Hi,In 25R2 , customers who use delivery continuity need to empty all cdbs and move code to relevant ddl/dml files to support online delivery.For customers who upgrade to 25R2 and dont use delivery continuity for now , can still do the same as above targeting future use of the feature and continue with offline installation? As per documentation this is possible as i understood?Best Regards,Wasana
Hi,Using workflow I was trying to automate the “Receive” functionality present on “My Self-Service Request History” screen. This same functionality is also present on “Register Arrival” screen. I checked in the code of the assistant that pops up when this button is clicked. The assistant populates data in the virtual(s) using an action “InsertSelection” which accepts 2 parameters, first one is of CLOB type. So, I tried to replicate this step into my workflow using the below 3 blocks -First block “Create Temp Lob” is creating a new record in FndTempLobs - Second block “Update Clob Data” is Updating the Lob record created in previous step by passing the ClobData -${Selection} contains the keyref string. This step is not working I believe. Last block “Call InsertSelection” calls the action by passing in the LobId that was generated in the first block. After the 2nd block, I get the error from the 3rd block - The three blocks are created in the same way the network calls are invoked upon c

In the current setup, the customer is utilizing Sales Contracts for invoicing, where state taxes are applied at the contract header level. However, the same customer operates with multiple delivery and invoice addresses, and the applicable state tax varies depending on the specific address ID.Since the tax is determined at the Sales Contract header level (and not at the line/item level), the requirement is to assess whether standard IFS functionality supports handling multiple tax structures for the same customer based on different address IDs within a single Sales Contract.From the Report Codes, it is understood that tax handling can be managed through configuration. However, based on the customer’s scenario, this would not be an optimal or scalable solution, as the tax variation is address-driven rather than report code–driven.Could you please confirm whether there is available standard functionality in IFS to manage varying tax codes per customer address within Sales Contracts, or w
Hi All, We can give a time to complete when we change the status of an assignment to “Incomplete” in a Request task. The status of the assignment is changed to “Incomplete” and “Time to Completion” is updated correctly. However, there is no any slot in the Dispatch Console or any other place to assign this remaining 1 hour as an assignment.If we Incomplete an assignment from MWO by choosing the option “Needs to be planned”, then we can suggest a Resource Group and Preferred Resource while we incomplete the assignment. Then only, assignment slot appears in the dispatch console. But, what will happen when a technician only Incomplete work by giving remaining time to complete?TIA.
Hi everyone, We are trying to create serial object with the rental module, but we don’t manage to do it.We have enabled “create SM object” on sales part, but the object is not created when we deliver rental CO lines. Is it possible to create object with this process ? Do you have any other solutions ?Thanks,Simon Pertin
HelloIn IFS Cloud, the max lines to be shown in one screen is 960, when the searching result are 2000 lines and one of field will be replaced by edit all function, how can I do this in one time instead of three times (1st time 960, 2nd time 960, 3rd time for the rest)? Please help to advice. ThanksSusan
Hello,In IFS Cloud, is it possible to automate the ‘Delivery Confirmation of Customer Orders’ based on the receipt of purchase orders for which a "Receiving Advice" has been created and sent via MHS ?The objective is to automatically generate sales order Delivery Confirmations as soon as a purchase order receiving advice has been issued.For clarification, this is within the context of an intercompany flow between two sites (one buyer and one seller). Thank you in advance for your support Best regards
We have a customer on IFS Cloud 24R2 and have a custom IAL defined with Manual Update and Copy All Data replication type in PROD. The last replication job did not complete successfully, it ran for around 6 hours and it appears the Oracle session was terminated, and the job was subsequently set to Error status by the light cleanup process with the following message:This background job was set to state Error because the executing Oracle process was killed (detected by cleanup process at 2026-02-21-01.18.27 due to no session being found).After four days, customer has re-attempted to retry the manual replication. However, it still fails with the below error:Replication is in progress. New replication will not be initiated. ORA-20105: IalObject.REPLICATIONINPROIs there a safe way to handle this situation from either the database or application side?In App10, we could use the IAL configuration screen to RMB > Reset Failed Executions, but this option doesn’t seem to exist in IFS Cloud.
I am unable to release a purchase requisition in IFS Cloud even though I have full access to PurchaseRequisitionHandling.
All,How do I get the following field onto another page so that it can be edited too.The field is in the view purchase_receipt and is the finally_invoiced_date. This field is seen on the Porcurement - Receipt - Receipt page - Closed DateI want this to be on the Procurement - Receipt - Receipts page. However when I go into page designer the field is not there to choose from and as I want to modify the data in this field I’m stumped as to the best way to do this. Help here would be appreciated.The reason I need to have this field in an easy to see view is that we have a few customers who supply ourselves with free issue parts that we will never match to an invoice as we do not receive an invoice, however we do have to give our customer a PO for scheduling stock into ourselves, so to fully close and tidy up a date needs to be in this field.If there is a better way of doing this now in the system please advise as I’m happy to look at our set up also. Thanks Sarah
This is in IFS apps 10 upd 25, local installation.We have 2 users with the same permissions, same company and site access, same business roles, etc. One has the access in the INVENTORY PART IN STOCK RESERVATIONS to the Move with Transport Task rmb option, and the other doesn’t. Where is the access for these rmb options on that screen set please?The permission sets granted to both users should grant this access already, so why does one user have it and the other not? Is there another setting somewhere within the Procurement part of the system to enable this?Thanks
Hello,Kindly explain me what is the use of enforce use of POCO at Site setup.What happens if we enable or disable it ?Regards,Kruthika
Hi everyone,currently we use system for calculating distribution and production plans (not IFS) (supply, distribution, inventory) and IFS for execution (PO / CO).We are evaluating whether IFS alone could cover more of the planning scope.Could you please clarify whether IFS (and in which modules) supports the following:Distribution planning Planning stock transfers between plants and DCs Deciding from which location to supply demand when multiple sources exist Handling constrained situations (limited stock or supply) Multi-echelon & supply planning Coordinated planning across multiple levels (supplier → plant → DCs → regional DCs) Inventory balancing across echelons Creating time-phased supply plans and sharing what suppliers need to produce and when Multi-sourcing & prioritization Multiple supply sources per item/location Prioritization of demand when goods are insufficient We would especially appreciate insight on whether these capabilities are rule-based or optimizati
When a product structure (With components) header has notes and the components are Buildable, the notes are added to the shop order header as soon as the part is added and the shop order header is saved. Product Structure Header Shop Order Notes This is happening only when components are added to the product structure and it is Buildable. What is the reason for this behaviour? I have seen an explanation for an older version of IFS which states that“Notes on the Product Structure Header are added hoping it contains common information related to the Specific Revision of the product and displayed in the Tracking and History Tab hoping these notes will be useful when manufacturing the product”. In Cloud, this is not observed in tracking or History, instead directly transferred to the shop order notes. Please explain. Thanks!
