Hi all,Do you use Employee Selection Groups ?How to update the employees assigned to them ?It is possible to create Employee Selection Groups on the page: /main/ifsapplications/web/page/EmployeeSelectionGroup/List;path=0.985058153.1320681539.1213741080.78114610.836883027.277183867It is possible to assign an employee to an Employee Selection Group when creating the employee.The Employee Selection Groups can be used in the filters on the HR projections.But, it's impossible to assign an existing employee to an Employee Selection Group.Just as it's impossible to modify the employees assigned to an Employee Selection Group.Which projection allows modifying the employees assigned to Employee Selection Groups?Which view accessible via DataMig contains this information?Regards,Mickaël

Hi everyone,I’m looking for feedback from IFS Cloud users on how you manage employee claims for cents per kilometer. Are you primarily using the Expense module for this, or have you configured an approach within the Timecard that integrates seamlessly with payroll alongside other timecard transactions? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Emilly BarkerProject Quantum Test Lead - HCMQuanta Services Australia

Hello,after 25R1 installation we have issue with unprocessed travel requests (change of status for example) because newly added fields with time zone. On client value is displayed but not in table/view. How this can be easily solved?Thanks.Tomas 

Version: IFS Cloud 23R2 Employee is having valid schedule. Absence Type MDL001 is configured as ‘Calendar Days’When applying this leave for half day (with either First half or Second half), it is doing wrong calculation.It is calculating Absence Duration as 0.17 Calendar Days, however it should be 0.5 days. Employee schedule is 8 hours; however system is doing calculation based on 4 hours/ 24 hours = 0.1666 days. There is another absence ‘Annual Vacation’ which is configured as ‘Working Days’, for that system is calculating half day leave correctly.The issue is happening when Absence is configured based on ‘Calendar Days’.Anyone has any idea about this issue? Please provide resolution, if you are aware.ThanksVikas Jain

Hello IFS Community,I hope this message finds you well.I am currently working on implementing a structured Employee Performance and Evaluation process within our IFS environment (Cloud 24R1). The goal is to establish a clear workflow that includes both employee self-assessments and Supervisor Assessments, ultimately leading to a consolidated performance review.I am looking for guidance or sample documents from anyone who has successfully configured this. Specifically, I am trying to find or create a complete set of: Configuration Guide/Checklist: A step-by-step guide on the necessary setups within IFS Applications. Data Model / Table Structure: Understanding the key tables involved (e.g., PERFORMANCE_REVIEW, PERF_ASSESSMENT_QUESTION, PERF_RATING_SCALE). Sample Workflow Definition: How the approval and notification workflow between the employee and supervisor is configured. Sample Assessment Forms: The structure for the questionnaire used in both self and supervisor evaluations. C

Hello,how do I set up the automatic conversion of annual leave entitlement from e.g. 25 days to entitlement for an employee who started on 1 September, i.e. to automatically reduce the entitlement according to the start date? Thank you 

After terminating and subsequently rehiring an employee, users encounter the error “Employee is not valid” when attempting to report time transactions. Additionally, the employee does not appear as an available option under the Assignee field in work tasks.What could be causing this issue? Could you please advise?

My company uses team structure, and currently has Priority to Team and Supervisor Setup and access is based on Team and Supervisor Setup, I would like the HR team members to access all employees and be able to approve and authorize employee time,  I can add their records as indirect supervisor under Supervisor section of Employee file and give access but there are around 1000 employees, Is there are any other ways to do it easily?

Hi everyone,While I’m trying to register an absence, I get an error message as below: “ORA-20105: AbsenceLimitUsed.ABSLIMITPROPERROR: Absence limit IZ001 which was allocated is greater than current absence limit.”The employees’ base limit is IZ001 which is 20 days, and all previous unused day absence type is IZ020 and it is 170 days. (Which is an absence type that also carry-forward)  What am I missing? A parameter or is it about period? Thanks

What is the process in the cloud for doing an upload? I only have the step-by-step instructions for it.

Hi,We have a problem in IFS Cloud (recreated in both 24R1 and 24R2) when it comes to automatically creation of normal time by the background job “Generate Timrep Intervals and Hours”  in combination with increments (or overtime or other time reportings) already reported before the day is handled by the background job. It works as expected/requested for employees with time base “Generated results” but not for employees with time base “Generated clockings”. This creates an issue when an employee has for example planned stand-by-time (increment) that is registered for a future day (a day that has not been handled by the background job yet). When the day is handled by the background job, it does not create normal time if there’s already any time reports on that day (if employee has time type “Generated clockings”). In IFS 10, the normal time is being automatically created in the same case (i.e employee has time base “generated clockings” and increment/other time is registered beforehand). 

