SLA Commitment - field SLA Template

Hi,In the SLA Commitment screen, there is a field “SLA Template” but the value displayed is the revision (not the SLA Template ID or description) Do you know if there is a plan to show the template id instead in future releases? Thanks.

CRO to be attached to IFS Project Activity

We are using IFS Projects heavily and have found a disappointing set-back that we cannot connect projects to CRO Shop Orders - Disposition or MultiLevel.We also cannot connected the CO created from the CRO SO Repair to a Project activity either.We use Project activity on all our Customer Orders and I am struggling to understand how we seem to be unable to connect projects to CRO repair CO’s

MWO App performance (Android)

We have recently started using MWO (we are also using IFS Cloud 24R2). While we have spent quite some time to ensure a good performance in terms of synchronization, we have received feedback that the user experience is suffering from slowness to navigate within the app.For esp. Android users, pages takes on average ~5 seconds to load, so if you want to report time: From the start page, go to My Work, select an assignment, go to actions, go to time. This will take in total ~20 seconds of pure loading times. Similarly, it takes 20 seconds of loading times to go back to the start page.We have looked at if the performance may be related to the type of Android phone, but even if you are using the latest Android OS, on a flagship phone the issues remain. At the same time, we do not have any complaints from any iPhone users.We have tried to remove any unused functionality such as location tracking, but this has only had a minor impact.Is there anyone that have similar experiences, and any rec

Purchase Lead Time - 5 day working week calendar

When entering a Purchase Lead Time on Inventory Parts (Apps10 and Cloud) we are finding the dates presented confusing. For amendments to the Purchasing Lead Time, whether made in the field below or made on the SFPP Manufacturing Lead Time and then calculated by Calculate Purchase Lead Time, the dates we are getting are as follows ;0 days - 31/03/251 day - 01/04/25 (Tuesday)2 days - 01/04/253 days - 01/04/25 - shown below4 days - 02/04/25The Site Calendar is a 5 day working week calendar and the Primary Supplier also has a 5 day working week calendar, the same as the Site calendar.This pattern is repeated the following week, with the same day (again a Tuesday) being presented for three different lead time days (8, 9,and 10 days).Can someone explain this? How can zero lead time have a supply date of 31/03/25 and a 3 day lead time have a supply date of only one day later? There are no other lead-times in supply chain  matrices.   Thanks.

Query to reproduce data in Engineering Part Navigator >> Multilevel tab

I have been on the search for a while to create a SQL query that will re-produce the same data as the Engineering Part Navigator >> Multilevel tab screen.I think I am close:SELECT PART_NO     , SUB_PART_NO     , POS     , QTY     , LEVELFROM ENG_PART_STRUCTURE_TAB EPSSTART WITH PART_NO = '<<YOUR TOP LEVEL PART NUMBER>>' CONNECT BY PRIORSUB_PART_NO = PART_NOORDER BY LEVEL, PART_NO, SUB_PART_NO One interesting thing is the record count from the above query doesn’t match the record count from exporting the data from the Multilevel tab exactly.  I am going to do some compares to see what might be causing this.If anyone has done this and has input it would be greatly apricated.

COL toast error when using Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date

Getting what we think is an erroneous toast message for date on Customer Order Line when using Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date and Delivery RoutesAttached set up reflects a manufactured Inventory Part with no leadtimes associated with it (no picking leadtimes on site) and a Delivery Route for 1159pmCustomer address has one day transport time and Supply Code on Customer Order line is Shop Order  In the example, entry was on 4/3/25 for a Wanted Delivery Date of 4/4/25 (system generated based on transit time) and Planned Due Date on Customer Order Line was 4/3/25 at 1159pmToast message indicated earliest possible delivery date was 4/5/25 - but the connected shop order reflected a Finish Date of 4/3/25 at 1159pm Why is the system indicating to the user the earliest possible delivery is 4/5/25 when the shop order will be complete on 4/3/25 at 1159pm?

Electronic Signature (E-sign/E-signature) of documents - new feature in IFS Cloud 23R2

I would like to make a small push for a very nice and simple e-sign functionality that was released in IFS Cloud 23R2. It's more or less zero install and zero setup, you can just start using it once you have bought at least one pack of e-sign transactions. Have a look at this video to see how it works:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aed1j9VOPDUAt the time of writing (the latest release in 23R2 but this will apply to 24R1 as well) this feature is limited to Cloud deployment/residency (Remote/on-premise is not supported).Here's also a screenshot of the main user interface, which is the dialog where the user fills in the recipient information:If you are on IFS Cloud and in Cloud deployment, don't hesitate trying this out.A special SKU is needed, that will grant a pack of esign transactions. The customer does NOT need any Adobe licenses of their own.Is this something that is interesting to you as a customer?

Unable to ‘Import Object’ with manually created ‘Transaction Reasons’

Transaction reasons can be used as a control type in posting control FAP4, but the application only allows system-defined transaction reasons to be entered when importing an object. This limits functionality, even though posting controls permit transaction reasons to be used as a control type.It would be better if manually created transaction reasons could also be used when importing objects, as this would help to categorize transactions based on the control type.

IFS Business Reporter Parameter and Parameter Values are not showing on Pivot Table sheet When Running the Report

Hello Experts, We want to create a report using IFS business reporter which includes a pivot table. For this we have first created a flat table on a sheet and the pivot table on another. (Please note we need to create the flat table using report designer and then create a pivot table using excel functions since it is not integrated to business reporter as it was in IFS Business Analytics)We have defined a parameter as Site and want to display it on the report when it is run. For that we have dragged and dropped the parameter name and parameter value from the document action pane to the sheet.  We have done the same for other sheet where we want to see the pivot table, but with a different formatting.  The cell formula for these values are as below. Formula for ‘Site Name’ on flat table sheet Formula for ‘Site Name’ on Pivot table sheet Formula for ‘Site Value’ on flat table sheet Formula for ‘Site Value’ on pivot table sheet  However when we run the report, these values are shown corre

I am trying MSO simulation scenario functionality to demonstrate how the schedule changes according to capacity adjustments.I increased work center capacity in scenario 8 and the results shows below values  I am unable to explain why there is a difference in total orders. I see makespan is different from production to simulation scenario, but this is what system takes automatically. Further, the total orders doesn’t match with sum of schedule and unscheduled orders. Has anybody got any insights here. Thank you.
