We currently use the Purchase Order Delivery Reminders and Purchase Order Confirmation Reminders functions to print reminders. It’s possible to run test prints to check the current templates, and bulk printing works as expected. From what I understand, email handling can also be managed from these views if the functionality is properly configured.At the moment, the process seems semi-automatic, as some manual steps are still required to send emails. Has anyone successfully configured this to make the process more automated?Modifying existing templates is not a major issue, but before making changes, we’d like to hear how others have approached this globally.Do you have any tips or best practices for streamlining this process? Are there recommended settings or configurations to minimize manual work?
When trying to create a pick list from the Maintenance Material Requisition page, we’re receiving ‘The Inventory Part in Stock does not exist’. We’ve confirmed that every part record contains an IPIS record and all parts are currently reserved with available inventory. Does anyone know what would be causing this error and preventing us from creating a pick list and picking the parts??
I started to create a Lobby matrix element... I named it, picked a datasource, and then savedWhen I added my first column, I immediately got an error.Now I cannot load this element and remove or correct it as the only options on the error are (details, reload page, or return home) I probably shouldn't save things as I go... The datasource is ShopFloorWorkbenchHandling with data root ShopFloorWorkbenchHeadSetHas one run into this?
Unfortunately we often have parts moved into quarantine to be checked/inspected that remain in that location for an extended period of time. As we do not know what the outcome of the inspection will be, the availability control is set to not nettable so that the stock can’t be considering for planning. Unfortunately it does mean that MRP will generate requisitions meaning we could order more parts to then find out items are then released from quarantine and become available. I am interested to know if anyone else has the same issue and how they manage it to avoid having too much stock. Is there a mechanism where parts can be temporarily excluded from MRP whilst they undergo evaluation?
I am currently looking into developing our Project Management module for our Engineering group. However, in reviewing most of the data, it appears that the PM module for IFS is geared more towards product development and external projects. Our team focuses strictly on inter-company infrastructure improvement and capital equipment. Am I missing something or is it very flexible? Is there a better module to do this in? (I am in software development, not projects or accounting).Essentially, our team needs:5 year project and capital planning tracking including estimated costs with the ability to move projects around. Estimating and planning I did see the capability to manage subcontractors. Tied to some type of financial data for our bean counters to see how everything it tracking day-to-day.If there is some good documentation out there for actually setting this up, much appreciated.
Within FSM (Service Manager), when we close a Task, the scope and the request are automatically closed.Within EAM, we have parameters to prevent this automatic closure.Which parameter can we modify so that the Service Manager doesn't close the request when the tasks within it are completed?We want to manually close the scope; we don't want it to work automatically.In EAM, it's possible to do this using the "Finish with Task" attribute, but I can't find it in FSM. Product Version: 25.1.3 Business Impact: Within FSM (Service Manager), when we close a Task, the scope and the request are automatically closed.
Hello, my customer (still in Apps 10) uses FileShare as repository. Attachments are correctly stored on the file share. So far so good.But: Column FILE_DATA of EDM_FILE_STORAGE_TAB still contains the attachment too.Can anybody tell me, which cleanip job will remove attachments from EDM_FILE_STORGE_TAB if the repository is different from database?
Hi Experts,In the B2B portal, contractors currently cannot update assigned work tasks. There is no way for them to add notes such as planned start dates, issues, or other relevant updates once a task is assigned.We need a clear way for contractors to update this information in the B2B portal to support effective monitoring and tracking of work progress.How we can do this? Seems the business need to fully rely on emails? This page is Read only! Thanks,KM
There is a Operation Not Allowed --Failed Transaction .Tried to ignore that transaction.And it was successfully moved to “Ignored Failed Transactions” screen. But, There are many subsequent transactions without any “Error Details”. (They are related to the same WOrk order/Task).When trying to ignore them , they are not clearing up from Failed transactions screen. Any suggestions you have on how to clear these failed transactions would be appreciated.
Sales part already added and did work assigned still not working properly.

Hello IFS Community, I have some custom fields created through Entity Configuration (not by customizing the client file or projection), and I would like to control their visibility based on a condition.For example, I have a custom field named part_no on the Approval page, and I would like it to be visible only when LU_NAME = 'InventoryPartInStock'.How can I achieve this using Page Designer?Any examples — especially with screenshots — would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, all! I have a datasource with a complicated “Where” clause and am using it on a data element list. It is not working, however, and isn’t using the where clause when you click the link, even though the button “use datasource condition” is checked. Any ideas? It’s definitely pulling the same view as the link, just no conditions.
