Framework & Experience (Infrastructure, Cloud, Integration, Dev Tools)

Hi Everyone,Thought this might be useful for anyone working with REST APIs in IFS Cloud. Since many of us use APIs for integrations, automation, and data access, I wanted to share a simple approach that combines the power of VS Code, Python, and IFS Cloud REST APIs.I’ve found this method very convenient because it provides the flexibility of Python development together with the productivity features of VS Code. More importantly, in the long run, this approach becomes:✅ Reusable✅ Shareable across teams✅ Easy to implement and extend✅ Object-Oriented (OOP-based)✅ Easier to maintain✅ Better for structured error handlingThis is especially useful if you are developing integration tools or reusable API utilities — not just for REST API testing.This example demonstrates how to:✅ Authenticate against IFS Cloud using OAuth2 Client Credentials✅ Obtain an access token✅ Call an IFS Projection endpoint using a GET requestFeel free to try it out and share your feedback. Also interested to know what t

According to the deprecation log here:  Crystal Reports integration is planned to be removed entirely from IFS Cloud with the 25R1 release.Can we get a comment on whether this is just a plan, or if it is definitely going to happen.We have a number of customers who have a large number of Crystal Reports, used for both Quick and Operational Reports.  If this is going to be removed they face a huge amount of rework based on this.  It is going to put Customers off upgrading to Cloud for sure.What are IFS suggesting is used to replace these Crystal reports that businesses have come to rely on over the years they have been IFS Customers?

My user created training videos for Aurena a couple weeks ago. He re-watched it and noticed that Aurena used to have forward and back buttons in the top navigation but now it does not. Did anyone else noticed that their forward/back buttons disappeared? and has there been an update or is this a bug?

Hi all, I noticed that the Heavy Cleanup job is taking over 10 hours in our IFS10 environment - so despite it starting just after midnight, it will still be running when we start in the mornings.What is a “normal” execution time for this job? And is there anything we can look at to have this improved?

When I create an invoice, The CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP_REQUEST section was generated as the first section in the XML, in accordance with the schema.That is no longer the case.The PDF is generated, which is fine, but the problem is that I can no longer display a preview in the Report Designer, because an error message appears:“The current schema doesn't seem to match the specified file, render anyway?”But when I answer yes, nothing happens. We use Cloud 25R2 

I have created a Scheduled Report from a Quick Report and set it to email myself however it will not execute. It hasn’t automatically created a background job for it either. Am I missing something? 

Does anyone have a list of the LTU’s available for IFS Cloud? 

Hello Community,I have a requirement where, when creating a new Purchase Requisition, the user is currently able to select any requisitioner. However, we would like to restrict this so that in the LOV, the user can only see their own requisitioner ID.I have already tried the following approach, but I am not sure what I might be missing.Could anyone please advise on how this can be achieved? 

We are planning to implement the French e-Invoicing solution using IFS version 24R1, with an upgrade to version 25R2 planned around May.Our partner will provide supplier invoices in XML format.We have started reviewing the following documentation:https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/030_administration/030_integration/330_ifs_applications_business_components/022_configure_receiving_ifs_e-invoices/However, we would like to understand how to convert the partner-provided XML into a structure that IFS can process. How should the XML fields be mapped to the corresponding fields in IFS?Do we need to use a transformer for this purpose? If so, could you please explain how to create one and point us to any relevant documentation. Thank you in advance

is it possible to re-order Page Parameters for a lobby - instead of deleting them and adding them back again in your preferred sequence?Thanks for helping! 

Hi Everyone , We are trying to connect PSO with IFS Cloud using IFS Optimization Framework Configuration Assistant. When configuration finishes all validations get successful, but Test connection fails saying ‘Failed to connect IFS Optimization Server’. Also gives below error to set data manually : Failed to connect to IFS Optimization server account Default. Error message was: 400 - Bad Request. The user IFSSCHEDULING and the parameters OpenIdAuthority, OpenIdClientId, UserNameClaim may need to be set up manually. Do you want to continue?Did anyone came across similar situation and can guide me solving the same? Regards,Nandani

I have written a PL/SQL script that generates the Navigator tree so that I can export it to an Excel file. File for the pl/sql-script: Export Navigator Tree 20260423.txtI have now organised the Excel file so that I can go through all the menu items with the departments to discuss the permission sets for the end-user roles and functional roles.   I add also the Excel-File: Navigator_Tree_Basis.xlsxPerhaps it might also be of use to other administrators.

Hi Community, I have a question regarding radio buttons that are automatically filled with a default value. Is it possible to change this so that no option is selected by default? For example, I would prefer that neither option (remove/keep) is preselected, so that the end user is required to make a decision before being able to press OK. At the moment, the user can immediately press OK, and there is no way to undo the action afterward, since remove is automatically selected when opening the assistant. 

