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
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 It seems that the Reference_InventoryReceipt object is outdated and I have been attempting to replace it with ReceiveShopOrderSet-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’

Hello,We are running IFS Cloud 25R2SU07 with 120 users. The middel tier has 128 GB of memory, but only 25 GB is userd.

HelloWe have a customer requirement to have project pre-posting enabled on the M65 form.We would like to understand how project pre-posting can be included in the M65 form using the standard configuration. Is it possible to configure the standard settings so that the “Pre-posting” field is set to “Yes” by default for the M65 form? Could you please confirm whether this can be achieved through standard configuration, or if any customization is required? Thank you for your guidance. Pre posting for Project ID 80001 Purchase order with charges When I invoice a purchase order that includes charges, the project pre-posting does not appear on the M65 form Can you please help me?

I would like some help understanding the scope of Deprecation and Removal Plan (DARP) for Work Order Based Service. I want to start moving processes from “work order” based services to “request based” services, but we’d appreciate knowing exactly what’s coming before we start making big changes:To anyone who has more information on this, please help us with the following questions:1. Will Maintenance still rely on work orders and tasks for things like PM Actions / Programs and Plans after 27R1 with full support?2. Will Serial Objects, Functional Objects (EquipmentObjects) functionality ultimately remain the same after 27R1 with full support?3. Will we still have access to our historical work orders. In other words, will we still be able to pull up the historical work orders page and see what services we completed with all the basic data we currently have after 27R1?4. Will the MWO Service App remain the primary way can receive information from our techs at customer sites so long as the

Hello IFS Team,we are currently implementing Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) user and group provisioning for IFS Cloud using the SCIM interface.Our environment is operated as a managed service in Microsoft Azure. Each customer has its own Microsoft Entra tenant, while the IFS Cloud environment is hosted in a separate managed Azure tenant operated by us.During our design phase, we identified that the standard Microsoft Entra SCIM provisioning service typically requires the SCIM endpoint to be reachable by Microsoft's cloud-based provisioning service via public IP addresses. Microsoft also provides an alternative architecture based on the Microsoft Entra Provisioning Agent, which allows provisioning to SCIM-enabled applications located in private networks without exposing the SCIM endpoint to the Internet.We would like to understand whether the IFS Cloud SCIM implementation supports this scenario.Could you please confirm the following:Does IFS Cloud support SCIM provisioning through the Mi
Hello everyone,we are currently planning a new on-premise IFS Cloud High Availability installation.According to the IFS documentation, a customer-provided hardware or software load balancer must be used in front of the Middle Tier cluster. IFS does not provide a dedicated load balancer solution and the load balancer must support session stickiness. [docs.ifs.com], [docs.ifs.com]We are now evaluating possible options and would like to learn from other customers' experiences.Some questions:Which load balancer are you using with IFS Cloud HA? Are you using Citrix ADC, F5, NGINX, HAProxy or another solution? Is the solution vendor-supported in your environment? How long have you been running it in production? Have you experienced any issues with session stickiness, WebSockets, SSL termination or upgrades? Would you recommend your current setup?We are particularly interested in customer experiences from Europe, but feedback from all regions is highly appreciated.Thank you in advance for sha
Hello,We recently upgraded from Apps 10 to IFS Cloud 25R1.In Apps 10, we were able to move a work task status back to the New status if there were no records associated/transacted with it. We’ve used this in cases where a user accidentally moves a task to Under Preparation prior to actually starting to work on the task. I can’t seem to find a way to do this in IFS Cloud, but I also cannot find any documentation that states this is restricted by design. Was this ability that was possible in Apps 10 taken away in Cloud? Or am I missing a step to be able to move it back into a New status?Thanks,Evan
Can Azure API Management be used as an API Gateway in front of the IFS Cloud APIs, providing source IP allowlisting, additional authentication/authorization, request logging/monitoring and rate limiting?In addition, can direct API access to the IFS Cloud endpoint be restricted so that API traffic is accepted only via the customer's Azure API Management gateway?
