IFS Solutions

Hello,We are currently using IFS Cloud in our company. I would like to develop an internal mobile application to make frequently used processes (such as material requests) easier and more practical for field usage.How can I integrate this mobile application with IFS?Where can I access the API information and documentation for our environment?Additionally, is it possible to securely write transactions from the mobile application directly to our IFS server without issues?I would also appreciate any further recommendations regarding mobile development best practices with IFS Cloud.Thank you in advance.

There is a popup that comes up everytime an employee is added to a project, after their first project.  Is there a way to disable this popup?  

I have a couple of clients in 25R1 that are using or want to use Visual Shop Order Operations Planning to drag and drop operations from a  workcenter to another workcenter;  However, we are finding a few oddities:We have resources within a workcenter that are blocked yet the resources still appear in the Gannt chart.  Why? The calendar has definite time periods per day that the operations can be assigned .  However, Gannt chart still shows the full 24 hours.  Can we filter out th enon-working time and if so, how? How can I filter out particular work centers so I don’t even see them as them on the Gannt.chart even though the work center is active?Thanks!

We are trying to edit the Recent Transactions toggle in Project Transactions (Project Management>Reporting>Project Transactions) on to default is off.  I haven’t been able to find this setting to edit, has anyone had success in trying to change this default setting?

In the IFS Product documentation, it is stated that the general rating for the supplier will be generated and updated based on the outcome of the selected evaluation. In other words, the overall score obtained from the evaluation will correspond to a specific rating that will be assigned to the supplier.  Note that it mentions “the selected” evaluation but does not indicate how an evaluation can be selected. I have done the rating and evaluation value mapping in the Supplier Rating screen. Then I have done a Supplier Peformance Evaluation and published it after the results were generated. But the Supplier’s SRM tab does not reflect the general rating based on the mappings defined in Supplier Rating. Am I missing something? TIA

Hello everyone, We are currently in the process of automating the customer reminder process and want to use the Event Action Send Email for this. We would also like to personalise the email for the customer as much as possible (which we consider to be a minor requirement 😊 ), i.e. the customer number and customer name should appear in the subject line.Now that doesn't seem like such a small request, and we haven't been able to manage it.😑We are unable to proceed with the values in the conditions in the ‘Event Action Details’ screen. However, I sincerely hope that the issue is on the screen side 🙄 and that it is quite simple to resolve. Can anyone help us please?    

Is there any documentation on the plot setting tab  of the scheduling settings in the advanced planning board. I was exploring the Characteristic Code Values, but I don’t know what the exact “codes” are and what to use to make it work correctly.. I was wondering if there instructions or a list to go off to code? 

When in Project Management>Plan and Execute>Project Scope and Schedule, the ability to search disappears once a project is expanded.   Does anyone know if you can display a Search function once inside an expanded project?  Please see attached screen grabs for clarification.  

We are using IFS Applications 10 with Approval Templates for Purchase Orders. I would like to understand how an approval decision can be revoked once an approver has already taken a decision.In our approval setup, there are multiple approval steps. When one of the approvers rejects the Purchase Order, we correct the issue or query in the PO and attempt to resend the approval. Although the system allows us to add another approval step, the previously rejected step remains locked, and the same approver is not allowed to take a new decision. please clarify whether it is possible to fully restart the approval process after a rejection so that all approvers, including the one who rejected earlier, can approve again? If this is not possible, please confirm the standard and recommended approach in IFS Applications 10 for handling such scenarios.

Hello, I would ask you a question, it is possible to add Custom Field, or Custom Object to the entity “InventoryPartsAvailabilityPlanning”?

