Any tips to change the order of the Object Connections? This is how it’s displayed todayWe would like to get the order that is defined in Default definitions -Documents, Events, Map Positions and Media to improve the usability as intended in standard.Have tried to apply defaults and edit the order of the service list without any luck (We have the same issue in 24R1 SU12)
We are in the beginning stages of a migration from an AS400 ERP to IFS Cloud. I’m an enterprise software engineer who is new to the IFS world.Our current warehouse shipping process involves a piece of custom software that screen-scrapes from an AS400 terminal session into a Windows application called ClipperShip. This software handles all the carrier specific logic, including printing labels, etc., then another piece of custom software gets the data out of ClipperShip and back into the AS400 ERP.We would like our new solution to be as simple as possible for warehouse employees. Ideally it would be completely web-client based. We have started evaluating some API-based shipping solutions like ProShip and ShipEngine. Here are my questions after reading through the technical documentation: 1. It seems that the shortest path to getting something functional would be to use a solution that already provides a client user interface, build a piece of custom middleware that uses the OData REST AP

Our customer has a very real scenario the relates to Activity Planned Start/Finish dates. These dates are used to schedule the project but often, time needs to be reported to the activity earlier or later than the dates when the activity will occur. For example, we need to plan a design review on May 12th and 13th, that’s what we want to plan for and what we want the customer (internal and external) to see when the project plan is reviewed. But these is preliminary and follow-on work that must be done for this activity and costs that need to occur before May 12th or after May 13th. Is there a way to set the project activity to allow time reporting (and cost, but time is most important) that’s outside of the Early Start/Finish of the project activity?thank you.Patrick
Hi, everyone! I’m working on a custom C# service allowing my company to use the “Manual Reservations for Customer Order Line” functionality with custom reservation location logic programmatically. Reason being our business analysts have determined the native “Reserve Customer Order Lines” IFS functionality doesn’t work for our business needs as we need to be able to choose the inventory location to reserve from. I’ve been told there are ways in native IFS functionality to somewhat determine how the reservation locations get chosen. But that option doesn’t work for us, either.Currently, my process for reserving customer order lines looks like this:Grab reservation locations from custom PL/SQL logic. This is a sub second operation the majority of the time. Loop through all of the reservation locations, executing a reservation for each location using the following API endpoints: ManualReservationsForShipmentAndCustomerOrderLine.svc/ManualReservationsForShipmentAndCustomerOrderLineSet(Sour
HiWe've managed to retrieve data directly from the document view. If the document is connected to a client, I need data from that client, such as their name. Is this possible?I've attached what I'm using to capture variables within the document view, but I can't figure out how to retrieve data from another connected entity. d1 = CStr(ScriptValues.Item("DESCRIPTION2").Value) d2 = CStr(ScriptValues.Item("DESCRIPTION3").Value) d3 = CStr(ScriptValues.Item("DESCRIPTION4").Value)
We are running 25R1.3 on prem. We have a handful of Custom Events/Event Actions that send REST Post requests to another server. I’d like to route these application messages to a specific message queue, and I am not having any success. The Event Action is fairly simple, send a POST request to an address like: http://[myserver]/wh/[specific_endpoint] with a json body and a few http headers, no authentication. For reference, below is an example of an application message that was created by this event: By default, these end up in the NOTIFICATIONS queue, but i’d like all Application Messages going to this server to get routed to their own queue. I was under the impression that i could do this by setting up a routing address and routing rule, but I havent had any success. This is the address that i created (Format, Transformers, Response Transformers are all blank): And here is the routing rule that i created: My understanding is that the address from my Application Message (http://172.1
HI All,In the latest cloud release IFS released us to use “Packaging Material Parts to Handling Unit Accessories”. I have configured the settings and I am seeing an odd behaviour. I am not sure this is due to set up mine. Any help would be highly appreciated. Below is my set up. I am maintaining my packing material in IFS as an inventory part.Inventory Part - P-100-1Packing Form (Packing material) - 1-00212 I am using below packing Instruction and I have defined Handling Unit Accessory and connected my packing material to that. Below is my packing Ins. I am using 2m of FORM for each small box HU when packing. I have 100 pcs of stock from P-100-1 and in the master part i have defined my handling unit capacity as below. Then From the Inventory part in stock window. I am selecting > Handling unit > Pack according to packing instruction. Once the stock is packed on the packing ins. I can see my parent HU and other connections. Everything seems to be OK But if I check the inventory ba
I am facing an issue in IFS Cloud 25R1 when trying to use Media Items. 1) After creating a new Media Item and saving it, I receive the below error. We see this error in both scenarios either we have the object property Repository Value set as "Database" or “File_storage”, “Restricted File type” 2) Additionally, when attempting to upload an image to the Media Item, with the object properties Repository Value set as “File_storage”, I get the following error “Failed to upload file to storage location.” We did not face this issue in 23R2 but after the upgrade we see the above issues. I would like to understand:Why I am receiving these errors during Media Item creation and image upload?What could be causing the “Restricted File type” message?How can this issue be resolved so that Media Items and attachments can be saved successfully for both Database and File Storage?Any guidance on configuration settings, allowed file types, or known solutions for this behavior in 25R1 would be greatly app
Outside of using history logging or working through the documentation page, is there a way to reset the Document Default Values in Basic Data to the original settings of when the system was installed? This is the master list, not the settings in Document Class Management.

