Using the “Compare Shop Order with Structure and Routing” option on a shop order shows blowthough phantom items strangely. I get that its doing a 1 to 1 with the product structure so it shows the phantom as being “absent” on the shop order structure and the blow-through components as being “additional”.But I don’t like how the default action is to “remove” the additional components, when they really should be there. We had a change order come through and a planner went through this screen to update shop orders and removed many components without realizing. If we use the “Update Structure Revision and/or Alternate” or “Mass Update Shor Order Structures” it updates the shop orders correctly. Just wondering if I’m missing something with a setting or something. Or if anyone knows if there is any plans to make the Compare feature a little “smarter” in regards to phantom structures.

In IFS10 intercompany instant invoice, the counterparty in the line is getting overridden by the customer ID after saving the invoice. This is occurring only for specific users. What might be the issue? And the access seems to be okay. Is there anything else needs to be checked on the project used or any other setup?

Hello,When we try to cancel a manual customer invoice in status Preliminary, we have the error message below.The accouting period is already open and I can’t understant why it looks to the accounting period since the invoice is in Preliminary status so no voucher created.We are in 25.1.7 version Thank you

Hi all,I’m currently working on a project for a customer in the Oil & Gas industry.They collaborate with subcontractors and assign work orders to external companies. These external technicians are expected to execute the work orders just like internal technicians — including recording measurements, completing checklists, and so on.At the moment, the discussion is leaning toward not sending work orders to the mobile devices of external technicians. Instead, the intention is to use the B2B Portal both for dispatching and for executing the work orders. However, based on my experience, the B2B Portal does not support performing measurements on objects or completing checklists.Has anyone implemented a solution or workaround for this scenario? Any recommendations or best practices on how to address this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, 

Hi,Primavera P6 EPPM synchronization with IFS Cloud is failing during updating the record. The syncronization is working fine when we are updating  project, subproject and activity for first time from Primvera to P6 but failing during updating same in next synchronization onwards. Below are steps to replacate scenerio.1. Create a Project Header only in IFS.2. Create same Project, Subproject and Activity in Primavera3. Synchrozation Project from Primavera to IFS. It will sucessfully Sync Project, Sub Project and Activity in IFS4. In Primavera , change activity details.5. Now try to sync project from Primavera to IFS, it fails, and gives the bellow errors. com.oracle.pgbu.pdi.provider.ProviderException    at com.ifs.ifsprojectprovider.project.ProjectDataLoadStep.getIfsProject(ProjectDataLoadStep.java:110)    at com.ifs.ifsprojectprovider.project.ProjectDataLoadStep.load(ProjectDataLoadStep.java:73)    at com.oracle.pgbu.pdi.service.jobs.JobSimulator.executeLoadStep(JobSimulator.java:1178

Hi,We are on IFS Cloud 24.2.13.We have created a custom command to receive goods through the Register Arrivals process. The custom logic successfully runs Receive_Order_API.Packed_Arrival when the Purchase Orders are created from Requisitions or Project Demand.If I try the same PO line using the Standard “Receive” button, it works as expected, which I think rules out things like the Unit of Measure being the issue?However, when we create a PO via a migration job (used for mass‑loading POs), and then run the same custom code to call:Receive_Order_API.Packed_Arrival…we get the following error:The calculated inventory quantity is 0 (zero) as a result of the stated purchase quantity and the quantity calculation rounding for the inventory part. Please consider increasing the purchase quantity.Has anyone seen this behaviour?What causes the system to calculate an inventory quantity of 0? Does this point to a missing UoM conversion, rounding rule, or inventory UoM mismatch on the PO created vi

Hi,We are working on a solution for a manufacturing metal fabrication customer who would do multiple cutting operations for different products using an Operation Block. They are not using clockings to track start and end operations, only manual approving operations.Cutting Example:Cutting 10 Shop orders are created to fabricate 10 different pipe products of 10 different diameters. Each and every shop order has a cutting operation is their operation list. For all the cutting operations planners use one cutting resource. All the cutting operations from 10 shop orders combine into 1 operation block. Then the operator uses shop floor workbench to approve the operations in the operation block. When the operator tries to approve, he has to enter, machine, labor and quantities manually for each operation. What they expect is to enter quantity, labor and machine time total quantity and distribute.We find that distributing quantity is confusing because it is different quantities and can even be

