Hi Community, Please can someone provide me with the PL/SQL or C# code to upload or check in a document into IFS APP10. Thanks very much in advance.

Hello, We are currently using IFS Apps 8 document management extensively for holding different types of documents. These include for example building surveys, drawings, supplier quotes and Supplier Invoices to name a few. There are operational dependant documents and reference documents both stored in IFS currently. Documents are linked to Objects in IFS such as Work Orders, Serial/Functional Objects, Purchase Orders and Supplier Invoices. Also worth mentioning that we use Mobile work orders for our engineers, so as part of this specific documents are transferred to the mobile devices. We already use Microsoft Teams and SharePoint and the business like the look & feel of SharePoint over IFS. Also the accessibility of SharePoint to all employees over IFS is another factor. Another driver is the ability to have one location for documents related to specific assets/objects which can be easily searched upon through a user friend interface. Again SharePoint comes out onto of IFS for this. T

Hi, We would like to use SMS gateway to send some notification from IFS ERP System to the end users by SMS. For example, Purchase Order waiting for your approval. Is it possible ? Does any one had a chance working with such configuration ?

Hi Community, I am in the process of setting permissions. I created one permission and granted “Voucher Entry” access but when user try to access that window, IFS throw an error calling “CURRENCY_RATE_API” must be declared. However after digging the error, I realized if I grant Activities → AccessPlsql permission that error doesn’t appear and user can do the transaction. Can someone explain what does this permission do and Is there any other thing to do without granting this access ?

Has anyone gone through this install process? I’m still waiting on IFS to get me the files (I have heard nothing from them for weeks) but really need to get this moving. Any tips? I’ve heard the install can be tricky. Does this module require a separate purchase?

Is there any way to modify the default “order by” clause in the enterprise application?

Hi We are potentially looking at creating labels from software called Zebra designer, which integrates with IFS APPS8. Zebra Designer creates an .RPL file which is stored within IFS. When the option of the label is selected to print it will pull most of the information onto the label from IFS where 80% of the label information will stored here such as; Part Numbers and Descriptions from “Master Part” Lot Numbers from “Shop Order” On the label we will also have symbols such as CLP symbols i.e. Hazard warning symbols, CE Mark symbols and Temperature symbols and we are not aware of any screen that this can be stored in. Can anybody shed some light on this and where this can be stored within IFS and what screen so when the label is printed it also pulls the symbols? The content of the label in terms of symbols will be part dependant, so this will vary from Part to Part. Many thanks Ravi

Hi, We currently have multiple companies set up in IFS. I am able to view the GL Balance Analysis for the main company, but am unable to view it for the other companies. It gives me the ‘Information Message’ saying No data found. I can access the session in all the companies, but am only able to generate data from the main company and not the others. I’m guessing this might be some permission that is not set up properly? Our system administrator doesn’t know where to look to grant me access. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Lawrence

Hi, I have used plsqlap_server_api.post_outbound_bizapi to build an XML message to send to the OUT1 queue. The Application message generates the problem is on processing it can’t find my routing rule. I have used the condition of MESSAGE_FUNCTION must equal BIZAPI name, I have occurrences where it errors and says Bizapi not found in your application and some times it will process with an address but not display the routing rule where used. Is there a cache of some description that holds previous routing rule and address values they don't appear to be working everytime I update routing rules. Many Thanks,

Hi guys, I have a question about permission set.I created a new method, and after refreshing the dictionary i found that this method has been added in serveal permission sets.Could you please tell me why is it granted? Thank you!

Hi All, We’ve recently put Web Lobby onto Apps9 - Via the web lobby log in I am able to view all the lobbies that have been created prior to IFS deploying this software - however I get page unavailable when I try and open a lobby that I have created since. The lobby is there listed on the web lobby view, so I can click on it to navigate to this lobby view but I then get the message Page Unavailable. The address is the same for the lobby page in the web lobby view and the application, so I believe it is trying to locate the correct lobby page, therefore I assume (maybe incorrectly) that it is a permission issue. However, I have gone back and checked the permission sets on all the data elements presentation objects, design elements presentation objects and the lobby page presentation object and all are there and have myself listed as a user granted access. Is there somewhere else I need to set so that it is visible via the web lobby view? Thanks for reading and hopefully I will get some

We have a requirement to embed a 2D barcode (PDF417) in a Crystal Quick report. The barcode will need to be dynamically created from data in IFS e.g. part number, lot batch, expiry date, analysis results etc. I’m not sure if this is even possible or how you would go about it. Hoping somebody on here has experience of implementing a similar requirement.