I write to ask you if you, can explain, for what reasons - when a document is uploaded to IFS that the Original File Type may appear as N/A?I have tried viewing documents with Original File Type N/A and am unable to view them, I receive a "Restricted File Type" error when clicking View Document.My initial thinking on this would be that a user attempts to upload the document, something goes wrong in the file transfer process and as a result IFS ends up with an uploaded file that it cannot understand.Can you indicate:1) Are there any other reasons, besides an upload going wrong, that cause a document to be assigned file type N/A? If so, what are these reasons?2) Has IFS ever given consideration, if N/A file type documents are a result of uploads going wrong to presenting user with a prominent message saying something like:"Something went wrong with your upload. Users won't be able to view / download your file in it's current state"and for this message to provide users with a second chanc
Community, this error is comming from Service Contract window, we are doing pre-posting and got below error. any idea what is wrong with the project itself? Thank you.
At the moment 25R2 is the latest, but we would like to do a fresh install of 25.1.7 for a new customer, as we have a lot of country specific modifications which could not be uplifted to 25R2 yet.But the customer needs a system including those ones ASAP.Is is possible to do a fresh install of a slight older version (25.1.7)?I understand that the Build Place offers only the latest one (25R2), but is that overridable based on a special support request/case by which IFS Support enables this option temporarily?It is on premise.Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I am using deliver/receive shipment within same site for parts connected to project. The scenario is that shipments are prepared onshore and shipped offshore. There is a certain delay in the process. While delivering these shipments the M3 posting is without project connection. This means that value of the part is temporary taken out of the project until it is received offshore where it is brought back to the project with M1. The setup of the posting control is like all inventory parts are expensed on arrival, meaning that M1 is connected to P&L accounts. It does not seem right that the projects for a while looses connection with inventory/cost values during shipments within warehouses on same site. Anyone with reflections on this? Inputs are highly appreciated.
We have encountered an issue with the Document Revision window. When a new revision is created and the title is changed in that revision, the change is automatically applied to all previous revisions as well. This occurs regardless of the document status and whether the Update Allowed During Approval toggle is enabled or disabled.Could you please confirm if this is a known bug, and advise how we can fix it? The application version is Cloud 25R1.
Hi allWe face the issue that we have a lot of different Pods which run in an OOM Error.These errors mainly concern the pods: ifsapp-client-services ifsapp-connect ifsapp-odata ifsapp-reporting-renMore and more pods are not effective, and above all, we are slowly running out of CPU on the nodes. However, we still have sufficient memory. Therefore, I would like to increase the memory of the pods. What I have already found are the parameters:“minMemory” and “addMemory”, which I can set in ifscloud-value.yaml.I found all of this in community posts with more or less confusing information, but no official IFS documentation.Can anyone tell me where the IFS has officially documented what these parameters do?Thank you.
Hi All,We are with IFS Cloud 24R2 SU10. Our Design and Engineering team has a very important requirement to copy existing PRs lines to new PRs lines along with Document Text linked to each PR lines.We have noticed 2 issues in this process.PR Lines are copied in incorrect order. Document Text linked to PR Lines does not get copied.We had same issue in our previous IFS Apps10 UPD18 version prior to IFS Cloud Upgrade. Even though we reported this to IFS, we did not receive any solution. Hence, we have raised this again to IFS and they have requested us to post this in IFS Community. Has anyone facing same issues in IFS Cloud?IFS R&D team is currently looking into Item 1 (Lines get copied in incorrect order). However, they have mention Item 2 requires a major design change. Up until now we have been using migration jobs to migrate PR lines and Document Text from Source PR to Destination (New) PR. But this process consumes more time on populating data and verifying data. Please let us
Hi All,Currently, I received an email requesting a password reset as part of the transition to the new IFS Partner Portal. However, I am currently no longer receiving any password reset emails.Additionally, the ticket reporting link available in OSCA is not working, as it appears to be obsolete.Could you please advise on how I can log in to the new IFS Partner Portal or assist with resetting my access?https://link.zift123.com/c/103/d3a3958e72eec0607a3d80338d0ab9ab0a78eba927ab6fff150e9b4fa1806eb05712ac70095e39f1
Hi all,We are trying to send supplier payment output file to HSBC SFTP server folder. For this we are using SSH method to connect SFTP folder.We have developed one transformer as per HSBC payment file specification. Supplier payment file produced by customised transformer is already validated by HSBC Bank We are getting following error message while sending file from IFS to HSBC Error:ExecutionException from Sender thread Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$TemporaryFailureException: Error during file sending Caused by: com.jcraft.jsch.SftpException: User CT000027985_28244 is not allowed to execute this SFTP command because of policy HSBC_SFTP_IBOB_CMD_LIMITING Steps we have followed to establish SSH connection with HSBC server : We have generated Private & Public key from IFS Shared IFS Public key with HSBC HSBC confirmed that they have installed IFS public key HSBC shared their, HOST NAME / USER NAME / PORT NUMBER to connect SFTP folder We have generated KNOWNHOST
We currently use a standalone tool and manually key in data to print our box labels. As you can imagine, this is error‑prone and time‑consuming.Question:Is there an IFS function or add‑on that can automatically generate a Box Label and send it to a label printer?Data fields required on the label:Part Number Part Description Shop Order Number GTIN Quantity Customer SKUIdeal workflow (if available in IFS):User scans/chooses a Shop Order (or Part) in IFS. IFS pulls the above fields automatically. Label is generated using the standard label template/report. Output is sent directly to our label printer (e.g., Zebra) with the correct label size and barcode symbology.Thanks in Advance!
