Hi all,After the latest Windows May update, some users are no longer able to log into IFS Apps 9. They are receiving an error stating that the login service is unavailable. After some investigation, we found that this is caused by Microsoft's hardening of Kerberos Authentication. We are currently in the process of migrating to IFS Cloud, but we still need to use Apps 9 until January 2027.We managed to temporarily resolve the issue by adding a registry key, but this workaround will only work until the June update. After that, we either have to find a permanent fix or stop installing updates.Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so, how did you fix it? The only long-term solution we can think of is creating a new account and a new keytab file, and then reconfiguring IFS Apps 9 to use them. If anyone has an easier workaround, we would love to hear it!
Does anyone know if it's possible to link the IFS database to Microsoft Fabric?https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/database/mirrored-database/open-mirroringWe're currently using the self hosted bi, but I can't say that's a perfect solution so we're looking for better alternatives.

We have a Boomi integration that runs Shop Orders from MES to IFS that we are migrating from IFS APP10 to Cloud. The issue that we are having is from creating and completing the Manual Inventory Receive. Our Boomi integration worked correctly in APP10 but now shows that it is successful in Boomi while IFS does not receive any Inventory. Our IFS Connector in Boomi for creating the uses ReceiveShopOrderHandling as the projection and Reference_InventoryReceipt as the object. It seems that the Reference_InventoryReceipt object is outdated and I have been attempting to replace it with ReceiveShopOrderSet->InventoryReceiptArray as that is what I see being used in logs when going through the Manual Inventory Receive process in IFS Cloud. When trying to run the new Connector in Boomi, we get an error saying "Failed processing original documents i2i in the IFS Cloud Connection connector: java.lang.Exception: All the keys should be given as input parameters". The Objkey is being set using Bou
In IFS Cloud 24R2, when starting from a service quotation, the preposting can be added after quotation acceptance in the "Prepare Work Order" step.However, when using work task templates added in the service quotation, the tasks already exist in the flow, and the preposting from the work order header is not inherited by these tasks. As a result, preposting must be manually added to each individual task.Is there a way to resolve this issue or apply a workaround?
Hi,do you have any idea, how to implement OAuth2 Authorization Code Flow integration in IFS Aurena? We need to create integration with bank, where is only Authorization Code Flow possible (logging to account, approval in mobile app, configuration, granting priviledges, ...).At this point, I have no idea, how to prepare callbackUrl for accepting GET request with strictly defined URL parameters.Is there any manual how to prepare own SVC not depending on OData protocol?Or use something like /soapgateway to receive and store incomming GET request? Authorization Code Flow
Hello, I am hoping to find information about the add-on to Cloud for the Freight Interface and Credit Card Integration. We are currently on Apps 10 and have these extensions, but are in the first phase of Build and Verify to upgrade to Cloud (24R1) and have not yet applied them to our Cloud environments. Our partner needs additional details to support the upgrade and IFS Support has directed me to the community for answers. 1. What are the artifacts here, change to the solution set, new entities, utilities, etc under a new module, a new k8s container? From our current 24R1 solution set we don’t see anything that suggests that credit cards or freight integration is something that exists. As part of the technical upgrade process, we need to make sure that the database artifacts exist, so this is critical to the process.2. What are the supported IFS release versions? We are doing B&V on 24R1. We do plan to do a release update as part of the plan, but we need to know what the min
When we have defined some conditions in an Event action they work fine in the environment in which they were defined. But when they are exported and imported again as an ACP, (as xml files or a Zip file) we’ve noticed that the conditions stops getting evaluated and the Actions are run regardless what is in the conditions.For example, say we have below event action with below condition, and it was created by importing it from an ACP. Then despite what is in the condition it will execute what is in the Action Details.However, if you open this event Action in the application and do a fake modification to the Condition and do a re-save the issue is gone and the Events are only executed if the conditions are satisfied.When investigating further we realized that this is due to a discrepancy in the NEWLINE character when Event Conditions are saved in the database. When importing the ACPs through an xml it saves the newline characters in the Condition_type and Condition_Value fields as ‘\r\n’
Currently we have Azure AD set up as the identity provider. Are we able to configure a second identity provider to work simultaneously for Apps 10?Product Version: UPD16

