window (value) Prj Monitoring window Comment 1 Add demand line (MISC. PARTS) 10,000 Planned Cost = 10,000 2 Create Project Supply Request 10,000 Planned Committed Cost = 10,000 3 Create PURQ 10,000 Planned Cost = 10,000 Planned Committed Cost = 10,000 4 Update Price Manually in PURQ (Change Price/Curr from 10 to 20) 10,000 Planned Cost = 10,000 Planned Committed Cost = 20,000 At the time of creating the PURQ the price of the provider of the external services has changed, hence the manual update on the PURQ 5 Update Planned Cost & Hours in the demand line 10,000 Planned Cost = 10,000 Planned Committed Cost = 20,000 There is no changes in the Planned Cost. The origina

We are using IFS Projects heavily and have found a disappointing set-back that we cannot connect projects to CRO Shop Orders - Disposition or MultiLevel. We also cannot connected the CO created from the CRO SO Repair to a Project activity either. We use Project activity on all our Customer Orders and I am struggling to understand how we seem to be unable to connect projects to CRO repair CO’s

Hello together, I noticed the already existing solutions for this topic, but anyway it does not work for my case: I enabled the option “Required” on the left side, saved, published it and reloaded the page, but in the next step as you can see it did not overtook the setup (right marking). Did I miss something? Thank you and regards Markus

Hi, One of my customer is planning to use MCPR (Multi Company Project Reporting) for a large number of companies. They currently have about 80 companies with in total 2.000 projects. It should be possible for each employee to work on a project in any other company. This results in a large number of MCPR connections. We are wondering if this large number or connections can result in perfomance issues. Do you have experience with using MCPR time registration with a large number of connections? Do you experience performance issues with this? Kind regards, Paul Beekmans