Hello,Does IFS make available a table of IFS Cloud releases organised by month - ideally with a hyperlink to the release notes for said service update.It could look something like this:Release Month 25R2 25R1 24R2 24R1 23R2 23R1 December 2025 SU? SU? SU? SU? SU? SU? January 2026 SU? SU? SU? SU? SU? SU? February 2026 SU? SU? SU? SU? SU? SU?  When there is General Available of a new release (e.g. 26R1) - a new column would be added for said release. Presumably for the first month the logical link would say GA. If a release is End of Life (EOL) then an EOL link to the End of Life announcement could be provided.The reason I ask about this is that:-I personally find it difficult to establish what service updates came out in a given month. Knowing this may be helpful for companies considering whether they A - Upgrade to a later service update for the release they are currently on B - Update to the equivalent service for a more recent relea

Hello community,  I am facing a question here… how to calculate the lead time for all routing alternates with status buildable at once in IFS Cloud?   I can do it one by one but when I mark two or more, the option disappears. I was thinking about BPA but as I am not an IT girl, I asked GPT for help. Can somebody confirm that this would be doable or propose suitable adjustements?  START (Scheduled or Manual)routing_alternatives =  SELECT contract,         part_no,         routing_revision,         alternative_no  FROM Routing_Alternative  WHERE objstate = 'Released'FOR EACH routing_alternative IN routing_alternativesLOOP   CALL Routing_Alternative_API.Calculate_Manufacturing_Lead_Time(        contract          => routing_alternative.contract,        part_no           => routing_alternative.part_no,        routing_revision  => routing_alternative.routing_revision,        alternative_no    => routing_alternative.alternative_no   )END LOOPEND Thank you for your support, BRPetra

Hi, We are in APP10. We don’t have VIM module installed. we don’t have CRO. We are testing component repair using Repair Work Order. We can take the component off from its parent using repiar work order, after repair, wondering how to install it back to the original equipment structure? Thank you. 

Has anyone out there recently started having problems with communicated PO’s not showing PDF copies of PO’s on the B2B Supplier Portal? Everything for us was working fine for years until recently. Now, when our puchasing department communicates a PO, it may or may not send the PDF of the PO to the portal. It happens randomly and it hard to reproduce. If a user goes back into a failed PO and re-communicates the PO, it will work without anything having changed otherwise. It can happen at any time of the day, to any user, and to any supplier. We recently patched IFS and, coincidentally, this is about the timeframe when the problem started, though we can’t say for sure that is related.

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to get a newly created voucher number in a workflow? I found that when using a custom event, it would give you a number that’s associated with a transfer id rather than the newly created voucher number. This would be used to read the manual voucher and then I’d attach an approval template to the manual voucher itself. I was hoping there may be a more consistent way to get the newest voucher no. Thanks. Thanks,Jay

It could be confusing how the HA setup should be completed.

I am getting the following message when trying to complete an existing migration job Any help please

Just putting some feelers out there to try and understand the current picture from other users. We are trying to upgrade our Build Place to 25R2 (25.2.2) from 25R1 (25.1.2) however have hit a number of snags. Firstly, we were unable to take 25.2.1 due to a notice in the Lifecycle Experience portal that there were issues with certain modules in the solutionset that would cause a failure during installation. We decided to wait until 25.2.2 for this to be resolved.Upon release of 25.2.2 in the past week, we attempted to get the delivery into our Release Studio. Per step 3 of release studio (applying to baseline repo), the build failed. Upon raising a support case for this, it appears there is an issue with certain solutionsets of which we have to now wait until 25.2.3 until it’s resolved.Wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience? Without getting too subjective, we have not had a great experience with getting builds out of the Release Studio or Build Place, especially around