If the supplier is eligible for tax withholding and all related settings have been made and a default withholding tax code has been defined for the supplier, the tax withholding has not been calculated automatically when the invoice has been raised along with the local Indian taxes i.e. GST (tax calculation structure).
In previous IFS versions we were able to see the value of Closed (status) Lost (state) sales quotations in the Sales Quotations view. In current version 25R1 the total net prices for lost quotations is 0.00 even if there are product lines with values in the lost quotation. Current versions still show values for Closed and Won quotations. Is this is a bug or a change that have been requested? This affect negatively the possibility to deep dive into analyzing sales quotations and specially the lost ones. We have thousands of annual quotations to analyze, and it is not practical to open each quotation separately and combining the quotation value in excels...
Kit Article (25R2):i got a question regarding KIT articles:It doesnt matter which part type the kit article is right?Can be either manufactured or purchased → it will not create any shop order proposals or Purchase Requisition.there are just mrp action proposals which will indicate that there is not enough on stock for exampleKind regards
Hello All,I’m looking for a way to merge two cells into one. Is this possible?The reason I’m asking is that when the part description is too long, the text wraps onto another line, which shifts the Part No. down by one line. I need to find a way to prevent this from happening.You can see in the screenshot below that the Part Description is too long, causing it to wrap onto another line, which shifts the Part No. down by one line.Thanks
Hi everyone,I am looking for guidance or a possible workaround for this business case.My customer uses many kit items (kits manufactured using a standard BOM). These kits are sent to a project location through a customer order.After the project is finished, some items are returned to the warehouse. However, they are not returned as complete kits. Instead, the remaining parts are returned as individual components and put back into stock.How can we handle this in IFS? Instead of using customer orders, I tried using shipment orders and moving the stock to a “Remote Warehouse” (project location). However, I could not find a solution for handling the kit issue this way. If I use RMA to receive the returned components, what should I do with the original kit item at the project location? How can I identify which parts were consumed? Is there any other practical or better way to manage this process?Thanks,Chamath
Hey everyone,We’ve got a requirement to add an address autocomplete feature in IFS Cloud. The idea is to have a field where the user starts typing an address, and as they type, we call Google’s Places Autocomplete API to show suggested addresses. The user should then be able to pick one of the suggestions and save it.Has anyone done something similar before? If so, would love to hear how you approached it. Or if there are any workarounds you’ve used, that’d be great to know too. Just wanted to check here before we start building it out.Thank you in advance for any pointers!
Hi all, We are on 25.1.1 and many users are reporting the web browsers (Edge/Chrome) taking up lots of memory and CPU % with using IFS Cloud. This might be linked to some pages (ex. Shop Order having about 500 material lines), but not in all instances. Here’s an example from a key user:while loading data And once the data loads, the CPU % idles without memory getting offloaded.TIA
Hi All, Looking to see if anyone else has seen about SSL cert validity trending to a shorter length. We currently are on Apps10 and use IEE in the main, with a few REST endpoints.Does anyone have a strategy to reduce the burden on maintenance windows and automate any of this?
In the "Purchase Requisition Lines" screen, the field "Supplier" displays a concatenated value of:Supplier ID – Supplier NameHowever, when exporting data from this screen to Excel, the generated file contains a column named Supplier, but it only includes the Supplier ID. The Supplier Name is completely missing from the export.This behavior is currently reproducible: In all IFS Cloud versions In Aurena Identified previously as a framework limitation Business ImpactA customer has raised the same issue and is not satisfied with the proposed workaround. The workaround suggested creating a custom field, but the customer has explicitly declined this option.Their feedback is as follows:They are intentionally avoiding creating new custom fields due to the highly inefficient and error-prone rebasing process.In IFS 10, they maintained a large number of custom fields, but in IFS Cloud they are implementing these as programmed fields instead.They consider this to be standard functionality, whi
Hello,I was hoping someone could help me with understanding how the Return to Vendor for Credit and Rework works in IFS Cloud.My question really revolves around the differences between Cloud and Apps9.When Returning for Rework in Apps9, the PO Receipt would close, but the PO line would open so it could be registered and received back into inventory on a new receipt. That doesn’t seem to be how it works in Cloud as far as I can tell. I can’t get the parts backed out of inventory and generate a Return Transaction or receive the line back into inventory.Could someone explain the differences to me and what it is I might be missing? Thanks in advance,Andrew
