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 It seems that the Reference_InventoryReceipt object is outdated and I have been attempting to replace it with ReceiveShopOrderSet-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

Ubuntu has released Linux kernel vulnerability https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-98432 and currently Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which are the recommended OS for IFS cloud remote deployments up to 26R2 seems to be affected with this kernel vulnerability.https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/26r2/080_supported_platforms/#middle_tier_serverDo we have a recommendation?
We are investigating the NGSM (Request Management) as the Maintenance side (Work Orders, Work Task) is slated to be depreciated by Nov 2027.Whilst we can replicate exisiting business processes almost on a like-for-like basis between Maintenance and Request, we do have some questions regarding fields we currently use for custom event validation and posting controls.The Customer tab is not on the Request Task, this we can manage as the information is still on the Customer Information Field Set, so we can get Order Type, Coordinator and Customer from there. What we are unable to figure out is how to set up Pre-Posting for this. We do not find anything except T57 to enable, which is already there for legacy setup on Work Task.Pre-Posting does exist on Services under the Request,but even if we enble this in Posting Control We can not seem to get it enabled for The field for Pre-Posting is available in the underlying view, so I do believe it should be possible to enable. Is there perhap
An IT department representative from one of our IFS Cloud-implementing customers is interested in Maintenance Planning and Scheduling (MPS). They are aware that MPS is the successor to the Maintenance Planning Board (MPB). Does anyone know of any good resources to explain MPS to this person?
Hi everyone,Do you have experience with this kind of depreciation methods and what could have gone wrong in the migration, considering that I have 2 Objects with the same depreciation method, and for one IFS calculates the monthly amount until end of depreciation correctly, meanwhile for the other one, at some point is not finding period 13 of relative year and it stops. Thanks, Violeta
Hi all,We run FSM 6 Update 29 on-premise, with the Mobile Service on its own server in our DMZ. The Mobile Service download folder has grown to about 85 GB and nearly 100k files, and nothing in it ever seems to be removed.We've compared our setup with the U29 baseline database and can't find any scheduled process or app parameter that manages this folder. MOBILE DEVICE CLEANUP removes old device records and their messages from the database, but it doesn't touch the files on the Mobile server.From what we can see, the folder holds:- cached attachments (plus .zip copies of older ones)- device init databases (PERSON__DEVICESEQ.zip). Every init seems to get a new device sequence and old ones are never removed, so one user has 25 of them going back to 2021.- image zips- a few hundred .tmp files left over from downloads that seem to have been interruptedHow do other on-premise customers handle this?1. Do you clean up this folder, and if so, how (a scheduled script, an IFS-provided job, a set
We have just completed an upgrade to IFS Cloud from IFS APPS10. In the Handling Units In Stock search function, there was an option to search for Handling Units In Transit. This function is no longer available in IFS Cloud and receiving handling units from transit takes considerably longer with the options available.IFS Cloud - Handling Units In Stock screen - trying to add “Transit” to search options IFS APPS10 - Handling Units In Stock - Search screenWill this option be added back to Handling Units In Stock? It seems like this is a backwards step for this process as you either have to search for handling units with a qty equal to zero, to see handling units that may be in transit and move them after checking. Or going through Inventory Parts In Stock and having to input the quantity to move individually for each line. If you have another method to find and move handling units in transit, within the Handling Units In Stock page, I would be happy to use that. Thank you. Ben Walls
We have integration between IFS Cloud and PSO, For the dataset in Scheduling dataset Parameters scheduling work days is set to 5 and Appointment window is set to 30 Days We are using Appointment as the process type of our schedule, However i can see order with SLA start of March 2027 also visible in PSO,Is this valid since i would expect orders whose SLA start is within the next 35 days to be visible in PSO.
Hi all,I would like to ask about a behavior change regarding code generation in the recent IFS Developer Studio update.* Developer Studio Version:** IFS Developer Studio 18 (Build 26.2.1308 2026-10-02)* Target File: `XXXX-Cust.entity` (marked as `[r/o]`)* Target Layer: `Cust`**Issue Description:**When running "Generate Code and Deploy" on a customization entity file that has read-only attributes, the execution is blocked with the following error:> `ERROR: Files are in read-only mode. Code generation and deployment are not supported for read-only files.`In previous versions, we were able to run generate code and deploy without issues even when the files were in read-only mode.**Questions:**1. Is this an intended specification change / new validation introduced in the 2026-10-02 release (26.2.1308) to strictly disallow generation on any read-only files?2. Is there any setting or workaround available to bypass this restriction, or is it mandatory now to manually remove the read-only fl
Hi all,I would like documents attached to a Purchase Order Header or Purchase Requisition Header to also be visible in the Attachment panel of the related Project Definition.Could anyone explain how the transformation methods should be configured for these Object Connection Transformations? A working example for either scenario would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know when the release notes for 26R2 will be published?
Hi Everyone,We are using IFS Cloud with PSO and MWO, with crews (team resources) in the schedule.What we see:When an individual resource logs in or out of MWO, PSO shows Login/Logout event markers on that resource Gantt. When a crew leader logs in to MWO, the markers do not show on the crew (team) row shows no Login/Logout indication.Our questions:Is this standard behaviour, and has anyone found a way to get crew-level visibility, such as a configuration, a custom setup or an enhancement request? Is there a PSO parameter or configuration that controls whether Login/Logout events are displayed at crew level? Are these events always posted against the individual resource, or can IFS Cloud send them against the crew (team) resource?Any experience, documentation links or guidance would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Hi,We created an Email type Custom Event Action using PDF_REPORT_CREATED Event to send out Reminder Letters to customers. We are using the standard IFS report in Apps 10. The Custom Event is triggered successfully, and the email is sent with the attachment. However, the attachment filename in some emails appears to have an incorrect format.The attachment filename should be in the format shown below. Any reason for this issue?
