End user view finally posted invoices

Hi Have a problem that we haven't find a proper solution; I guess there is other with similar issues, maybe someone has solved it? We have enabled “Finally Posted Supplier Invoices Analysis” to the end users, this window is working very well. Currently, they can only see what they have approved. Now the problem; we have a group of users that would like to see each other invoices, as they work in the same department and same authorization. Currently, this is not possible, with above window. We have tried with some other ways, but then the end-user will see all invoices within that company, and that is not the right solution (and not allowed according to our process.)   /Karl Linder

Naming of PDFs for Customer Invoice

Hello, I’ve a customer with the requirement that he wants to define the naming of a PDF document (e. g. customer invoice) by himself. If in IFS a PDF is automatically created then the naming is like “PDF46549877987…..” for the PDF file. Is it possible in IFS to define the namings of in IFS created PDF files?

Kanban and Availability Codes

Customer needs to use Kanban but don't want it to move any stock with any Availability Code on that stock. Customer knows there is a setup within Availability Code to "Not Allow" on Part Movement Control, but don't want to stop moving items with an Availability Code. Customer just don't want Kanban to use that stock. Is this something has seen before and is there any way round it. How does it work in IFS10?

Tip: Stopped Oracle Queues

When you do an Oracle Export/Import (and some other operations) the Oracle Queues will become disabled. In this state the application can’t enqueue or dequeue messages from it. If the application tries to do those operation it will end up with an Oracle Exception. If you see these errors you would need to go to IFS Solution Manager -> Monitoring ->Oracle Queues -> Oracle Queues and start the queue mentioned in the error message   See LCS Solution 275872

Task Status Work Flows

Hi All, In IFS 6.3, there is a screen - “ Task Status work flows” and it is used to configure statuses in mobile applications. As per the description, it works only on the mobile client. Can anyone guide on how to do the same in FSM Back end client where only next possible status are shown instead of the entire list? Thanks, Shankar

Prevent timeout during Application Server clone?

When restoring an Application Server clone to create a new environment using restore_clone -instance=<NewInstance> we often - but not always - run into a timeout that prevents the process from completing cleanly.  Seems to happen around the 1 hour mark. We have removed all of the CPU and RAM load that we can possibly do on the server and the machine is nowhere near fully utilized (only around ~20% on both while the restore is in process) but the issue remains. Does anyone know if it is possible to extend the timeout threshold during the restore process to clone an AS cleanly? This is with Apps10 UPD5. Here's the output from a failed attempt and timeout: C:\IFS\EBUPD5>.\restore_clone -instance=EBUPD5 Dec 13, 2019 3:07:25 PM ifs.application.installer.util.main.CloneMain restoreDomain INFO: Changing instance Dec 13, 2019 3:07:25 PM ifs.application.installer.util.main.CloneMain restoreDomain INFO: Creating MW Home..

Values which exist for attachment.internal_type in task attachments

Any idea what values the column internal_type in table attachment resides? Which is not a UI column. So far only noted the value SIGNATURE which comes for technician/customer signature attachments. Was not able to confirm the remaining values that may exist in the ATTACHMENT.ITERNAL_TYPE column (apart from signature). I could see an entity ATTACHMENT_INTERNAL_TYPE which resides under FSM codes, that has only SIGNATURE as a code value. Could this be it though the column names slightly differ, any thoughts please?

Regarding behavior of entities with attachments.internal_type = SIGNATURE in task attachments

Thought of sharing the following upon some recent questions received from a project regarding task attachments. Could be helpful if anyone has the same doubts, also to please contribute to the discussion as there are still few doubts unconfirmed as mentioned in latter. The situation was that customer have had around seven attachments attached to a task with INTERNAL_TYPE = ‘SIGNATURE’ and there was a doubt why they could not see those seven attachments in the device and how the INTERNAL_TYPE gets fetched. And whether they can manually add attachments which has INTERNAL_TYPE = SIGNATURE. See inputs below, It is correct the customer signature attachments should not be visible in mobile for the technician. The reason is technician should not have the authority to edit/remove the customer signature. The customer/technician signatures will be stored in attachments having value as ‘SIGNATURE’ in INTERNAL_TYPE column in database (not visible in UI). This is not controlled in sync rules but fr

Tip: Private Temporary tables in Oracle

There are two types of temporary tables in Oracle. They are Global temporary tables and Private temporary tables.   Private Temp Tables:   Private temp tables exist from oracle 18C onwards. They exists in the memory and do not have physical objects in the database. They exists during the session and after a re-login or in a new session it will not exists. Following syntax can be used to create a private temporary table.   CREATE PRIVATE TEMPORARY TABLE ora$ptt_customer ( customer_id NUMBER, name VARCHAR2(20) ) As you can see we have to use ora$ptt identifies when creating a private temp table. If we want to remove the table after the commit we have to use the  “ON COMMIT PRESERVE DEFINITION” definition and if we want to remove it after the commit we can use “ON COMMIT DROP DEFINITION” clause. Advantages: The advantages of having these private temp tables is we dont have the hedache of removing tables after a technical investigation. And also we can use these tables to insert important

Embedded Work Order Print out with barcode

We are trying to add a barcode for the work order number to print on the embedded work order copy.  They look fine in the crystal report designer, but when viewing them in IFS, the barcode either shrinks to a size that is too small to scan or it disappears entirely, all depending on the font size used for the barcode in the crystal report. We tried a different barcode font to try and installed it on the Windows server. We restarted the server to ensure the font installed properly. We tried different things in the crystal report to try to make it work, but nothing worked. We have tested and we can successfully print and scan barcodes on a Quick Report. Therefore there is something about the process that IFS uses when exporting the embedded reports to PDF that is causing the barcode formatting problem Anyone have a similar issue?   Apps 9

MRB VS Control Plan

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advise and real live example of the usage of MRB VS Control Plan. We are in the process of developing a solution for our QA inspection in IFS and our consultant recommends MRB instead of Control Plan. I am hoping someone can help me understand when should MRB be used in place of Control Plan.   Thanks

How do I track what Lots went with each Shipments?

I will take an order for 96,000 lbs and will have multiple shipments against that 1 line.  How do I know which lots went with each shipment?  I have checked Lot Batch History and this shows all Lots for the Customer Order, not the individual shipments.

Mass update of Price on Sales Part record

Hello - we are on version 9, update 8 and would like to mass update the price & price incl tax fields on the sales part record.  We did notice there is the ability to “Update base prices” & “Update unit based price lists” & “Update sales price lists from base prices”, but there does not seem to ability to update prices on sales parts.  Has anyone else run into this and what was the solution?  This seems like a common request that any company would like to do.     Thanks!
