Hi. I have a doubt related to Valuations in SubContract (IFSCloud 24R1) I have an item with a Quantity, Item Rate, Value and Value Adjusted (the Calculation Method is Rate Only and the Valuation Method is Quantity) When I going to certificate I introduce the quantity, not the value in euros, and the system multiply this Quantity by the Item Rate. In the following screenshot I show the contract qty, contract item rate and Value field, but this Value field is the Value Adjusted of my subcontract, so the ‘new’ Item Rate should be equals: Value / Contract Qty. So, as you can see, if I enter 1 unit in Valuation Value field the Work Value field (Calculted by system) is bigger than the total value for this item. And this is so because the system multiply de qty I entered by the Contract Item Rate, and in this case, only with 1, unit the Work Value fiels exceeds the total for that item. I think this is an IFS error, but I’m sure. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Sergio

Hello Community, There is a requirement from a construction client, before they award the project they want to do the tendering process in IFS. Is there any direct solution for that in IFS?

Hi everyone, When I did baseline 2, can I change baseline 2 costs? IFSAPP 10 UP8

Currently there is no way to deactivate Project Groups other than to change the status back to “In Progress” from “Active.” However, what would happen if I currently have some active financial projects that are active but the project group has been set to “In Progress”? Would this cause any issues to the Project or financial transactions and capitalization that are done for the project, or since the financial project has already been created, does the project group does not effect the project anymore? If setting a project group back to in progress does affect the project, what is the recommended method to deactivate a project group?

I am unable to attach a Task Template ID to a Work Task Plan in Project Deliverables. I have connected the Template ID to Technical Class = % in Work Task Template Connections. My project deliverable line is for an inventory part which includes a Technical Class. I do not know why I am unable to select a Task Template ID from on the Work Task Plans tab. Is there somewhere else it is defined?

I created a material requirement linked to the project. I generated a supply that exceeds the demand. After going through the PMRP/MRP loops and expiring Inventory PArt Availability Exceptions, I would like to see in the table which project is affected by the oversupply. The system blinds the Project ID column *. What do I need to do to see the project with oversupply at this point.

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 everyone, I'm looking for some insights on how to set up planning within the IFS Project module. We want to implement planning for purchase requisitions and purchase orders in the context of projects. Has anyone already configured this kind of setup in IFS? Are there any best practices or specific functionalities to activate (e.g. links between project planning, procurement needs, milestones, etc.)? Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible to copy multiple activities into another sub project in the same project or a different project? The option is available for single activity copy. We need to remove 10 activities from sub project 1 and copy it to sub project 2 under the same project. AS we have a lot it is time consuming to copy one by one.

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.

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?

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
