Hi, We are using a custom application to fill timesheet. When I try to retrieve data for current month I first run Prepare_Week__ procedure (I don’t have any clue of what this function is doing has there is NOT documentation on it) and then I retrieve work string PREPAREWEEK_QUERY = "&AO.Timman_Job_Trans_API.Prepare_Week__(:COMPANY_ID, :EMP_ID, :WEEK_START, :WEEK_END, 0, :SESSION_ID);";FndPLSQLCommand cmdPrepW = new FndPLSQLCommand(_connection, PREPAREWEEK_QUERY);// [...]prepareWeekCollection.Add(cmdPrepW);FndPLSQLSelectCommand cmdSelect= new FndPLSQLSelectCommand(_connection, GET_WORK_QUERY);// [...]workCollection.Add(cmdSelect);The connection is still the same, those lines are in loop for each week in a month.I created two FndPLSQLCommandCollection variable, one for prepareWeek and the other for the select command. Once the collections are full I Invoke  prepareWeekCollection and the other one. I get an error on the work collection :Ifs.Fnd.FndTransactionIdMismatchException : 'Th

We are experiencing problems with the IFS Time Clock Client.   A few of our users have reported seeing the following message when they went to the Time Clock Terminal   System Exception Error object reference not set to an instance of an object Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider.PLSQL.FndPLSQLSelectCommandReader.get_count() At Ifs.Fnd.AccessProvider.PLSQL.FndPLSQLSelectCommandReader.FndPLSQLSelectCommandReaderEnumerator.System.Collections.IEnumerator.MoveNext() We stopped Automatic Windows Updates months ago as we thought that this could have been the issue.   Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Hi, I've got a question with regard to IFS Aurena. In the time registration UI, in the side bar of the list of employees, the employee's name is not visible on each list item. However, an icon is visible denoting the initials of the employee. Is the is the default behaviour? How can I make the names visible? I also noticed the same behaviour in other UIs such as expenses to manage. That's why I'm uncertain if I have set up the system correctly. Can you give some hints to fix this?

Hi, we would like to be able to enter time cards on behalf of other employees.We know already how to do it if we are in the same project team. But how to do the same if we are NOT in the same project team? We systematically get this error message: “You are not allowed to enter Project Time/Cost Reporting for this Employee of company XXX.I guess there could be a way via Access Attribute, but i can’t figure out what should be changed to grant this right.Thanks to help if you have any clue ...

Hello I am trying to create a new employee in a test environment and keep getting the below error.I can create the employee manually and all works ok. The new starter wizard must be calling an api that has a restriction on it but the error message is not helpful in telling what access is missing. has anybody else come across this issue? i can solve it by giving hr application manager permission but i don't want to do that at this stage   I am using Apps 10 update 9   

Hello IFS community, we have some users where the weeknumbering in 2021 starts with weekno. 2 (jan.4th) instead of weekno. 1.  I have checked the Windows settings on the pc but that is the same as users who have a correct weeknumbering.  Can it be, some users are connected to a wrong calender and if so, how can change that ?

Hi All,Anyone who has come across the below error when creating Expense from Credit Card Transactions? Best Regards,Dharshankumaar.

Hi Is anyone aware or know if IFS APPS 10 has the availability of a Self Certification /Return to Work form or what does everyone else use in IFS for this sort of sickness recording.   

Hi, We are currently using Apps 9, update 17.  We are getting the below error message when categorising a refund credit card transaction to the Expense Code 1043 - Recharges. The Recharge Code has 20% VAT/TAX assigned to it. If we choose an Expense Code that has zero rated VAT then we do not get an error message and the refund can be categorised successfully.Things to note:We are a UK User and the 20% is standard rated VAT The transaction is in USD We can categorise transactions in USD that are not refunds e.g. $20 for web domain We have the same issue with euro transactions and the same error message appears Please can somebody advise why this is occurring and how it can be resolved.  Thank youJonathan  

Hello, I am having a issue that I have not experienced before and was hoping somebody else has solved this.Customer is on Apps10 update 9  When we attempted to alter an employees schedule (either with the wizard or manually) we keep getting the below access issue   The only way we can alter the schedule is if we give the (employee that is making the change) HR manager permission(HR application manager). However this is not realistic as this needs to be updated my managers that do not need this permission set. Does anybody know what access attribute covers the working schedules? I can then build it in a access role. Thanks   

Is there a diffrenece between alerts, notifications and system messages in Aurena?

At present the Time Management module is not used in my place of work for registering absences/sick days etc. We use a separate web-based software for this but are planning to import the records into IFS and use that for registering absences from now on. I plan to do this by adding all the imported records into the “Absence Registration” tab of the “Absence” screen. A new group has already been added to the Absence Configuration screen. This is then used as the “Absence Type” when the individual records are added to the Absence Registration tab.I don’t know if I need to do anything else, if there is someone who has set this up or the first time maybe they could tell me if I am missing something. I may not be performing all the steps required.Thank you.

For a survey in Apps9, the customer would like to present a list of 10 items and have the survey respondents rank their top 5 items in order of importance.  For example: Please rank from 1-5 where 1 is most important 5 of the options below for why you use this forum:Ease of useKnowledge of ParticipantsSpeed of answerQuality of answerUp to date informationOnly place I know to find the answerWillingness of participants to helpI find I can provide answersIt was suggested to me by a colleague I trustAccess to IFS experts both from IFS and the wider community So - the respondent would need to rank their top 5 of these answers.  I know I can set multiple choice with 5 answers, but this will just allow them to select 5, rather than to rank them - is there a way to rank or provide weight to the answers, please? Thank you in advanceClaire 

Hello, From the 2021 Payroll update, we have had countless issues but the one that we have been unable to fix is the tax code uplift via the constant data update.  This is specifically on the L tax codes.  When choosing the parameter T001 and value TAX(;1;9999;L) and using all active employees template, I receive a PL/SQL numerical conversion error.  I been trying to find a workaround and so I went through the employee template and it’s seems that there is a syntax issue With the the L codes parameter as all other code types work fine.  I managed to get the employees by using TAX(%;1;9999;L) which works but when creating a proposition to uplift it give a weird error about the field [used] has an incorrect value.Has anyone also had this?  

Hello,  I want to create a temporary account in IFS. Can I set a fixed expiration date? So the account becomes unusable by the end of the month for example? thanks in advance

Hi  We are looking to start managing our employee benefits in IFS. PMI and health care seems straight forward but Company Cars and vehicles I'm unsure how to do this. what is the usual way to achieve this in IFS? The same for Management of Vans and vehicles not assigned to employees. We are starting to use the maintenance/engineering module, is it best to just have them as an object? any help would be greatly appreciated    thanks  Nick 

Hello, Anyone loaded absences externally. Do i need to load absence limits prior that?  

When we submit an expense sheet, we can select a project activity and respective Code part postings. However, when we give an advance using the employee payments window the only option available is to tag it to the employees attached organization codes pre-posted code part.Anyone having a solution to give an employee payment selecting custom code parts. (simply need to tag the advance to a project the employee is travelling for).

I now have user pictures associated with the Person info.The picture size is 844 x 1055 pixels and by default the user picture looks zoomed out (see below)I will have to manually right click on the image and Scale - Size to fit  , to see the full picture. My question is, is there an way to set the Size to fit option by default ? or is there any option to edit the user pictures in bulk (i.e. modify the picture size in bulk)
