Hi All,   I have found  blob format  as file data column in edm_file_storage_tab but I need to get file as respective file format like PDF,docs. Is there any conversion procedure there in IFS?

Afternoon all, I have come across an issue that I am sure has plagued others before. Way back in the heady days of 7.5 being implemented the business made a decision to opt out of a numerical ID system for our Person and User ID records. Instead we opted for <First Initial><Surname> e.g. NTAYLOR. The problem we have is that one of our users got married and now the Person ID and User ID do not reflect her now taken name and has asked if we can update the Person ID/User ID to correctly reflect her new surname. As these are somewhat key fields within the system I am pretty sure there isn’t a standard way of achieving this as it would need to flush the entire system to update everything that was ever posted with these ID’s. If anyone knows of a way how to do this or (for the IFS employees) if  a data fix exists for this kind of change it would be interesting to know!   Regards Nathan

I’m looking for some advice around screens in IFS which hold global data. We’re doing a big security review at the moment so want to make sure that we’ve got data managed such that only users in particular companies can see data they’re granted access to through site / company access. Some examples of the areas where we’ve had to make considerations are: Customers [header level & address / contacts], we’re managing this through CRM (we set groups up for each company basically) IALs, we reviewed all the IALs we’ve built in the system to ensure they only point to data for the relevant company Report Archive, we discovered there’s a permission set which a number of users have which allows them to view all reports printed (we’ve since revoked this) Employment Informaiton / People Finder & Suppliers, we’ve accepted these as being global screens but are happy that there isn’t much sensitive data here so minimal level of concern

We upgraded to Apps 10 last October.  I have a user using sticky notes on Time Card Day.  Now in 10 the note will appear and you can type in it, etc…, but when you leave the page the note is gone.  I do not believe it is a permissions isssue as she can use the notes on other screens and the same thing happens when I am logged in as App Owner.  Any one else run into this?

Is there away to create users from a template or to copy from an existing user?Our current process of creating users is very manual and time consuming, if we could copy a user who does the same role or create templates for each role it would be a lot better. Any help or advise anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi,We are on Apps 9 - looking for a way to log users out of the system and then lock them out. Except for a limited number of Senior Finance users. We have an Release to apply so do not want any accidental transactions occurring.

Hi All, We have objversion in most of the IFS Views with below conversion, ltrim(lpad(to_char(rowversion,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS'),2000)). Is there any specific reason for converting the date field of rowversion. Please share if anyone has valid reason about it.   Regards, Sri

Hi, we have an issue where we want to use document attachments for expenses. The users who will need to be able to view the attachment is the employee the expense sheet has been created for, the employees manager and an administration team. Generally the employee is inputting the attachment so will automatically get permission to see the document, adding an administrative team is easy but how can I get the employees line manager to view the document without opening the document up to multiple other users?ThanksHelen

At the moment, am pulling either the user screen and using one in summary mode to copy from and check the permissions set on the new user. I have tried the grant permission set to user grid, and even that can be cumbersome. Is there an easier way to do this I am missing?   Thansk

Regarding customer request reported via G2350213In the employee record is it possible to change the Emp ID or Person ID. When someone changes their name we may need to change their Person ID. There are situations where an employee ID may need to change. Is there a way to easily update these fields?

Hello All, Can anyone advise how we could control access to the report archive screen/data by site / company? At present any user can print/view any report from report archive screen regardless of this access, this is posing a potential security threat as our organisation is made up of multiple companies. We’ve tried revoking access to report archive activity, however that meant the user could not print any reports as a result. Please advise.

Hello,   We are in the process of setting up expense management and we have a few issues due to the way our organisation works. For example, we have the following structure: 1.Worker ​​​​​​​2.Leader 3.Project Manager 4.Area Manager   If the Worker does an expense sheet, the Leader approves it and Project Manager authorizes it. If the Leader does an expense sheet, the Project Manager approves it and the Area Manager authorizes it and so on. So the same person can either be an approver or an authorizer depending on the person who places the expense sheet. As we assign a rule attribute to a position, we are struggling to see how we could do it. I tried to add an expense_status from Confirmed to Approved to the EXP_AUTH but I am not allowed to do that as it already exists in EXP_APP. If anybody can help, it would be appreciated.   Many thanks,   Anne-Sophie

I did simple IAL and deployed it..When I try to select * from ifsinfo.Get_Total_Additional_Hours - I get the below error..   IFSINFO has access to all other IAL tables.. so that isn’t a problem here I guess. Below is the IAL that was deployed..   Any idea what am I missing ? Regards,Rajesh.N

When I try to authorize my employees, I got the error 'Access Denied. You cannot authorize records within Time Pers Diary logical unit.'. I used TIME_PERS_DIARY_AUTH attribute in my access role.

Hello IFS Community! I am a new starter within my organisation and I have worked with other ERP’s, however it’s a new experience trying out IFS and understanding it. My question may be very simple for you experts, what determines Employee File → Summary tab → Supervisor field? I suspect that it has to be either: Graphical Organization Structure or Graphical Position Structure, I struggle to clearly understand difference between the two. Please share your knowledge, and if any online resource available it would be great start for me. Kind Regards Arthur

We have IFS 9The following picture shows the organizational structure that I have created.present, faultyEmployee A03 is in the DEP_10000 department. Employee A04 is in the DEP_11000 department. DEP_11000 is a subdepartment of DEP_10000. Employee A03 is the manager of the DEP_11000 department. In this way, the manager of the A04 employee is the A03 employee.I could not implement this structure in the organizational chart.And I'm just at the beginning. For example; 3 of the 5 employees in a department have subordinate departments, 2 of them have no subordinate departments. There are many such structures. But I couldn't find the problem and solve the logic. Can you help me? It can happen in 2 ways as follows.
