Hi everyone,

In IFS Cloud, we have noticed that the Connect Object functionality (accessed from the Activity Materials and Services window in Project Management) does not allow us to select Work Order from the Object Type dropdown. Work Order is not included in the available options.

Can anyone confirm if excluding Work Orders from the Object Type dropdown is standard in IFS Cloud? If not, how can this be enabled through Projects? (We understand that, from the Work Order end, we can connect the project activity.)

Additionally, while Work Task is available in the default Manual Connections in the Project Setup Parameters, it is still not shown in the Object Type dropdown within Connect Object.

Thank you.

 

I have attached screenshots for reference.

Hi ​@Vihanga Pathiraje,

I quickly check the debug console, and yes, the Work Task connection is intentionally excluded. 

The system is calling below Select statement for the Object Type drop-down.

SELECT proj_lu_name proj_lu_client, project_id project_id, proj_lu_name_db proj_lu_name, NULL objgrants, 'ManualActivityConProj' luname, 'PROJ_LU_NAME='||proj_lu_name_db||'^'||'PROJECT_ID='||project_id||'^' keyref, 'W/"'||objid||':'||objversion||'"' etag FROM MANUAL_ACTIVITY_CON_PROJ WHERE ((project_id = 'KK-REV CAP' AND (proj_lu_name_db != 'POCOLINEP' AND proj_lu_name_db != 'POCOLINENP' AND proj_lu_name_db != 'WT') AND manual_connection_db = 'ALLOWED'))) A WHERE ((project_id = 'KK-REV CAP'))

Could this be a bug? The manual connections indicate that the system should allow manual connection of work tasks to a project.

​@RASFE,

I don’t think so, since there is a standard option to create a new Work Order from the Activity level directly, and moreover, a Work Order can be linked with an Activity Sequence manually from the Work Order screen.

Anyways ​@Vihanga Pathiraje, it would be better if you could raise a ticket with LCS to get a proper response for this restriction.

Thanks ​@Abdul  for the clarifications.  I’ll raise a ticket with LCS to confirm this restriction officially.
