HCM (Human Capital Management, Payroll)

When creating an employee in IFS Cloud the field Assignment becomes mandatory. This is not really applicable to subcontractors. Any advice?

Hi all,I am trying to add half day as an absence. My aim is from 27/10/2025 to 31/10/2025 in total 3.5 days annual leave. 28/10/2025 is half day and 29/10/2025 is public holiday.So first of all I defined a new day type as HALF-HOL which has 3.75 hours working. Then I add the date 28/10/2025 as half day to my substitute schedule. After that, I also match the substitute and my main regular cycle schedule.​​​​​​However, when I register the absence from 27/10/2025 to 31/10/2025, it ends up with 4 days but my aim is 3.5 days. It process well with the whole day holiday but not the half day. What am I missing?  

Hi Community! I have an issue with hald-day Vacation.Following situation:I have an employee with a very flexible schedule- He/she can start his/her work beasically whereever wanted. The normal in is at 08:00, the normal our is at 16:06. That makes 7,6 hours in total. A flexible break rule is used as well as flextime balance.If the half day vacation is located in the first half of the day, then the wage code for vacation (wage code 300) is calculated correctly with a value of 3.8 hours.In this case (on date 27. June) everythin is calculated correctly. The employee works 30 min less than he has to and he gets a deduction from his flextime balance. But if the absence is located in the 2nd half of the day, the result for the absence wage code is 4.3 hours. I would expect, that it should be 3.8 hours

Hello,In IFS Applications, it is not possible to:Isolate a specific approved expense report during the payment process Pay expense reports for a single employee onlyThese limitations have been problematic in daily operations.Has this changed in IFS Cloud? More specifically: Can I exclude a specific expense report from the payment proposal? Can I choose to pay expense reports for only one employee? Any standard way to achieve this or recommended workarounds?Thank you

Hello  everyone,I want to athorize the negativ limit for one kind of absence.But when my employee want to confirm an absence whereas he can’t even though i authorize a negativ absence ( he has 2 days  in limit absence and he wants to take 3 days). Can you help me please ?

Hello, We have few employees for which the  Acquired Limit( days) field shows 0 in Absence Module. Consider Proportion has been checked at setup level.  Current version of the system is V9.While  troubleshooting  we tried to compare the data between the  employees having problems and the employees for which the acquired limit is displayed correctly and all we could find is that the start date of the employment for the ones who are ok is always first day of the month ( example: 01/12/2024) while for the others is a different date(23/07/2024). Any idea what  we are missing?   Thanks, Ioana 

Hi everyone,I’m working with IFS Cloud HCM, and I’m trying to configure a new lifecycle change using the Employment Lifecycle Change Request Configuration page.I have already created and activated a configuration entry with the correct Lifecycle Type. However, when I open the New Employment Lifecycle Change Request window, the lifecycle type I added does not appear in the Lifecycle Change Type dropdown.Has anyone encountered this issue before?Is there another setting, dependency, or limitation that controls whether a lifecycle type becomes available?Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Transfer to Payroll - assistent for travel expenses… We do not pay travel expenses directly from IFS, we transfer them to our Payroll system. The Payroll system does not upload .dat file, so we have to change format to txt.Where in the application can we adjust the file type ?

I am attempting to auto approve absence requests in IFS. When a absence request comes in it is set to “Confirmed” status. I would like for it to be changed to “Approved”. I set the “Selection” parameter that is required to change the absence request state to approved, but it seems like it is not accepting the “keyref” key for the selection value. To verify I concatenated my own “KeyRef” value that matches “keyref” shown in the screenshot below. Still I receive json invalid error message. Do you think I should raise a ticket with IFS support for this? How do you pass the keyref as the selection parameter? Dev tool capture of approved holiday request (absence request)ERROR in Workflow when passing my own concatenated KeyRef value matching keyref: java.sql.SQLException: OR

Dear Community! Is there a smart way to register partial sick leave in IFS?  For Example: the employee has 50% sick leave, the normal working time is 8,4h per day. So he/she should only work 4,2 hours per day and the rest is on sick leave.  Thank you in advance, Veronika

Hi Community,We are currently using IFS Applications 10.I would like to know the best practice for assigning items (such as laptops, mobile phones, cars, or tools) to specific employees within the system.Could you please guide me on:Which screen or logical unit is best used to assign these assets to a person? How can we view/track the list of items currently assigned to a specific employee from a single view?Any advice on the standard process for this workflow would be appreciated.Thank you.

