Hello IFS friends -  We have a new IFS company and site that were effective 1/1/25.  The accounting periods start with year 2025.  In January, we transferred inventory from an existing site to the new site.  When we run the aggregate inventory transactions on the new site for period 1 2025, the job errors out.  Error text is “no period exists for date 31-DEC-24 in company 14 ORA-20110:AccountingPeriod NOYEAR1”.  I could add a period 12 for 2024 on the new company but I am concerned this might cause other issues (consolidation?).  Any idea why it needs a 2024 date for this process to work for 2025? Any idea on clearing the error?We are on IFS10 update 25.Thanks

Will someone please explain to me the purpose of an Inventory Part Revision? Note: We do not use the engineering part functionality.

I tried to create a layout using report studio for a newly created report. then I got the error below, designing tools are not visible.. 

We currently have an issue where it is possible in IFS Cloud to submit cancellation requests for absences that lie in the past, but these requests can no longer be processed by the supervisors. As a result, the requests remain in the system as unprocessed indefinitely.

Hi,I’m seeking some guidance on Report Studio. This looks like a good tool for working with report layouts within IFS Cloud. I have picked up that there might be some limitations when working with custom fields and possibly with printing of these .rep reports. Can anyone share their experience on these limitations?Also, I checked the 24R2 and 25R1 Roadmap and do not see Report Studio mentioned.  Should we expect updates to the Report Studio functionality in upcoming Releases and/or Service Updates?Thanks

But the defects is identified in shop floor, and QA would like to return the product to have them replaced by the supplier.We have 2 options currenly in our mind. which one is the best practice or you have other good idea?open PO and relevant receipt, register inspection result to Return for Rework, return the defect product back to supplier and wait for supplier send in the replacement. Once done, close the PO. open PO and relevant receipt, register inspeciton result to Return for Credit, return the defect product back to supplier.

Hi,May I know if there is any way to use LEFT_TRIM and RIGHT_TRIM together in an external file template?I am trying to remove both leading and trailing spaces from the Account field in an external voucher upload.When I apply both functions together, only the second function works.For example, if I use LEFT_TRIM as the first function and RIGHT_TRIM as the second, only RIGHT_TRIM is applied, and LEFT_TRIM is ignored.Thanks in advance.  

In our setup we’re looking for the simplest way to regularly invoice a software license in IFS Cloud.Real-world scenario:We sell a software license that renews automatically every year and gets invoiced quarterly.Technically in IFSC:software license is represented with a non-inventory configurable sales part Service Contracts can trigger regular creation of Work Orders Request Contracts can trigger regular creation of RequestsThat’s why we’re wondering — what is the best and simplest way in IFS Cloud to handle recurring invoicing for something like a software license?And if the product is a non-inventory configurable sales part, how does that affect the setup or available options?Would love to hear how others have implemented similar recurring revenue models in IFS Cloud.

I am looking for users in Service that use Call Center Cases as well as Service Managment Requests. Especially for remote support we would like to get some real life experience of what to use when and from that derive proper simple work instructions. E. g.  Customer calls → always create a case → if it leads to an invoice create a Request out of it (in the upcoming releases, the linking will probably be much easier) of alternative Always create a Request → if it needs internal escalation to other departments create a Case out of it, capture the hours on the way and invoice the request at the end.Anyone in a similar situation? Ideally in combination with mobile apps?

HI Folks, We have just launched our first plant in IFS Cloud (24R2) and are learning that using the IFS system as designed results in very slow throughput time for us to reserve, gather, scan, confirm , etc.  all the steps to put parts onto a truck and out the door.  Has anyone out there felt the same and found a faster approach? 

What am I missing here? For some reason I cannot grant Part catalog right to any Permission Set. IFS version is IFS 10 Update 25. I can see Part Catalog here in Database Objects  But it’s not here (is it supposed to be here under the Master Part to be available for grant). One user showed that he had Part Catalog under Master Part, but I cannot remember the submenu aymore, and it might have been dragged from other menu.  

Am I correct in saying for posting control M28 and Non Inventory Sales Part the only option is “Sales Group”. As “Sales Group” is heavily linked to Sales Discounts its causing me issues meaning I would have to create hundreds of entries, when we only post to 5 accounts. The system seems geared to postings around customer and transaction types, but not many options around the part istelf.

Could someone explain under which conditions these postings are created? We have some trouble understanding the mathematics of these postings and I have tried to provoke the system to produce them in a test environment. But so far I have failed.  My test cases are built upon serial tracked parts with Weighted Average, Cost per Part or Cost per Condition, and Distribution Orders between sites in the same company. NB that the same parts and sites have resulted both in INTORDTR transactions with ORDTREVAL postings and without such postings. 

This diagram only illustrates the workflow steps and does not explain the logic and also in the video there are various price management techniques defined but not really the difference in the output is reflected so can you give a real world example showing the major difference.