Hello, Using Apps for Page Designer, I configured a field as Required to ensure users do not overlook it when entering time through the MWO Service App. However, this change does not appear to be reflected in the MWO Service App, as users are still able to save their entries without completing the field.Could you please advise if I am missing any additional configuration or step required for this change to take effect in the MWO Service App?IFS version 25R2Thank you,Wafaa
Hi all,We use IFS Applications 10 and schedule shop orders using APB.I’m trying to model a finite physical constraint: we have a limited number of trolleys, which we call banks, that carry material between operations.Example routing:Operation 10 — Work centre A01, fixed 2 hours Operation 20 — Work centre A02, 1 minute per unitMaterial is loaded onto a bank at Operation 10. The same bank then moves with the material to Operation 20 and is only free again once Operation 20 is complete.So the bank should be constrained from:Operation 10 start → Operation 20 finishnot just during each individual operation.For example, if we only have two banks, APB should not allow a third order to start Operation 10 until one of the first two banks has completed Operation 20.I tried modelling this as a tool:Tool ID: BANKInstances: B01, B02Required on Operation 10 and Operation 20But APB releases the tool after Operation 10, then allocates a tool again for Operation 20. It does not appear to hold the same
I am updating a cycle schedule located here: Human Capital Management → HCM Services → Time Management → Schedules and Rules → Work Schedules → Working Hours Schedules → Cycle SchedulesI updated the Day Type for several days and when I saved, I got the following warnings. The time registration for the employees using this cycle schedule do not reflect the changes I’ve made so I assume I will need to recalculate, though I cannot find a way to recalculate these.How do I do this?
Hello,I am trying to add a watermark using Report Designer. I followed the documentation; however, I was unable to find the parameter "Base path for Report Designer graphics on the application server" under the System Parameters.Could you please advise whether this parameter is available in IFS Cloud 25R2, or if it has been renamed, relocated, or replaced by a different configuration setting? Thank you,Wafaa Gerrayi
There is a field MSO Scheduling Information available in Shop Order Operations window? Does this field capture values in IFS 24R2 version also. I was unable to see any data getting fetched.While I could see that the field was capturing data in version of IFS 25R2.Also, in IFS 24R2 version - Finite Scheduling Basic Data screen, I could not see the field “Generate Scheduling Information”. From which version is this field made available?
I have a purchased raw part and on the supplier for purchase part record. I added a price list for a new price of the part some time in the future. However, when I enter a purchase order line for a wanted delivery date beyond the effective date of the new price, the system still displays the supplier for purchase part price from the general tab. Is that how it is supposed to work?Thanks!
We recently reviewed the approved CA/B Forum Ballot SC-081v3, which introduces a phased reduction of publicly trusted TLS certificate validity periods and validation data reuse periods over the coming years.As currently published, the maximum TLS certificate validity period will gradually reduce from 398 days to 47 days by March 2029, while domain validation reuse periods will eventually reduce to as little as 10 days.Given these industry-wide changes, we would like to understand IFS's plans and recommendations regarding certificate lifecycle management for IFS Cloud environments.Could you please provide information on the following for remote deployment:1. Has IFS already assessed the impact of SC-081v3 on IFS Cloud deployments and related components?2. Are there any planned product enhancements or roadmap items to support shorter certificate lifecycles?3. Does IFS have any recommendations for automated certificate management solutions or approaches that can be used within IFS Cloud e

I have a buildable manufacturing structure/routing and a buildable disassembly structure/routing for one part number, MW-M-103.The manufacturing structure uses these component parts:The disassembly structure produces these disassembly component parts (each inventory part type is Disassembly Component):I have calculated the standard manufacturing costs for MW-M-103 in Cost Set 2 and copied to Cost Set 1 using the standard template M-110.Each Disassembly Component has cost template D-110, with Use Distribution Cost 'on', attached in all Cost Sets.When I performed the Disassembly Cost Calculation for MW-M-103 in Cost Set 2, no material costs from bucket 110 were distributed to the components, only operation costs. Should these material costs have been distributed to the Disassembly Components?From the documentation:The disassembly cost calculation is performed by Disassembly Cost Calculation. Before calculation of disassembly cost it is important that the cost for the disassembled product
