We are on IFS Cloud 25.1.2.  Microsoft just forced updated Office to 2507 (19029.20136) which broke our IFS Excel add-ins.  Users that stayed on 2506 are still OK.Issue is, when you click login, the add-in panel briefly flashes and does not bring up the login window for IFS cloud.Anyone else have this issue? 

 We are utilizing Shop Floor Workbench, and will be issuing material point of use.

Hi Community, I am seeking help for an issue I’m experiencing when trying to update values within an existing custom enumeration that has been applied to a custom field. The update does not show on the field after synchronization unless the page designer is open. Here are the steps I take with an example:A custom enumeration exists and is connected to a custom field on the Customer Order screen An update is made to a value in the custom enumeration and the enumeration is synchronized  Navigate back to the customer order screen → The field on the customer order screen with that enumeration does not display the new value (unless page designer is open) Republish the entity configuration, update still does not show. We did not have this issue in Apps10. Has anyone else come across this?

Does anyone have documentation in regards to the IFS Freight Interface for Cloud 21 R1/R2?  Does it still exist?  Is it still ODBC connections or can we use the Web Apps using REST Api calls?

When a person uses Budgeting and Forecasting, they will determine estimates that may or may not match the estimates from the Project (Project Monitoring).  Our customer wants to keep these in sync and is incredulous that we don’t have tools to update the project from the budget/forecast.  At least to the best of my knowledge we don’t.  This forces the user to have to update in Budgeting and Forecasting, then update the project, which can be tedious and prone to error and time consuming.It seems that the logic to update the estimate from the forecast is pretty straightforward.  Has anyone done this?  Is there any move by RnD to add this capability?Thank you./Patrick

Hi all, Do we know why the formula is different for both types of parts (Sales Part and Supplier for Purchase Part) for calculating the Price Quantity? I understand that the following formulas are below: Sales Part formula: Price Quantity = Sales Quantity x Price Conv Factor SFPP formula: Purchase Quantity = Price Quantity x Price Conv Factor So for the sales part, to get the price quantity we multiply, but for the SFPP if we want to calculate the price quantity we have to do the Purchased Quantity divided by the Price Conversion Factor.  Our customer would like to understand the reasonings behind this, any help would be much appreciated :) 

Hi, i have created a new service contract and try to crete one time invoice, but I get this error message. Is there som basic data I have to define? 

Hi everyone,We’re relatively new to IFS at our company and are currently working on improving how we track and report equipment downtime.Recently, we’ve taken some objects out of operation and then brought them back online. However, we’re missing a clear report or overview that shows the actual downtime duration for each equipment. From what we’ve seen so far, there doesn’t appear to be a standard solution in IFS for this.Has anyone implemented a reliable method for tracking equipment downtime in IFS?Any advice, best practices, or pointers to existing functionality would be greatly appreciated!

I have seen the idea with title “Posting Proposal page search/filtering doesn't exist like other Aurena pages” , The explanation to this limitation is the following:The destination page - “Posting proposals” is designed in a different way than regular Aurena pages: it uses functions as the data source for the list element on this page. With this design, the current Aurena framework cannot support search/filtering support for this page. So navigations from the lobby or elsewhere cannot give the desired filtering here. (Note that even the “Search“option is not available for this page) As the posting proposals window is central in all invoice follow up, it is very unfortunate that filtering from lobby element is not working.My question to all you smart people in IFS Community is; Is there a possibility to navigate from lobby element and instruct the Posting Proposal page through parameters to open with a pre-defined search? Best regardsIrene

Good morning.  I am not seeing the Organisation Tree for Employees in the Supervisor Access Setup window.  What could be the reason for this?  I did “uncheck” the fields at the top e.g Only Supervised Organisations.  Thank you.

Hi Experts, I'm using a shipment order to transfer parts from a site to a remote warehouse, however, once I deliver the parts, the incoming dispatch advice is not created for the remote warehouse.

Raised on behalf of G2348461. Hi,We need to understand what is the source of the validation and what IFS is validating in RMB 'Validate Tax ID Number'.Does the logic checks following things:* VAT ID number * Company Name and legal form* AddressWhich data source is used for the validation?How this validation works? Best regardsZuha

Does anyone have experience in overriding the connector instance (mail) on report rules?On the report rule, Route to Connect, I can’t get this to work.If there is a mail sender that is marked as ‘default instance’ it will be used when sending the mail. If there is no default mail sender, IFS will select the first mail sender in alphanumerical order. Which means that if you create a mail sender with name ‘AAA’ it will be used before ‘BBB’.On an event action, of type E-mail, it is possible to override the Mail sender.Is this a bug or am I missing something?In  my testing I have created a very simple report rule, that will trigger each time a specific report is printed - and mail it to me. Not a real world scenario but a simplified example that is easy to test. If I select action ‘Send Email’ I can’t override the mail sender at all, seems to only be available on ‘Route to connect’. 

