Subject: Material Allocation & Nesting Approach – Feedback Request IFS Version: 25R2Industry: Metal fabrication for façades (curtain walls) Business ContextLarge curtain wall manufacturing projects are initiated using architectural drawings, which do not contain finalized manufacturing details.This creates a challenge, as metal extrusions must be procured well in advance, before detailed engineering drawings are completed.However, based on architectural drawings, the customer can estimate material requirements and proceed with initial purchasing, for example:  1000AL201H-5M – Aluminum Bar (H type, powder coated, 5m) – 60 pcs 1000AL201H-6M – Aluminum Bar (H type, powder coated, 7m) – 70 pcs 1000AL201U-10M – Aluminum Bar (U type, powde

Hi IFS Community!I’ve been tasked with hunting down why a Scheduled Database Task for process Mrp_Process_API.Schedule_Mrp_Process__ keeps ending with a status of ‘Error’. The Error Text field has a notice “This background job was set to state Error because the executing Oracle process was killed. ( Detected by cleanup process at 2025-01-08-23.49.11 )”. I’ve checked out a few other Community posts noting that the Light Cleanup process may be responsible, but the Light Cleanup job was posted / started executing 2 seconds after the time reported in the MRP background job. The last bit of output in the background job is:“Site X MS Calculation for MS parts that have received exploded demand started at 20250108 21:36:24”I’ve checked out the Oracle Alert log and other background jobs executing around the same time that the process was killed, but the only thing that I see being suspicious is this entry in the Oracle Alert log:2025-01-08T23:54:59.981027-06:00

Hi there IFS Community!I have a hopefully interesting issue that I’d like a larger audience in reviewing. I received a request to expose the field CORPORATE_FORM, associated with the CustomerInfo LU on the Customers overview screen (Presentation Object ID tbwCustomerInfoOverview). I can see that there’s the option to make a mandatory field in the Properties > Mandatory tab, but no option to expose it via the column chooser.Is this normal behavior for this overview screen, or would I need to make “dumb” custom read-only fields to expose these fields? Other read-only custom fields are presentable just fine, so it has me a tad puzzled on whether I’m missing something, or need to bite the bullet and make this a “recursive” read-only field.Customers overview aware of Corporate Form field Corporate Form not available in

Is there a way to have one request contract  and tie it to multiple Recurring Service Programs with differing customers?  We had planned on using request contracts for our rental program where thru the course of an service object’s life, the object is either at a customer location or in house location. Below is an example of what we are trying to achieve. Service object PC4500-80-10017728 is a ‘Company Rental Asset’ The object is tied to 2 parties, the internal customer and an external customer.  As time progresses as this object goes on rent and off rent there will be multiple more Party’s.  The object’s location is currently at the external party’s location.

Hello,We are getting an error message about a cost bucket that we have set up, but have never really used in the past.  We have it set up on one site but the error message says we need that same cost bucket set up on another site because inventory is being transferred between the two.  When I try add cost bucket 111 (the one suddenly being used) I am getting an error ‘’Ids in the range of 0-999 for cost elements and Cost Buckets are reserved for future use’’. I am trying to figure out how to tell what is calling for cost bucket 111. Nothing on the part seems to be pulling to that cost bucket and I’m stuck in the error messages.  Does anyone happen to know where I should look to see why cost bucket 111 is suddenly being used? Thanks!

Hi All, I get this error “Cannot find model file” when deploying a fragment file with dependents: Here’s what i tried:I did a codebase search of “PromoActivityLov” but there were no hits in the workspace or the build folder.I looked at the projection svc, client cpi and the metadata docs to see if there were any occurrences there but I couldn't find any.I deleted the entire cache folder of developer studio (AppData\Roaming\DeveloperStudio\18\) and redeployed the fragment but the error is still there. Any other options left to resolve this? because I’m stumped at this point. Any help is appreciated thanks!(FYI, the fragment file is in RMCOM) thanks,/Sayuru

