I’ve created a mapping to remove commands at the top of Manual Supplier Invoice to people not in a specific user group. I am not in that group and even after refreshing the mapping cache the page does not show the Finance context that it should. Am I missing something? The prior week it was working sporadically as well. 

Hi Experts We use the Multi-Company Project reporting mainly for  (Project) Time Registrations. Invoicing between companies is done manually through Instant Invoices Now we are looking into using Project Invoicing to send the Invoices across. Creating the Invoice is all working fine. The external supplier invoice gets created. But the create Supplier Invoice is not auto-matched against the transactions.Basically the PRJT7 and 8 should get reversed and trigger the PRJT11. I guess the same procedure as the M91/92 and M93.Posting Control PRJT11 is setup, but not automatically kicking in.We are using Message Class INVOICE and Media Code MHS to send the invoices. i also checked the connectivity box and it looks all fine, no warning or any kind of errors. Any Idea how to get it worked? Best RegardsSophal

Hello everyone,I’m currently exploring the Work Order Report Control functionality in IFS and would appreciate any insights into how it works. On my project, I’m trying to determine whether it’s possible to print a work order or work task layout together with all of its associated attachments (PDFs, Office docs, images, etc.) in a single print operation. Has anyone implemented this or seen a similar solution? Any guidance, examples, or pointers to configuration options would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hello Expert,Could you please advise on how to handle the following use case in IFS Cloud and PSO?In our field service operations, we typically assign two or more technicians to a service job at the customer's location. It is only required that one of the technicians possesses all the necessary skills, while the others do not need to meet the same skill criteria.Is it possible to configure IFS PSO to allocate the activity to a primary technician based on a skill match, while assigning the remaining technicians based on availability and other constraints (excluding skills)?Thank you in advance.Regards,Bharathraj

Hi everyone,I have to develop some SQL Queries, which will be saved as Saved Search within the Functional Objects search window. I noticed that we can’t use the “join” to optimize the execution of the query (Maybe a wrong assumption..).So, the second option was to used the in/not in or exists/not exists but performance are crap….See an example below:  For instance, on the above queries, I stop the execution after 10 minutes…… I tried to find another way via the API but nothing seems matching my requirement…. Thanks in advance for your suggestion/recommendation

We have created a PO Authorization rule which is valid for change order and Allow Changes after Authorization = Within Authorizer Limit here’s the description given for Allow Changes after AuthorizationNo Changes Allowed: No changes are allowed that affect the total line amount of the partially or fully authorized purchase orders. If the Include Charge Amounts option is selected for the rule, the system will not allow to add new charge lines. Within Order Amount: Changes are allowed within the approved purchase order amount. Once the order is authorized, additional purchase order lines can be added as well, as long as the total order amount does not exceed the authorized purchase order amount. Within Limit of Authorizer: Changes are allowed within the limit of the applied authorization rule or within the authorization limit of the last step in the applied authorization routing. Once the order is authorized, no additional purchase order lines can be added. If the Include Charge Amounts

Currently there is no way to deactivate Project Groups other than to change the status back to “In Progress” from “Active.”However, what would happen if I currently have some active financial projects that are active but the project group has been set to “In Progress”? Would this cause any issues to the Project or financial transactions and capitalization that are done for the project, or since the financial project has already been created, does the project group does not effect the project anymore?If setting a project group back to in progress does affect the project, what is the recommended method to deactivate a project group?

Hi All, I am seeing this weird behaviour in count reports window. I want to adjust it in from the count report 1 to 50 but it is not filtering correctly. Instead of 1,2,3 it shows as 1,10,11. Is there a way to over come this, customer wants to see them in a sequence and unable to query for the count reports 1..50 as it would not show those count reports.Thanks,Chamath

hello,We are using revenue recognition method POC Revenue First (Capitalize revenue/expenses) and capitalization method = transaction. POC method = actual costs. This is IFS cloud 24r2.There are some costs (via manual voucher entry or non-PO supplier invoices) connected to the project that should not be included in revenue recognition calculation (for POC, recognized revenue and recognized cost).  Is there any setup in IFS that can accomplish this.