Hi, We have serialized Company Rental Assets in Inventory that are connected to Fixed Assets. What is the correct process if a sale or disposal of the Fixed Asset is required? Is the sale initiated from the Fixed Asset, or via a CO or both? ThanksJames

Good morning, How can we add Value-Added Services (VAS) charges—such as freight and customs—to Purchase Orders in IFS10 without losing efficiency due to change orders that require approval, while ensuring compliance with IFRS requirements?IFRS requires that all acquisition-related costs, including VAS charges like freight and customs, be allocated to individual inventory items. At the same time, VAS charges related to non-inventory items should not be handled held in inventory, any related charges should not flow through inventory.What is the best practice in IFS10 to achieve this—especially for scenarios where actual VAS costs are unknown at PO creation—without customization and while maintaining proper landed cost allocation and accounting treatment?
Dear Team,This is to inform you that we have assigned the Report Archive Projection to the user and granted full access. However, the user is still unable to view the results generated by other users.Could you please advise what additional or specific access needs to be granted so that the user can view other users’ result keys on the Report Archive screen?Thanks&Regards,Afrin Dobani
We have a supplier agreement where the header status is Active, but the part lines are showing status Closed. Because of this, no updates are happening on those lines.Our requirement:We do not want to create new lines. We want to know if there is any way to reopen or reactivate the closed part lines under the same agreement.If reopening is not possible, what is the recommended approach to proceed without creating duplicate lines?Any best practices or configuration tips would be appreciated.
Hi. Is there any known way to “move” a Company Owned Rental Asset that is in stock on a Site within one Company to a Site on a different Company in IFS ?Our customer has discounted a simple Move Inventory Part, a Transport Task, and a Shipment Order which all are not allowed for ownership of a rental asset. (“Transaction Code COMPM-OUT not allowed for Company Rental Assets” is the error on the transport task). We understand the theory around controlling as asset moving across companies, but is there any way this can be done out-with renting the asset to the other company using Internal Purchase Orders and Customer Orders ?Thanks.
Hi The following material fulfillment use case relates to NGSM 25R1, and I would appreciate community feedback on whether this approach is considered best practice. If not, I would welcome recommendations on alternative methods or better-aligned best practices.Demand Creation by Field Service Desk: The Field Services Desk records the part number, quantity, and required need date in the Materials tab of the Work Task to initiate demand.SCM Review & Fulfillment Strategy Decision: The Supply Chain Management (SCM) team reviews the requirement to determine the most appropriate fulfillment approach.In this scenario, the decision is to handle the requirement through:Procurement Receipt into the central warehouse Completing required configuration on the part.Post-Configuration Handling & New Material Line Creation: Once configuration is completed on the part.:The Field Services Desk creates a new material line with the same part number, quantity, and required date. SCM updates the Su
Is there any standard functionality in the Rental Management Module to generate a schedule (Eg: 28-day schedule) using the actual delivery date?What needs to happen is:When the customer order rental line is delivered, a 28-day rental schedule should generate as follows::Actual Delivery Date (DD/MM/YYYY): 08/09/2025The Schedule:Trigger Date | Period End Date | Planned Invoice Date08/09/2025 | 06/10/2025 | 08/09/202507/10/2025 | 03/11/2025 | 07/10/2025
Hello,I’m looking for guidance on an issue I’m encountering with PMRP and the use of standard inventory.I have a project configured to use standard inventory and to automatically generate MTRs. The parts involved are within their lead times, and I’ve confirmed that MTR creation should be possible. However, when I run PMRP by Activity for the entire project (leaving Activity Sequence blank), only one activity receives an MTR. The other three activities generate purchase requisitions instead—even though I know sufficient excess exists in standard inventory.If I run PMRP on each activity individually, or if I use a Planned Netting Group, all activities generate the expected MTRs. This leads me to believe that when PMRP is executed for the full project, only the final activity processed is considered for standard inventory availability.Has anyone experienced this behavior or know what configuration or process I might be overlooking?Thank you.Andrew