Hibackground:The management of user rights in Apps9-10 is rather fragmented. We have internal users with employment info, external persons administered in ad and some of them mirrored in IFS, dozens of our own permission sets on top of dozens of core ones, various authorization rights for invoices and purchases, there are document access configurations and parameters in system definitions, the GDPR data definitions etc. and all of these are maintained by few support people mostly from HR, ICT ad finance so that each takes care of certain area.I do understand that our current implementation could be done in several ways and there could be some simplifications achieved. Instead of fine tuning we however need to reach a whole new level of simplicity and automation to help speed up the entry/exit processes of employees and keep data and permissions more up-to-date without so much manual work as now. We need to be faster and provide constant high quality. This needs

Does IFS APPS10 or Cloud support UK payroll either natively or by 3rd party?Customer is looking for a replacement for their current Cascade system for HR. Please advise.

Hello,What is the proper way to setup a 9/80 schedule in IFS Cloud?  I have setup a 14-day cycle schedule with M-Th 9 hrs. per day.  Fridays alternate between 8 hrs. and day off.  To stay in compliance with overtimes rules in the US, the work week for non-exempt (hourly) employees has to be 40 hours.  That being said, the work week has to end mid-day (12pm) Friday.  How does one split the work week mid-day in IFS Cloud?Thanks,

I’m wondering if anyone on here has experience with using the Employee Expense function in IFS Cloud and what are the pros/cons of it? My company is currently using a third party employee expense reporting platform and we have to manually enter each individual expense report into IFS for payment once it is reviewed and approved by their manager. Hoping we can streamline this to save time as we are a growing company each year.Some questions that I have related to the Employee Expense function include:Would employees that need to submit an expense report have an exclusive login that is directly for the Employee Expense function ONLY or would they need regular access to IFS Cloud to get in and submit expenses? Not all of our employees have a need that they require access to our ERP system. How does the submission of travel receipts work (i.e. airfare tickets, meals from restaurants, hotel, etc.)? Are employees able to attach images to their expense reports?

I’m working on an outbound REST integration in IFS Cloud using the DELETE method, where the parameters must be sent in the XML body rather than the URL. When I send the request, the application message fails with a 400 Bad Request.The receiving team confirmed there’s no issue with the XML content, but their logs show an empty body. To verify, I connected a file sender to the routing rule, and the XML is generated correctly there.I’m wondering if IFS middleware or any proxy might be removing the XML for DELETE requests. I checked the F1 documentation, but couldn’t find any explicit limitation; examples only show DELETE with parameters in the URL.Has anyone tried sending XML in a DELETE request in IFS or seen this behavior?

Hi everyone,I’m hoping someone with experience in the Data Anonymisation functionality of IFS Cloud can help.We’re trying to implement Data Anonymisation Policies within our IFS installation. The goal is straightforward: configure rules so that, for example, data is anonymised and/or removed five years after an employee leaves the organisation.I can set up personal data attributes and define anonymisation actions, but I’m struggling to figure out how to apply a policy like this to make it work end-to-end.Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,We’re currently looking into whether it’s possible to add additional fields to the Safety Incidents wizard in IFS Cloud (versions 24R2 or 25R1). Our goal is to capture a few extra data points during the incident reporting process. For example - We would like to bring the damages section into the wizard as a new step.Is wizard customization supported in these versions? If yes, what’s the recommended approach? If not, are there any workarounds or best practices for achieving similar functionality?Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I’m wondering if someone could help.We have multiple companies setup within IFS. Only one of them currently uses the application to complete the pension contributions for their employees. We’re wanting to setup another company to use the standard pension contributions within IFS (X% employee and X% employer contributions) which uses qualifying earnings (all monthly pensionable pay between £X-£X) to calculate pension contributions.How do we set this up? I’ve checked a lot of documentation but can’t seem to suss it.ThanksR

Hi Community! I always try to share my knowledge about calculation formulas within the HCM Module, but this time I have a question. I learned the hard way that there can only be a limited number of functions between an IF and an ENDIF function. But is there also a limit of the total amount of functions within a single calculation formula? I try to explain by using an extreme example:I have a calculation formula with 500 steps (Ifs, end ifs, Additions, Muliplications, Get Wage codes and so on and so on). Now the first 300 steps work perfectly fine (they are responsible for the calculation for a month with 31 days). From 301 to 500 are responsible for basically the same calculation but for a month with 30 days. When I have all steps active the calculation for the month with 31 days works perfectly fine but the calculation for the month with 30 days does not work at all. Now I deactivate the line
