Hi Team,I have a request from customer to have a workflow to manage supplier invoice arrival. We already introduced Supplier invoice workflow using Posting proposal. However, there business scenario is like belowIndustry - Construction & EngineeringScenario AP team receive the supplier invoices directly from the Supplier and they need to assign this to Project Managers or Procurement team to get the source reference Eg: PO RefIs there an alternative solution to handle this requirement.I explained that AP team needs to get the invoices from the person who originate the transactions. However, looking for a solution to handle the exception where, AP team get invoice directly and they need to route it to different person via IFS Application.BR/Narmada  

Hi,Our customer has an issue with OCI punchout with a supplier. Once the shopping is checked out no parts/lines are transferred from the punchout to IFS shopping cart. I investigated and found out that the JSON message we are receiving(for method Self_Serv_Shop_Cart_Util_API.Receive_Punchout_Response()) is missing parameters UserId, Supplier and most importantly BuyerCookie. The customer confirmed that they are sending these parameters in the POST request as below.  Also I have asked them to change the format as UserId[0], BuyerCookie[0], Supplier[0] just to test it out, but still we get the same issue.It seems the format of the POST request for the 3 parameters is wron

When working with a detached spare part list that has a multilevel hierarchy, we observed the following behavior: The Level 1 part in the detached spare part list has two connected child parts (Level 2). When retrieving the detached spare part list from the Maintenance Material Requisition (MMR), it is not possible to directly navigate or view the Level 2 parts from the hierarchy. To access Level 2 parts, we need to manually add the corresponding Level 1 part in the MMR, then re-query and add spare parts from the detached spare part list. Only then do the Level 2 parts appear. This process results in multiple iterations when dealing with hierarchical spare part structures. Additionally, once the Level 2 parts are retrieved, the previous level label does not provide contextual information about the parent part. We’re trying to understand whether this is: A

Hi All,Even though the permission set FND_DESIGNER_REPORT has been granted, the Report Studio design interface is not showing up.Could you please advise on possible causes?   

Dear All,i’m facing an problem in issuing the part to location from maintenance material requisition even though having the onhand qty available. Moreover the Qty of the part is under standard inventory. So, kindly suggest if there is any cause for this.

We have requirement of POCO approval only for delta amount. we are not able Approve the POCO when the delta amount is negative. 

Hi All,Do you have any example on how to set up Report Rule ‘Sign PDF’ including how to create/include signature(may be in keystores).I tried to setup a rule but it gives an error in Print Manager.Error:Failed to getFullXML: null Caused by: null

I need to add an e-signature to the end of the Purchase Order report. I created a report rule and there is an option to specify the page number on which the signature should appear. However, I want the signature to appear on the last page, and since the total number of pages may vary, I cannot specify an exact page number. Is there a solution for this?Below are the report rule action properties I’m currently using 

Hi All, Most of the country compliance in Pagero requires the document to be send by PUF format.https://pagero.github.io/country-compliance/ Is there any transformer or any kind of a solution available to convert IFS E-Invoice format to Pagero PUF format?  

Hi all, In recent several weeks, out IFS Dev environment Cloud run very slow. It needs to wait several minutes to show a page. We have workflow, background jobs and report. Is there a way for us to investigate what is the reason to trigger the slowness?  Thank you

I have properly creating a sales process and marked it as the default. However, whenever I create a new business opportunity, the “Sales Process” field is not defaulting to the Default Sales Process. What is the issue? This is for IFS Aurena with IFS 10.    

We are in the process of transitioning to IFS Cloud, We are currently on IFS APPS 10 and use the IFS ScanIT Aurena 10. We have a test environment set up (On 25R1) and are wanting to begin testing WADACO (we use Android Devices) but cannot find instructions on how to log in. We have been told to use IFS Aurena ScanIt - The only thing close to that I can find on the Android Store is what we already have.I have no clue what to put in the System ID field and every time I enter our Test Environment URL, I get a server is not reachable error. 

Is it possible for engineers to work across multiple sites within the same company and, additionally across multiple companies.I have a requirement for engineers to carry out work orders in this regard and have visibility of engineering stocks across all relevant sites / companies.Appreciate the answer to this will likely be down to setup, that is currently what I am struggling with. We are currently on Apps8.Furthermore, are the any pitfalls with regards to this that I should be aware of?Thanks in advance.

 Hello Experts,Please suggest if there is a mechanism, trying to avoid doing a CRIM here.When WO created from service contract/ PM action with a resource defined with an assigned person in contract with relevant hours required,Can same person be assigned in WT/assign work allocation? (can it be automated to fetch from PM action as its already added there?), now it flows to work demands but no allocation is made thought data is existing.Can we automate creating allocation link without a crim, just want to see the best options available?Reason because 900> WO exist initially to manually assign.When WO is created, go to allocations, demand shows but not allocated, can we apply it automatically? 