Hi I was wondering if there was some documentation or suggestions for dealing with First Article Inspection for manufacturing on IFS. I was hoping for something that would help for implementating.Thanks  

Dear IFS Community,  IFS Support team forwarded me to here with the question: In Germany there will be a mandatory e-invoicing.Please see the below link:https://www.bdo.global/en-gb/insights/tax/indirect-tax/germany-mandatory-e-invoicing-what-you-need-to-know!As this is a mandatory government regulation, my question would be, when, how and which UPD will IFS provide an official solution to handle this requirement?I also found this post: E-invoicing for Germany | IFS Community but this does not contains the tags IFS mentioned, so I raised this topi again.  Kind regards, Balazs

Hello eveyrone,In the GL Balance Analysis screen, is there any way to filter out or eliminate lines with a zero balance?We currently see accounts with no postings (debit = 0, credit = 0, balance = 0) being displayed year after year due to the automatic opening balance.These lines are not relevant from a business point of view.Can anyone please advise if there is a standard way (filter, setting, parameter) to hide or exclude zero balance lines?Thank you. Regards,Fatimetou Taleb

Does IFS have Supply Chain Finance payment setup? We are currently stuying some options to improve AP process and we can choose SCF but we need to control it in IFS when supplier get paid earlier and when we process the payment to the bank

Hi, We’re on Cloud 25R1 SU5. Have a general question about using Dispatch Console.As dispatch console shows only a limited date range into the past (max 14 days), what is the expected tool to view or plan active assignments and work tasks that are, say, older than 14 days? The dispatchers then have to use two or more pages - one for the tasks that appear on DC and the others for the tasks that don’t appear? How do you make this process easier for the dispatchers?Cheers.

We are using the Migration Toolkit (mtk tables) to migrate from a legacy system to IFS Cloud. All is going well except for the material value of components issued to shop orders. For a given component, it can be issued to multiple shop orders at different values. The mtk lot serial table and the mtk material tables have fields for inventory value but what we put in these fields is ignored. Regardless of what we do, components are issued to the shop order using the inventory value on the inv part. Does someone have a process for migrating wip value when the component’s value can be different on different shop orders.

Hello Community,During the shipment process in IFS Cloud,  a client sometimes pack goods that exceed the standard height defined for the Handling Unit Type. We can manually adjust the height of the handling unit in the shipment’s Handling Unit Structure, but the operative volume does not update automatically based on the new height.Is there a standard way in IFS Cloud to ensure that when I manually update the HU height (or when the packed goods exceed the defined height), the operative volume recalculates automatically?If not, is there an intended setup, configuration (e.g., additive volume), or recommended workaround (event action, customization, or integration approach) to achieve this?Or will this be updated in the coming releases? Do we have this on the pipeline for future releases?Thanks in advance!

Hi,we are currently deploying IFS Scan It on Zebra Android devices (Android 14+) in a shared-device environment managed via SOTI MobiControl. We have identified a critical technical issue during the FIDO2/NFC authentication flow that prevent a successful rollout:When IFS Scan It initiates an authentication request for a FIDO2 security key (USB), the Android Credential Manager provides the user with the option to create a local screen lock or a device-bound Passkey: In our shared-device environment, it is critical that users do not have the option to set private PINs or Passkeys on shared hardware. This leads to accidental lockouts and high administrative overhead. We have already encountered the issue of some users setting a PIN on shared devices. Could you kindly confirm whether there is a plan to fix this issue?

Hi everyone, I have a customer who encounters a weird issue with configured columns that are getting reset. I suspect this to be a bug. The user configures the columns within his personal user profile, but for no specific time slots the columns are getting reset back to what I believe is the standard column configuration within the basis profile.The user only encounters the problem on the screen of Posting Proposals.I’ve tried to set up history log on that page, but it doesnt log the changes. To do it even more confusing, if the user is then waiting and not manually configuring them back to his preferred positions, they will automatically within like 1-2 hours go back to his configured way. Happening in IFS10 UPD25
