Hi, We have been working on several integration projects which involve either sending data from IFS or pushing data into IFS mainly through RESTful API’s. For some of our external systems calling into IFS I was thinking it would be good to check the status of our IFS instance before commencing with the operation. Is there a suitable IFS Rest API I can call which shows the status of our IFS instance? I would prefer doing this rather than calling something else to see if our IFS instance is operational.We are currently running IFS10. Many Thanks,Dan

Hi there, We are currently trying to gather data on turn around times for approvals within IFS across all object types.  This will be used for KPIs for administrative activities/tasks across the business. The challenge we are facing is that Apps 10 does not say when an approval route was started within the Approval Routing view.  Has anyone else overcome this challenge and if so, how did you do it?

Hello,I have a SVD group that would like to have a form prepopulated with specific options, or save it as a template, so when they make the request again they would only need to add the clients contact information. This would be for something they get on a regular basis and to save time submitting the request.Example: Site Support gets request from a client while they are supporting another client on site. When they return to their desk the would then open the “pre-filled form/template” add the user name and submit it with the “default” values. Thanks in advance for any comments and/or help.Craig

Hi, I’m still fairly new in IFS and doing VAT Return. I need to reconcile Tax Proposal vs Tax Transactions. I need to understand what the difference between the 2 is so as to understand why they do not always match, thanks 

I have ordered a report & when i go to ‘Print Report’ the Date/Number formatting is defaulting as en-US. In the layout the RDL is set as locale and my browser Edge is set to English British language & date format. Where/how do i set the formatting as default to en-GB instead. This is catching a lot of our users out and one would think this should be a fairly basic and straightforward requirement of system capability to default to GB options - we are a UK based company. Thanks

As the authorisation of work tasks is possible in two screens (PREPARE WORK ORDER and WORK TASK TRANSACTION), the authorisation is carried out differently.In the PREPARE WORK ORDER screen, the Jt_Task_Transaction_API.Authorize function is executed; in the WORK TASK TRANSACTION screen, the Authorise__ function with the 'CHECK' parameter is executed first.If my event is called from the PREPARE WORK ORDER screen, my programming works, from the other window does not work. This is because the new status "Authorised" is already saved in the NEW:ROWSTATE variable in the PREPARE WORK ORDER screen, but not in the other case. There it is still "Reported". Is there a way to find out where the event is being called from? Here is my script in the event: IF '&NEW:ROWSTATE' <> 'AUTHORIZED' AND '&NEW:ROWSTATE' <> 'TRANSFERRED' AND NOT ('&OLD:ROWSTATE'

Hello all, We would like to ask the question to the wider IFS community that are running IFS APPS 10 (Release 23);If you have been utilising the Human Resources - Expenses Module.(EE)Expenses ModuleWhat has your end user experience been like? Did the setup of the module require bespoke modelling and/or integration? Do you utilise an mobile application to upload documents, such as IFS Trip Tracker 10? If you are not using this IFS module what other solutions are you using and are these integrable with IFS?  We would like/love to move away from historic Excel spreadsheets.. Thank you all for your time and kind attention,Your assistance and feedback on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards

I am creating a Lobby element for end users but it is not behaving.I have created a data element based on an IAL and I can preview it and I get data results as expected. When I try ro select Columns though, I have to manually type the names. They do not appear in the drop down to select, but manually typing does workWhen I try to use the data elemend in a List display object, it refuses to show data. I just get a green cross and no data.The user has access to the data. I have tried creating an IAL and a quick information and a view direct into the IFSAPP schema but the Display element still will not show any data and none of the methods will let me choose the field names from the Colums sectio.Does anyone have an idea why Element willnot display results

Hello, I am currently having trouble with the SLA on one of the ticket types. The process flow for this type of ticket is as follows: User raises a ticket Ticket goes to line manager for approval if approved, then a task is created and resolved After task is resolved, the ticket is assigned to the Site Head for approval if approved, then it finally goes to the CEO office for approval. The only place where the ticket stops SLA is when the ticket is with the line manager for approval and during the other steps (after step 2 is approved) the SLA clock is running.My Questions: Q1. Is there any expression that can be used or any other way to have the SLA clock of the main ticket stop during the approval processes ? Q2. Is there any expression that can be used or any other way to have the Site Head Approval (Step 4) assigned to the Site head based on the office location selected on the main ticket.