Hello everyone,I was excited when they announced that in 25R1 users can be granted permissions to execute workflows on projections they normally do not have access to - see here: However I don’t seem to be able to make it work. I have a very simple test workflow run by clicking a button just reading from a projection not normally accessible to the basic user, I granted Internal access (also tried Full access out of frustration) for the workflow for the relevant permission set and I still get the FndProjectionGrant.SRV_NOT_ACCESS error.Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Or were you able to make it work? I couldn’t find any posts on this topic, which suggests to me I might be doing something wrong...

Hi,I am unable to login to the IFS MWO Service App. After entering the server URL, its redirected to the login page, but after entering my username and password, its throwing error :- An error has occurred("error":""code":"ODATA_PROVIDER_ERROR""message":"Aninternal server error occurred,Contact administrator.","details":[("code":"PROJECTION_IMPL_EXCEPTION","message":"")])),  

Hi,Does anybody know if the way IFS handles Estimate Item  > Required Date for components of BOM’s has changed from Apps10 to Cloud?In Apps 10, when I add an Item Type of PRODUCT (Part with BOM) and enter a Required Date, the subcomponent dates are planned. When I perform the same process in Cloud (24R2), my entered Required Date is populated into all sub-components. They are not planned like Apps10. I cannot find any reference to this functionality changing. Does anybody know if and when it was changed? 

This is regarding a customer who is  manufacturing and purchasing Refrigerators mainly. When purchasing refrigerators they buy products from China. Also, they are getting Spare parts also from the same supplier.Ex: Part X is use in refrigerator models A, B  Spare part Finished product model X A,B Y A,C Z C   So, their requirement is when they Search by Spare part – it should show the refrigerator model connected inventory part and vice versa – when search for refrigerator model connected inventory part, it should show the spare parts.This is irrespective of the refrigerator is manufactured or purchased. They don’t have maintenance module in use, meaning no equipment objects defined in the application.  Is there any other way of handling this without using maintenance module spare part handling?

Hi All, Since yesterday we discovered that we are getting failed transactions when we are updating the status of the Work Assignments to any value like accepted or started. The error message is: "Undefined bind variable 'OBJ_VERSION'”We don't know why this is happening and how we can solve it.We were experimenting with Custom Pages and Custom entities to sync it to the MWO, so we reverted all changes once we discovered failed transactions are appearing. So the Page Design, Navigator Design and the Projection for ServiceEngApp are all standard again. However we can't be sure that this error is due to our experiment.Is there anyone who tell is what we should and whether this has been seen before?Extra informationThis is happening for multiple users. Creating Time Transactions is still possible from MWO and updating the description of the Work Task also get's synchronized. It really seems to happen on status updates of the Work Assignment.  

Has anybody configured something in IFS to perform asset pre-start checks?Machine operators should answer a list of questions before starting the machine. We can trigger the questions using eforms and workflow configuration. However, we also need to trigger work orders for the machine for failed checks.   

Hi experts,We’re facing a strange issue with a custom report layout in IFS Cloud (created using IFS Report Designer). The report is designed for portrait orientation with fixed width and height. When we preview the report in IFS and then print from the preview screen, it comes out perfectly in portrait as expected. But when we print the report directly (without preview), it is always printed in landscape. We are using an Epson LQ-310 printer.So far we have: Verified that the report’s page size (width < height) is correctly set in Report Designer. Checked and changed the printer settings  Has anyone else experienced this mismatch between direct print vs preview print orientation? I saw several posts regarding the same issue.Is there a recommended fix either in the layout properties or in the print agent configuration , to force IFS to always print in portrait mode?Any suggestions would be appreciated!

For database tasks parameters comes automatically based on definition. But  I want to use custom parameter for that same method call. For example, I want to call   ACTIVE_SEPARATE_API.MOVE_TO_HISTORY method but instead of  WO_NO_ as a parameter, I want to run this method for all the work order having work type “Preventive Maintenance”. So I want to add WORK_TYPE_ID_ as a parameter. How to do it?