Hello, Trying to access the IFS Monitoring Console for both App9 and App10 in internal environments and when you go to the database side, all the tabs are empty except Database Parameters tab. Following keeps showing on the developer console in chrome when you open the tabs. Checked the tabs in IFS Applications and Middleware Server areas and they are showing okay and are giving the status code of 200. If you copy the Requested URL and paste it on a tab, you should see the response but when I do that here, i get a 404 Not Found error. Has anyone experienced this behavior before? Any idea what could cause it?

Hi, I am trying to install CrystalWebService_64bit setup for using Crystal Report after configure IIS 10 on Windows Server 2016 (1607) OS Build 14393.3564, but it’s not allow to install setup for Virtual Directory on IIS.

It is possible to create an external link to a document folder, e.g. https://<landing_page_url>/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application?url=ifsapf%3AfrmFolderInfo%3Faction%3Dget%26key1%3D1234567%26COMPANY%3D1 That link will open the Document Folder Navigator with the selected folder (key1=1234567) as root folder. The Folder Details to the right is showing the information for that particular folder. My question: Is it possible to get a link to a folder that selects one of the subfolders in the shown folder tree to the left and shows the information for that subfolder in the Folder Details to the right?

It is possible to create an external link to an engineering part, e.g. https://<landing_page_url>/client/runtime/Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application?url=ifsapf%3AfrmEngineeringPart%3Faction%3Dget%26key1%3D12345678%255E1.0%26COMPANY%3D1 That link will open the Engineering Part Navigator with the selected part (12345678) with the specified engineering revision (1.0). My question: Is it possible to create a link to a selected Engineering Part at the latest revision? And maybe also to the latest released revision? For documents it is possible, but what about engineering parts?

We’re seeing 2 emails being sent to customers for every customer invoice that is printed using the Bulk Print Customer Invoice mechanism, in Apps10 UPD5. Each email has an invoice PDF attached with identical content but each file has a separate filename (e.g. Invoice_0001.pdf and Invoice_0004.pdf). This makes sense as to why 2 emails are being sent since it looks like 2 PDF files are being created for every invoice. So the question is why is it generating 2 PDF files for each invoice when printing invoices using the Batch Print Customer Invoices screen? Any ideas or has anyone out there seen similar? We were originally using the Print/Send option but even with Print Only it still generates 2 PDFs and therefore 2 emails. Any help appreciated! Thanks, Nick

Is there any guide to install and manage statspacks on a customer environment to retrieve the performance information?

I have an IAL that I want to duplicate in another IFS system. I do not have access to the original source. Does anyone have suggestions how I can extract the IAL and copy it to my other IFS system? Both are IFS8 running Oracle 12c.

Is there any information to find about how to move an IFS database from Windows Oracle to a Linux Oracle database server?

Our customer is considering changing the platform using IFS Applications from on-premises to OracleVMServer. So could you tell me the case of using IFS Applications on OracleVMServer? - Whether IFS Applications works on OracleVMServer - Whether there are limitations when using IFS Applications on OracleVMServer - etc

Hi All, Seems quick report SQL does not allow DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE. Error Message: Forbidden PLSQL code rejected: "DBMS_RANDOM" FNDSQLFORBIDDEN: Forbidden PLSQL code rejected: "DBMS_RANDOM" Is there an alternate to get a random value in a quick report? Cheers!

Hi, I asked this question on openIFS in November. Now openIFS seems obsolete, so I try here. I wonder whether we could introduce fourth layer next to CORE, EXT, CUST in order to allow modifying the PL/SQL packages by the customer. Assuming the customizations would be done carefully, they would survive upgrades to new UPDATE. For the moment I have created new component and I created some procedures which are executed as scheduled tasks. It would be sometimes convenient to modify the logic in some areas specific to our needs. Asking IFS for doing the customizations is much slower. What do you think ? Regards, Marek
