Hi,   We’re having a lot of trouble with our Start Pages/Saved Searches in Apps 10 UPD4 (happened before UPD4 as well). They load fine at first, but if a user tries to refresh them (after a few minutes), they return ?’s instead of the number of hits.   This is just one example, but it happens on many queries/profiles/permission sets/start pages/etc:   I created a test start page with a simple query (I believe it’s simple, anyway, I’m unfortunately not very knowledgeable with SQL)   The first time I opened this test start page, it loaded fine (all 1’s for the result).  Now when I refresh after about 10-15 minutes of waiting on this screen, some will error out:     This happens on start pages that don’t have duplicates like this, if that matters.   Here are some of the errors from the debug console:   3 of those four error messages are the “An item with the same key has already been added”.   This is how fast it runs when it’s working the way it should:     This is after waiting 10-ish m

I’m having difficulty locating where historical forecast data resides in the Demand Forecast module within IFS Cloud. I know that Adjusted Forecast information is stored in the FORECAST_FLOW_DAY_PUB table, but is there a specific table that can be queried to retrieve historical demand data?

Hello team, I looking to see if there is a way we can configure IFS only issue/backflush material that is in the Work Center’s Inbound location for a shop order? I’ve tried updating the the Work Center Outside Reserve/Backflush to Not Allowed (this option will not allow shop order reservations until they are moved to Inbound location) and Reserve Only (this option will allow me to reserve from where I would like but does not stop me from issuing material that is not in the inbound locations). Thanks in advance! 

Is there a standard standard template/format to use if auto extracting info from PDFs and uploading into IFS for Supplier/Purchase invoices?

Which versions of Outlook is the CRM Panel compatible with?We work with IFS Cloud on premise. 

Hello, When posting a number of invoices, we receive the error message below. This occurs when posting invoices from contractors. Strangely enough, it does not occur with all invoices from contractors. I have checked the suppliers, projects and parts. All of them have been ruled out because other invoices from contractors contain the supplier, projects and/or parts and are posted without an error message.I don't understand what triggers the error message, because all the currencies we use are valid in the Currency Rates screen. Are you familiar with this message and do you have a solution for it?The error occurs when we do Purchasing > Match PO Receipts in the menu Posting Proposal. We are on Apps10 Update 29. 

Hello IFS Community,We’ve encountered an issue when using the .rep layout in a Report Rule with the action “Check In To Document Management”. Specifically, the Document Revision is not created or attached to the ProjectInvoice object when the .rep layout is used.In contrast, when using the .rdl layout in the same Report Rule, the Document Revision is successfully created and attached to the ProjectInvoice object.The Report Rule configuration remains unchanged between tests—only the layout name differs. Both layouts (.rdl and .rep) generate PDF results in the Report Archive, and the Report Rule Log confirms that the rule is triggered in both cases.Does anyone know why the .rdl layout works for creating Document Revisions, while the .rep layout does not? Could it be a configuration we’re missing?I’ll attach step-by-step for re-creating this.Best regards,Dana Husebø

Once a PO is released and we want to add another PR using purchase order change order, even though PR is connected to a project, it’s giving error that line needs to be connected to projects and in POCo there is no project number, there is sub project etc. in iFS. What could be the issue. Original PO is connected to the same project as is in the PR that we using to o do POCO. 

I am attempting to auto approve absence requests in IFS. When a absence request comes in it is set to “Confirmed” status. I would like for it to be changed to “Approved”. I set the “Selection” parameter that is required to change the absence request state to approved, but it seems like it is not accepting the “keyref” key for the selection value. To verify I concatenated my own “KeyRef” value that matches “keyref” shown in the screenshot below. Still I receive json invalid error message. Do you think I should raise a ticket with IFS support for this? How do you pass the keyref as the selection parameter? Dev tool capture of approved holiday request (absence request)ERROR in Workflow when passing my own concatenated KeyRef value matching keyref: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-40441: JSON syntax error ORA-06512: at "SYS.JDOM_T", line 4 ORA-06512: at "SYS.JSON_ARRAY_T", line 102 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.ABSENCE_MANAGER_HANDLING_SVC", line 13795 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.ABSENCE_MANAGER_HANDLING_SVC"

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, Please recommend the most suitable IFS forecasting tools for projecting demand over the next six months, taking into account historical demand patterns. Thank you in advance. Br//Ajith

Description:We are working with our implementation partner to strengthen Sub‑Contract controls in IFS. Several controls appear to be standard governance expectations (similar to PO behavior) but are currently absent or only available through manual steps. Before proceeding with bespoke work, we’d like to validate whether these are standard features, planned roadmap items, or should be considered a product gap/defect.Controls required:1. One‑click Approval Initiation (UI):“Approvals” button on Sub‑Contract main screen; “Approve Revision” button on Revision & Items screen (not under Attachments).2. Automatic Activation Post Approval:Sub‑Contracts and Revisions auto‑activate immediately after all approvals are complete (no manual intervention).3. Automatic Project Commitment on Activation & Remove Call‑Off:On activation, auto‑commit full amounts to the linked project; remove the Call‑Off step/tab to mimic PO behavior.4. Valuation Gating by State:Block valuation creation unless Sub

For documents generated by IFS, you can assign certain Phrases per Document Type and that works very well. Now, there is also a new module 'procurement clause types' in which you can assign clauses per supplier, project, part, activity, ... So, I suspect that with this functionality, instead of determining a few clauses per document type, you can do this more specifically for all documents relating to a particular supplier/project/part, for example. Steps to take are:Create a procurement clause type. Create phrases linked to this clause type. Create clause connection rules, to determine when the clause should appear on a document.After trying all these steps, I don’t seem to manage to view the clause on the documents.Are there certain extra steps to undertake/settings to change for this module to work?

