Hello!In the new generation of Service Management (where work order is replaced by service request and work task), does anybody know if it is possibly to connect a supplier invoice (without PO ) to a service request/work task? This is needed to get the cost to the service request.

Supplier log on Supply portal to confirm POeg: PO#001/Line1/Rel 1 - PO qty =3000, with wanted delivery date 4/1/2022, from supplier side, they only can 1000 on 4/1/2022, 2000 on 4/15/2022, the expected result is, when supplier change PO qty to 1000 and write down date as 4/1/2022 in PO#001/line1/rel 1, then another PO line with same PO#001/Line1/rel2 will be popped up with PO Qty=2000 (the rest of 3000 after 4/1/2022, price and other message is the same as original PO status), then supplier write down date as 4/15/2022. how to make this happen?please adviceThanks
Hello.We are currently using IFS Applications 10 and need to install Microsoft Visual Studio for development purposes. However, we were informed that the IFS development tools are officially compatible with Visual Studio 2013. On the other hand, Microsoft provides support only for Visual Studio 2015 and later versions.Could you advise which Visual Studio version is recommended for optimal compatibility with the IFS toolset? Additionally, which version has proven to be more stable when used with IFS development components?Thank you.
Hello,I’m trying to duplicate parts to create them into another site (contract) of my company.It’s part of a workflow which automatize unballasting between our main site to sub site.I tried to use CopyPart projection in API calls (type call or create), InventoryPartHandling, but it doesn’t work.The function (invoke) DefaultCopy used from the inventory part webpage to “duplicate” is not available in projection API so I don’t know how to process.Right now, I fetch the entity element I need from API call then I create a new entity element with it.But for inventory part for exemple, I got 90+ fields to fill.I don’t think this is the good solution and a real copy function should exist, but can’t find it, or make it work (Copypart.svc) ?Thank you
At which point is the IFS exchange rate attached to a customer order/invoice? If an order is raised in Feb but invoice goes out in March I believe it’s the March ex rate that is used? but does the ex change rate ever get attached to the order, or does it only get added to the process when the invoice is raised?
Hi ,In the cloud, I can see color differentiation while setting up region details. Is it possible to see color differentiation on PSO as well?
Hi everyone,I'm currently trying to set up Object_Groups in PSO (we are using PSO Standalone 6.16), but I'm running into some issues and I’m not sure whether I’m missing something or if the configuration is wrong.I created Groups in PSO and sent the following RAM_Object_Group data via the ARP file:!--scriptorstartfragment--><RAM_Object_Group> <id>200</id> <group_id>Arbeitsplatz1</group_id> <ram_resource_id>R1</ram_resource_id></RAM_Object_Group><RAM_Object_Group> <id>201</id> <group_id>Arbeitsplatz1</group_id> <ram_resource_id>R2</ram_resource_id></RAM_Object_Group>!--scriptorendfragment-->In the Resource Data screen, the group assignments appear correctly for each resource.After generating the Rotas in PSO, I send the Task file with the following Object_Group entries: My test user has the following permissions:FilterResourceActivityBased = false FilterShowFullAllocat
Do we have any option in IFS to manage lessor accounting? The customer has two companies configured in IFS — one operating as the lessee and the other as the lessor. While the standard lease module supports lessee accounting, how can we handle the lessor side? Any workaround or alternative approach would also be appreciated.
Hi,We are looking for a way to import documents from a shared folder or local c drive into IFS cloud document management.Tried using Cloud File storage Migration Tool (FS Mig Tool) but seems it is most suitable for environment-to-environment migration.The documents need to be attached to the corresponding business object screens under the attachment section. Importing them manually one by one would be time consuming, so we are looking for a batch import approach.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank You!
Idea:Capture Source on Leads in CRM Companion (Source ID / marketing attribution) ProblemMarketing/source attribution exists in CRM (e.g., sources for Accounts and Opportunities), and lead management is fully documented in the web client. CRM Companion covers Leads as an entity, but there’s no documented way to set a lead Source on mobile—forcing later desktop entry and risking data loss after marketing events/activities.Why it matters Accurate campaign ROI and channel performance tracking (events, conferences). Reduces rework and prevents attribution gaps when leads are created in the field. Proposed solution (mobile UX) Add a Source field (drop-down) to the Lead create/edit form in CRM Companion. Respect existing CRM source basic data and validation (same list as web). Acceptance criteria When creating or editing a Lead in CRM Companion, user can set Source from the same dictionary used on web (read-only if restricted by configuration). Source persists offline and synchronizes
Idea:Add Confirm / Progress Sales Process action for Business Opportunities in CRM Companion ProblemIn the web client a BO is created with Unconfirmed status and can be progressed/managed via sales-process actions (incl. Confirm/Process). CRM Companion lacks a documented way to confirm/progress a BO on mobile, forcing reps to wait for desktop and delaying funnel governance.Why it matters Faster stage hygiene from the field; BO lands in the correct process immediately. Cleaner reporting and automation that hinge on BO status/transitions. Proposed solution (mobile UX) On BO detail, expose a Process / Confirm button mirroring the web’s sales-process command set for the current BO state. Advance Stage: validates required actions, then moves the BO to the next stage. Acceptance criteria Creating a BO in CRM Companion results in Unconfirmed status (same as web); user can perform Confirm from mobile after choosing the correct sales process. Available actions match web permissions &

We have been experiencing an issue where one of our users is not receiving an email notification when there is a supplier invoice to authorize. This emailing action is tied to Event ID NOTIFY_NEXT_AUTH, our Action #2. Please see screenshots for setup of this event action. As far as the &AUTHORIZER_MAIL_ADDRESS in the To section of the Email Group, I am not sure where that is defined or how to add email addresses to that group On 2/3, this event created four Application Message transaction – three finished and one failed. The error text reads “Mail address 'To' field is not specified”. I believe this failed application message is related to the user who is not receiving the emails. When I check his User profile and Person file, there is a correct email address listed for him. He also has the same setup in the “Invoice Posting Authorizers” screen as other users who do receive the email notifications. Does anyone know where else this user needs to be set up/added in order to start rec
Hello,We have a business requirement.Currently, suppliers must be configured per company (payment and invoice settings). We have many companies and many suppliers, is there a way to define a supplier as global so it can be used across all companies without having to configure payment and invoice attributes for each company individually? Thank you
Hi All, I am getting below error while initializing data from FSM to PSO. Could please help me to fix the issue.Configured all parameters in FSM which are required to load data from FSM to PSO. An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://XXXXXXXX:8744/IFS/Scheduling/Gateway/Service/Session. This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the serverThanks,Durga
On the Sales Contract, there is a field in the Financial Settings called “Copy Contract Item Tax”. It’s in the database in the ifsapp.SALES_CONTRACT table as “COPY_ITEM_TAX” and it is a “TRUE/FALSE” field (all caps, in the database that way). How can I set it to default to “TRUE”? The other text fields were simple but this isn’t. Etc., until the default area. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Thanks in advance!
