I am trying to set up the credit card integration for expense reporting. The default File_Reader1 is taking in the file when it’s place in the in directory  but then it does not appear in credit card transactions or any logs I can find. I feel like I’m missing a step as there is nothing to tell the system that this import is a credit card file. 

Good evening,I am looking for information on the Job Details field on the Time Registration screen, Grid View.It appears that it cannot be edited.It also appears that it only shows Project Report Codes details.I tried entering information in multiple field on the Work Order Task, but nothing appeared in the Job Details.Can anyone confirm this? I also looked for a relevant property in the Company Details, but could not find one that appears to enable editing the Job Details. Thank you. Lorenzo

I have a Terminated some employees using Terminate Employment functionality of IFS APP9, but despite following the process some employees are still being reflected in Organization Chart. I am not able to sort out reason behind. Anybody who can help? Screen grabs are attached.

New to IFS and creating an integration (in Boomi) to create new employees into both IFS9 and IFS10. My understanding is that IFS10 can use projections while IFS9 must still use Soap webservices. Currently working on IFS 10 and needing to create a new employee and have a few questions.Is EmployeesHandling the correct projection for this task?If it is correct, why doesn’t the projection separate First, middle, and last names? (seems odd)during testing, I was only sending over a name (nothing else) and I received the error message:{  "error": {    "code": "ODP_ILLEGAL_STATE",    "message": "Unable to fulfill the request due to unexpected server state."  }}Is there a way on the IFS side to get a better understanding of what the error message is related to? I’d assume I could be missing some fields but wish I had a better response to diagnose the actual error. Thanks in ad

Hi,When generating limit year, initial value field is not available to enter if we use Carried Forward Absence type.  However, sometimes for some employees it is other way around that allows a Carry Forward absence type to limit generate but it does not allow normal absence type to limit generate where initial value field is blank. What is the logic behind? Why ‘Carry forward type’ some times allows to enter initial value field and sometimes not allow? Where to fix it?Please advise. Thanks in advanceRegardsNimesh

I have created a Safety Cert, ticked the Safety Cert box, and added to the Course Specification.  When I run the event it update the Course on the Employee File, but not the Safety Cert on the Employee File., nor does it go on the Safety Certs screen unless I add manually on the Employee File.  Am I missing a piece of set up or does it just not do this? Any help appreciated. 

In the employment information (path: Human Capital Management / HCM Services / Employee Management / Employee File / Employment Information / Periods) you can see the section Period Details.In that section, there are two date ranges: Start Date and End Date (representing the current employment period) and the Employment Start Date and Employment End Date (representing the start date of the earliest employment period and the end date of the last employment period).Apart from that, the section Period Details is showing Degree of Occupation and Current Degree of Occupation. With regard to these two fields, I’ve got two questions:Why is the Current Degree of Occupation not shown on the same level as the current employment period (Start Date and End Date)? Which (overall?) Degree of Occupation is shown when the degree of occupation has changed in the course of time, i.e. when there are several employment periods with different degrees of occupa