Hi,Is there a Report for Contractor Time that has been registered but not yet invoiced (PRJT13 Postings Balance)?We are using Time Registration for Contractors to Enter Time Sheets. We then match the Supplier Invoices from the Contractors against the Project Transactions. These use PRJT13 - Project Time Reporting for Contractors Counter Booking. The Project Transactions Time Transaction credits PRJT13. When the Supplier Invoice is matched it debits PRJT13. At any time there will be a balance in the General Ledger in the Account used by PRJT13 relating to to the Contractor Time that has been registered but not yet invoiced (similar to the Purchase Order Receipts leaving a balance in the Account used by M91 relating to what we see in the “Received - Not Yet Invoiced” Report.Thanks for any help.Cheers,Graham

Steps to recreate issue observed in Cloud 24R2: Identify a customer that has more than 25 Address IDs. Navigate to Customer > Address. Expand Address ID dropdown. Scroll to bottom of list and click Show More - repeat until the end of the list is reached Count the number of Address IDs from the full list.Expected result: All customer Address IDs are displayed in the list.Actual result: Some Address IDs are missing from the list. In my example, the customer has 34 distinct Address IDs in the database, but only 25 are visible in the list. Can anyone recreate this? The workaround for now is to open the filter panel and enter the customer number in the customer filter - then all addresses are loaded in the list.  

I have a strange problem. I have developed a SQL Quick Report which execute perfectly: returns 19 rows as expected but no data is shown in some of the columns. These columns are related to Shop Order Costs.So if I log in to IEE,  go the the SQL QR and execute it: the cost columns are empty for all 19 rows. If I open the Shop Order Costs form, filter to the same order_no than the SQL QR: I can see the costs. Now if I go back and execute the SQL QR I get: 19 rows and all the empty cost columns are now full of number!What the hell is going on? Anyone have ideas?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if Apps10 is compatible with punchout technology for eProcurement? Is there any documentation available on how this can be setup in Apps10?Thanks 

We are under the impression that we have to create one sales part number and a different part number for purchases so we can track our inventory correctly. Is this true or is there a way to use the same part number for sales to customers and for purchase of components that go into top level parts we sell to customers?For example, we buy widget A under part number A001. This part is used in 10 other top-level parts we manufacture. We sell A001 as a top-level part to customers. So, for inventory tracking, we have the sales part A001 in sites 1 and 2 coded accounting group code 30 for Finished Goods. The purchase part A001 we have coded with accounting group code 10 for Purchased Part. It seems we are reserving the purchase parts for sales to customers versus using them to build top level parts for sale.Also, unfortunately, it seems our controller can’t seem to run month end reporting with correct inventory figures since we use the same part number for both sales and purc

Is it possible to estimate when improvements to conditional formatting will be available in the IFS Cloud?The options for conditional formatting in the IFS Cloud are significantly more limited compared to APPS10.The number of available colors is considerably smaller. Only the background, not the text itself, can be formatted. Text styles (bold, italic) cannot be adjusted. The available operators are also significantly restricted. We particularly miss the ability to search for parts of labels (e.g., "~pipe" for "contains pipe"). We are currently unable to replicate all the formatting options used in APPS10.Conditional formatting is a valuable tool for ensuring readability and a quick overview of tables. We hope that the familiar functionality will soon be available in the IFS Cloud as well. Best regardsJakob

Hi All,We are looking at the Strategic Procurement Module - has anyone got a set up guide, detailed presentations, videos or any information on how they set it up or how they are using is it?We want to see if we can use it to score our suppliers on a ‘word’ based questionnaire/survey (similar to 1-5). Survey to be emailed to our internal team on Projects and results recording in Supplier file KPI.If anyone else is using it for this, happy to share information on how we have integrated the Sub Contractor capacity - T/O versus outstanding SC Order Valuations to pay :). Thanks Trudy

Dear community. Since moving to IFS Cloud we have found that when using the users local printers \\SERVER\PRINT to print reports, i.e. Purchase Order Arrival and Sales Order Quotation, if the report is landscape, it does not automatically rotate it, and it prints it on portrait orientation, and resizes the printout to fit inside the portrait orientation. We notice that when the job is printed, the system downloads the file to \downloads, which is expected, and when viewing the downloaded printout in Acrobat or similar, it appears to be in Landscape orientation, however the physical printout is always incorrect. I cant believe that we are the only ones that have ever seen this. Any assistance would be appreciated.David. 

Hi guys,When adding components to the Consist Of Tab in the Engineering Part Navigator on IFS Cloud the Drawing Position No tab is mandatory and it’s always a “*”. What is the purpose of this Tab and is it possible to remove it if not in use OR set default “*” when adding a new component to the BOM.Thank youRegardsIna