Dear All In our CFG enviornment, when the multi company employee registers his hours on the project activity, MCPR information [highlighted in red below] is filled automatically, but in UAT not. I compared the properties related to MCPR and the project setup parameters including the default link 1:1 on both the environments. Everything seem the same. Is there anything I missed whereby the MCPR information is not fetched automatically?  Thanks,Asela

This is from 24R2: When I use the “Copy Expense Sheet” function and change the “from date” on the copy, which is a normal thing to do for a repeating expense claim or travel, the Expense Rule is nulled and I end up with a new travel expense without expense rule! It is not possible to change the expense rule in the copy process.This is when none of my 4 expense rules are marked as default. If I set one rule to be default, the default rule is chosen when I copy an expense sheet, but this could easily be wrong and I have to remember to change expense rule when the copy is created, to be able to use the correct expense codes etc.I want my copy to have the same expense rule as the original in the first place, is that possible?Regards, Dag Example: At this point I have just changed the date from July to October, and the Expense Rule field is emptied: 

Hi, Is it possible to enter time recording per day instead of hours ? For example, I report 0.5 day or 0.25 day.It is to do project time reporting and avoid confusions with working hours ? Thanks and Regards,Anne-Sophie

The Person id was incorrectly provided while creating the Employee file.Is it possible to make changes to the created person record( change the person id) or do we need to terminate the employee and start over again?

Hello,I’m working with contractors who record their hours directly in IFS. They have been set up as contractors, with “Invoices by Supplier” enabled at the employee-category level.My questions are:How can I reconcile the hours they have clocked against the purchase orders to which they are assigned?What is the best practice for recording and posting the supplier invoices for those clocked hours?Any guidance, recommended configuration steps or pointers to relevant IFS documentation would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help! 

Hi All, I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for Time Clock hardware?  We are upgrading from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud and will no longer be using our Kaba solution.  We have investigated Time Clock and are happy with the way it functions, but are unsure of how to implement something robust for our users. For example, I assume we will need a tablet with a built in card reader that essentially never times out that requires no interaction from the user other than a card swipe.  Does anyone have any success stories to share or recommendations for us? Many thanks, Scott

Hi all, Quick question regarding changes to the base salary. In previous IFS versions (Apps 9 for example) it was possible to change the base salary using an amount or a percentage. In Cloud the percentage option is no longer available on the compensation page. It is only available for compensation types other than the base salary and is then calculated off the base salary.The only other option to increase the base salary using a percentage is by using the Salary Planning Review functionality. Some of my customers do not want to use this though (for various reasons).How is everyone handling this now? Are you using the new functionality or are you customising this?

We use Expenses in IFS Apps 10 Aurena and are moving to IFS Cloud.  The Add Transactions section has the option to copy object rows - but you cannot seem to paste them anywhere in the Transactions Section?  I cannot understand why IFS would provide the Copy option, if you cannot then Paste.  Am I missing something or have IFS just forgotten to finish this process?  Or was it in the too difficult section? Any advice would be welcome.Thanks Trudy 

There is a scenario where we need to setup prorated leave balance for PTO.Amount of days received is prorated based on when you start. January – March : receive 3 days PTOApril – June :  receive 2 days PTOJuly – September : receive 1 day PTOOctober – December : receive 0 days PTO

Our customer is going to use TimeClock in IFS and would like to know if we have a preferred clocking system for IFS Cloud as they have to buy a new system. 

Good morning.  I am not seeing the Organisation Tree for Employees in the Supervisor Access Setup window.  What could be the reason for this?  I did “uncheck” the fields at the top e.g Only Supervised Organisations.  Thank you.

Hello IFS Community, Can someone please explain to me how the Absence Limit Details work?  I would like to be able to accrue vacation absences every 2 weeks.  I thought the settings below would do that, but it is not working. When I generate the limits, I get the full year no matter the hire date and accrual time of the employee. This is the Employee File Here is the Absence Limit Year that I used to generate the balances This is the result How do you get IFS to accrue a partial year?  Specifically, 2 weeks at a time? Thanks,

Hi,This is an issue within the IFS Cloud Ventechi Pre-sales env that IFS allow their partners to use.We have a demo on the 18th Sept, the feature below was working 2 weeks ago.I have asked IFS support about the issue below, but they have said that they cannot help me with any IFS Pre-sales env related issues.The issue isWhen trying to use the “Quick Expense Reporter” part of IFS Cloud to create an expense record, connect the scanned in receipt to the expense record and use the scanned in data (OCR) to populate the IFS Expense sheet with data. In the IFS Cloud Ventechi Pre-sales environment we get a warning saying "Warning - unable to extract detail from the receipt at this time. Enter expense details manually".The stage in the process where the warning message is displayed, is when we are performing the step called "Scan a Receipt".Has anyone got any experience of seeing a Warning message like the one above in the IFS Cloud Ventechi environment please?If anyone has any suggestions, ple

Hi Community!We are seeking guidance on best practices for managing cases where a company employs individuals with protected personal information, such as name, address, and similar data. While it is necessary to store details such as address and personal identity number within the system, access to this information needs to be restricted to a limited number of authorized users.I’ve been looking in to Personal Data Management (not fully), but we don’t want to anonymize completely..This situation is not very common but occurs occasionally -  in Sweden at least. Could someone please advise on recommended approaches or share how other customers have successfully approached these kind of situations? Best regards, Anna