Hi everyone,We are currently using IFS Applications 10 and we are looking for a way to automate our Cash Flow Forecast process.Currently, we are refreshing/generating the forecast manually, but we would like to schedule this task to run automatically (e.g., every night or at specific intervals) so the data is always up-to-date when the finance team starts their day.I have a few questions regarding this: Is there a standard Scheduled Database Task available for refreshing Cash Flow Forecast data? If so, what is the exact name of the task? Are there any specific parameters or "Snapshot" settings we should be aware of when running this as a background job? If a direct scheduled task is not the recommended way, what are the best practice alternatives for automating the cash flow refresh in App 10? Any guidance or screenshots of the setup w

Hello everyone,I would like to better understand how Read Type and Read Type Validation work in IFS FSM, specifically in the context of the Meter Readings table.However, I still have some questions:What is the exact role of Read Type within the Meter Readings table? How does Read Type Validation work when validating these readings? What kind of rules are typically applied? Are these validations configurable? If so, where are they defined? Are there any best practices for using these concepts in meter reading scenarios?If anyone can share practical examples or official documentation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Community,we are experiencing a strange UI behavior in ACL Designer when using the dark theme.The text on this page is displayed in black, which makes the content very hard (almost impossible) to read. This issue seems to be limited to the ACL Designer page only.Has anyone encountered a similar issue?Are there any known workarounds or configuration options, or is switching users to the light theme currently the only solution?We use Application service update: 25.1.5 and Framework service update: 25.1.10Thanks in advance for any insights!  

Hi,I’m trying to create a Quicksight Report using Query Designer on a custom Entity. The query runs fine but when I try to generate the report I get a cryptic error.“Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'bytes')”I tried to remove my parameter and hardcoded a filter but I get the same result. Tried to correct some permissions but I get the same thing with IFS_ALL.IFS Version: 25R2Am I missing something? The report is extremly basic, just trying to print some data. Report Layout (WoNo & TaskSeq are from JtTask, CF:s are from custom entity)Here is the filter from the query:I also have a basic join, but I tri

Hi There,Does anyone know how MRP_HORIZON_IN_DAYS is calculated?or which date is used as the reference point for this calculation? I am following up the case below.CS0503047I found that there is a comment from IFS side on April 9th, but they would like to know more detail because they need to verify if this parameter changes will not impact on their business operation or not. Hence they were requesting us to provide the technical document and Shiromal-san is communicating to R&D team. I am not sure if we can get the document and able to share it but at least, they would like to know which date (the exact date) is utilized for the calculation. Since our customer is planning to have Golive on May 11th and the judgement meeting is next week (April 21th) hence. This MRP slow response is one oof the bottleneck of passing criteria even though it is customer matter.  I would appreciate it if we can g

Hi All, I have this scenario what I cannot figure how to set-up and support, either in core or with a CRIM.. The customer has products, planned according MTO and use DOP in IFS for 6 levels. The Top Product has a leadtime of 5 days and multiple operations.The componets are connected to operations, planned demand spread over the 5 days routing. All sub-assemblies and purchase parts are backward planned according to start date of each DOP Order Operation/Shop Order Operation. Now to the issue.I want all sub-assemblies to be planned the week before start date of the Top Shop Orders. Equal “gap” between 1st level sub-assemblies to 2nd level sub-assemblies and so on. I have multiple operations but one work center per level which means that I cannot use Queue time as the add queue time for all operations. I cannot use off-set time as the compnents are and must be connected to operations.I

Is it possible for end users to view a report created in Business Reporter from Order Report without having to install the BR add-on? The users already have the correct permissions, but when they try to export from Order Report, the report appears in blank and does not load any information, even in the PDF document.The report was saved with the “disconnect” option and the “generate PDF” option selected.Thank you!

Hi all,When using Mass Update Shop Order Structures to update shop orders, I would like to know where I can see exactly which changes were made to the shop orders by this mass update.Is there any specific log or history that shows the old and new values for the updated material lines? These updates cannot be found in the shop order history, I can only find the manual changed materials/ routings. Also I dont see the changes records in the background job information.  Kind regards, Willem