Hi All,Is there a way to format number with respective currency code prefixed, with specific number formats?i.e $126,2356.369   $26.35  if currency code is USD, £653,586.56  £56.6589 if currency code is GBP Thank you in Advance!

While attempting to add a query as an entity in a projection in IFS Cloud 24R1, I encountered the following error:"The query ShopOrderTool is not published."This occurred while my session language was set to French. Under normal circumstances, I work in English.The query appears to be correctly published, as it is available and selectable in the dynamic list. However, the validation still fails during the projection configuration.To better understand the behavior, I investigated further at the database level. It seems that the validation relies on a comparison against a string value ('True') returned by the Get_Published function. When the session language is set to French, this function instead returns "Vrai", which causes the condition to fail.Relevant code snippet:PROCEDURE Check_Query_Published ( query_ IN VARCHAR2 )ISBEGIN General_SYS.Init_Method(Query_Artifact_API.lu_name_, 'Query_Artifact_API', 'Check_Query_Published'); IF Get_Published(query_) != 'True' THEN ERROR_SY

Hi reader,IFS V Cloud 24.9I have a lobby element that correctly displays a count of the two records found, which is correct based on my parameters.But I am unable to navigate to the Opportunities page via the navigation as i get an error.If i remove this one line of code from the where clause in the Datasource, so that all other parameters defined are used - then the navigation to opportunities works without error....AND (CLOSURE_DATE >= NVL($DATE_FROM$, SYSDATE) AND CLOSURE_DATE <= NVL($DATE_TO$, SYSDATE))... Yes, i have also used the Between syntax as well and the tile result count is still correct in the datasource as shown above - so it does not seem to matter. But when I put this line of code back into the where clause of the data element I get an error again on the navigation…Error details: [{"code":1861,"message":"ORA-01861: literal does not match format string"}] I have tried passing the dates as filter in the url address, as well as many other permutations to the point w

I added translations in translatable text section, refreshed server cache, client cache, language cache, the translation won’t display.It worked before, I don’t know what's wrong.I try to display the correct translation for the selected line (the path confirms it’s on the page I want to see changes) : Here is translations :Here you can see page’s missing translation : Here aurena page designer confirms I translated the good section : Here is the custom attribute definition on aurena page designer : Any idea what I did wrong ?

Users now have to toggle on the “Send Email” toggle when emailing a PO.This wasn't the case in 23R1, but in 23R2, they have to do this, and do it for every PO. This has caused the team to miss/forget to toggle it.Can this be enabled to be on by default? 

Dear Community,We are currently facing a WADACO login issue and have not been able to identify the root cause so far. TouchApps are working fine, and we have not found any issues with the application URL. We would really appreciate it if anyone could share insights or suggest a possible solution to resolve this issue.Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi everyone,We're flagging an upcoming direction of travel early, and we'd like your view before anything is locked in.The problem we're solving: Customization source files in IFS Cloud are stored as XML today. That format made sense once, but it’s now what stands between developers and a smoother day. PR diffs are noisy, merges are awkward, repositories grow heavier than they need to be, and modern tooling, including AI assistants and agents, can't reason over it reliably. The friction shows up most where it matters: maintaining customizations and seamlessly moving through upgrades.Why now: An enhanced stabilization of the core IFS Cloud experience is one of our current priorities, and source persistence has been identified as a key piece of the puzzle. Moving to a clean, text-based format unlocks the things customers & partners tell us they want: a more AI-native development experience that genuinely works on their code; cleaner reviews, easier merges, lighter repositories, and a

I would like to know the maximum number of columns that can be displayed in the table view of the IFS Cloud list control.

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionCurrently, in IFS Cloud, add-on/custom entities appear to be available in Query Designer only when Row-Level Security (RLS) is configured for the entity.This creates a limitation when customers want to create QuickSite reports using add-on/custom entities that do not require Row-Level Security from a business or technical perspective.The improvement request is to allow add-on/custom entities without RLS to be displayed and used in Query Designer, provided the user has the required access/permissions. B. Context and scope1) Who is affected?Customers2) FrequencyThis issue can occur whenever customers create add-on/custom entities and try to use them in Query Designer or QuickSite reports. 3) Product area / functionality affectedQuery DesignerQuickSite / Quick Sight Reports 4) Current behaviorEntities without Row-Level Security configuration are not displayed under All Entities in Query Designer.Because o

Hi,In an instance, when trying to create a broadcast message, it gives the error “Given value for from_user field is not valid” when saving. And we’re unable to add the record.In another instance, which is in the same IFS version, 25.2.4, it works without issues.The error is checking for the web user and raise the error. Is there a limitation on setting up broadcast messages, depending on how the user is set up in IFS?Thank you.

Hi all, Can someone help me understanding the difference beween below settings on the IAL Config?Use Live Data = always running live and showing all data, and Copy All Data you can schedule but still showing all as available til that particular schedule date?Copy Only New Data: Only adds changed data? Or also updated data?