I am using the ReceiveEinvoiceService.svc to create External Supplier Invoices.  My desire is to send all the necessary information (Header, Lines, Taxes, Charges, Purchase Orders) to IFS so that a Posting Proposal / Manual Supplier Invoice can be generated.   Sadly, the endpoints at the ReceiveEinvoiceService.svc only supports sending a limited properties.  I have to call the ExternalSupplierInvoiceTaxInformationHandling.svc manually in order to configure the individual Tax Codes on the External Supplier Invoice.  Additionally, I have to call ExternalSupplierInvoiceLineInformationHandling.svc to update the Lines with the Purchase Part Description, whether it is a Charge Line or not, and the total tax from the tax detail.Once I am done configuring the External Supplier Invoice, I have to call the ExternalSupplierInvoicesHandling.svc to check and create endpoints in order for the Posting Proposal / Manual Supplier Invoice to be generated.My code / flow works fine currently except for 1

Has anyone ever integrated with Esker and if so, what were the integration points ?Thanks for rapid responses!

The only thing I was able to find is: IFS Cloud Technical DocumentationI'm looking for something with more details and some real examples.What helps me is to use Basic Search first,then switch to Advanced Search to see how it is used:However, some documentation would be useful.

Hello.My understanding isthat the Promised Delivery Date on a Customer Order Line should stay as is if the order/line is confirmed.I have created this order and confirmed.I then change the target date to 08/06/2026, I expected the Planned Delivery Date and the Planned Ship Date to align, however expected the Promised Delivery Date to be kept. Is my understanding wrong?

We are using MRO in IFS Apps 10, mainly for Component Repair Orders and Complex Assembly.We are facing an issue where costs for Component Repair Orders (Customer-Owned parts) are correctly accumulated in WIP, but are not transferred to COGS when the related Customer Order is invoiced. As a result, our finance team has to manually move WIP to COGS.Current ProcessOur standard process is: Create Component Repair Order (Customer-Owned part). Book material and labor → costs are posted to WIP (working correctly). Create Sales Line manually in Component Repair Order. From CRO, use RMB option “Create Customer Order” and transfer sales lines. System automatically creates Customer Order and Customer Order Line. Invoice is posted and paid. Observed IssueWhen the Customer Order Line is created automatically, the ownership is always set to Company-Owned, even when the Component Repair Order is Customer-Owned.We have verified: Demand Code = Component Repair Order Ref1 = Component Repair

Hello,In earlier versions of IFS, it would prevent you from cancelling or incompleting work assignments in IFS, IF they existed on the engineers device (IFS MWO). This logic has been changed in IFS Cloud, and the functionality is now possible. However this then creates more issues in that we receive lots of failed transactions on a daily basis due to back office cancelling assignments when they are still on the IFS MWO app. Since IFS are unlikely to reverse the logic to enforce the validation again, I was wondering if anyone can provide guidance on the logic required to create our own custom event to prevent cancellation/incomplete in IFS Cloud, IF the assignment is still transferred to the engineer? ThanksShaun

 Hello,I am in production at my client's site. He upgraded yesterday to version 25R1, and I am getting this error message when receiving an OF. Have you ever seen this message before?  ORA-01400: impossible d'insérer NULL dans (\"IFSAPP\".\"SO_COST_DISTRIBUTION_TMP\".\"COST_BUCKET_PUBLIC_TYPE\")"}]

What are the challenges in 25R1?

Hello,I have the following requirement for a customer, and need some help! If a Non-Inv Purchase Part is entered in the PR line, the Part Description field should cleared out or left empty so that the user can enter a new description and then be able to save the line. There’s a condition to consider, if Inventory Part = true, nothing should happen, the line must save as normal. If Inventory Part = false, the Part Description should be cleared out as previously mentioned. I created the following BPA workflow. I added a API Read task to read the Description, followed by a Script task to set the Description field as null, finally an API task to update the field. However, it’s not working. When deployed, I added a PR line, entered a Non-Inv PP and it shows an error saying the Description can’t be null, but the Description field isn’t cleared out. It shows the original value. Has anyone managed to clear or leave a mandatory field empty?

We observed, in Cloud 24R2, that in GL Voucher Rows Analysis, the code part fields are all clustered together and it would not be possible to insert a different column between them and have the columns exported to Excel that way. We can, for example, use Column Chooser to put Amount after Cost Center, but when exporting the results to Excel, this column ordering is not enforced, instead all code string columns are in order together. Furthermore, we could not place fields in between the code string fields within page designer, as code string is it’s own group. Are we missing something, or is not possible to export results from here with columns in between the code string columns?