Community,On work task line, you can see the current pre posting for cost center is set. if I changed the object ID, i would like the cost center in Pre Posting being changed automatically by a designated cost center value. my question would be, how to connect the cost center to object ID? Thank you. 

Dear Community! Is there a smart way to register partial sick leave in IFS?  For Example: the employee has 50% sick leave, the normal working time is 8,4h per day. So he/she should only work 4,2 hours per day and the rest is on sick leave.  Thank you in advance, Veronika

Dear IFS R&D Team,We are currently using IFS APP10 Transport Order solution to manage goods movements between onshore and offshore sites. As we plan to move to IFS Cloud next year, we are evaluating the Shipment Order solution (25R2).During this evaluation, we identified several gaps in IFS Cloud compared to the APP10 Transport Order functionality. We would appreciate your advice on available workarounds and whether these gaps are planned to be addressed in future releases.1. Movements within the same site In APP10, Transport Orders support bulk movement of parts (including project materials) between onshore–onshore or offshore–offshore locations.In IFS Cloud, this is not supported via Shipment Orders, and Move Inventory Part is not suitable for bulk moves. Can Transport Tasks be used instead? Do Transport Tasks support replication? (We have not set up replication yet.) 2. Movements between different companiesIn APP10, Transport Orders allowed us to move parts from the project co

Hi, The automatic tolerance posting creation on the Posting Proposal when a PO is matched against an invoice with a different price doesn’t seem to work in Cloud 25.1. Or may be we are missing something. Could someone assist to verify what is missing? I have tested this for POs with an Inventory Part line, Non Inventory part line and a No part line as well. Non of the scenarios created automatic tolerance posting lines on the Posting Proposal. Here is an example from a No Part Line PO matched against an Invoice with a different price:The Tolerance is enabled on the Supplier for PO Matching on the Invoice tab:  On the company level too, the following setup is done:A PO with a no part line exists for 20000 sek in Closed status:The Invoice is Created for 20009 sek which is within the allowed tolerance amount. The Match PO Receipts per line is performed and the PO Receipt is matched. The Remaining amount is shown as 9 as below: However, no automatic tolerance posting is created using M93 e

Hi,We recently noticed an issue, whereby Attachments cretaed on the system, end up as a record with no File Path or BLOB data. As a result, the attachment is not useable.  It happens frequently enough to be a concern, but also the majority of Attachments get created without any issue. Its just the occasional one. Any clues as to what may cause this? Thanks,Martin

Hi there 😀. The indicatior “create SM object” will create a serial object. My question is for the rental process:Doesn’t the CO in rental create a serial object? Reason is, that during the rental process service processes are needed and the asset should be available as SO. Thanks in advance again 😁

Hi all,When I release a DOP order, a Shop Order is automatically created. However, in some cases, this Shop Order immediately gets the status “Completely Reported” .I’ve noticed that in the originating DOP order, all material lines have a required quantity of 0.Also: Netting is not used in this case The required quantity for the manufactured part is set to 1 in the upper level of the structure Has anyone experienced this before or knows which setting or condition could cause this behavior?And more importantly, how can this be prevented?Kind regards,WillemLevel 1  required qty for the part wherefor i expect a shop order is created= 1: Level 2 all materials lines for the sub assembly for which a shop order is created in the status completely reported:   

We created a group payment for the ISO20022 payment method with multiple external payments and two intercompany transactions. The payment file and the return file from the bank has the two intercompany transactions in the xml file. After matching, the two IC transaction amount is booked against an external supplier as Supplier payment on account (SUPOA). What might be the issue ? Are we allowed to group external and intercompany payments?

Hi,Does anyone have any video content or links to content demonstrating how POKA is used as part of a Preventative Maintenance program in a manufacturing organisation?We have recently acquired this software and are looking for how we would use it in our organisation.RegardsJohn

I am in the process of introducing kanban-circuits for a certain product line of ours. The Product Structures contain some parts with serial tracking “At Receipt and Issue”.If we want to satisfy the serial tracking, we need to scan the parts somewhere in the process.If that happens in the assembly line, we can use kanban-circuits but we lose time in manufacturing, because scanning of some of the parts is not trivial.If the scanning happens in the warehouse, we can not use kanban and we create work in the warehouse, which we wanted to relieve by introducing kanban in the first place.Does anyone have experience with kanban/serial tracked parts and ran into a similar problem?How did you solve it?
