Hello, I'm working on a project to implement an IFS ERP and I would like to know if the LTU Shop Floor system includes the ability to consult lobbies. If this is currently permitted in version 24R2 SU1, is this right included permanently, without being affected by future updates and without affecting the LTU status? Thanks for your help   

Hi,Version: 24R2This example is for Maintenance  (EAM) area. I have a customer and business team member is Maintenance Manager. We have given access to below lobbies via Permission Sets to his IFS User.Work Order Management Work Order Closure Management Preventive Maintenance​​​​​​​All the elements on each of these lobbies are not required. From point of interest only 3-4 elements and even 1 element will suffice the requirement from each lobby. So we have added the individual elements from these 3 lobbies mentioned above on the home page of the Maintenance Manager’s login ID. Issue: All the lobby element parameters are not appearing on the home page due to which the data is not appearing. Please refer screenshot, the lobby element parameters for last two elements (Link List) highlighted parameters are missing due to which data is not appearing and if we click on the link it shows that parameters are missing required for that element.Any additional setups or solution available for this

We want to do some changes on Customer Order Confirmations being sent via INET_TRANS.Currently the XML field <CUSTOMER_PO_LINE_NO> does not contain the actual Customer PO Line No that is in IFS > Customer Order > Order Lines row, (highlighted below) but a sequential one that IFS creates starting at ‘1’.  This seems to be wrong, surely it should be sending the data that is in IFS.Can IFS fix this?  What is the reasoning for naming the XML field to correlate to an IFS field and then not use the IFS data? 

Hello,I am facing issue in the change order for PO yy07530, we need to cancel line 1 of this order, but am getting the attached error.  How can we resolve this. Regards,Kruthika

Hi all,  Is it possible to pass a date range to a lobby parameter?I have a Date type field called "Created_date" in my database view, and I would like to use "Starting_date" and "End_date" as page parameters to filter data based on "Created_date."I am looking for a way to add these conditions in the lobby datasource designer? A sample WHERE clause would be very helpful.Version: IFSCloud 22R1

which views are impacted when we link a customer_order_line with a shop order ? because in the view shop_ord we have a field customer_order_no but it is still empty after creation of a linked qty of 2 with a selected shop order …?? and I can still see that there is a link in the manual link but don’t understand which view is updated (i analyzed shop_ord and customer_order_line)...thanks in advanceFrédéric

Hi HR ExpertsWe have 2 leave types, statutory and non-statutory. Through the Request Absence feature in IFS, the employees can select only the leave type statutory. So that works fine. Type non statutory is turned off as shown below. How can we automatically activate for selection on the absence request once all the statutory leaves are used? [I know manual activation is possible through edit in the screen]  Version 24.1.9Thanks,Asela

Does anyone have experience with or set up a file template for SAF-T reporting format for UK?IFS does not have UK format as a standard file Template.Best regards,Oskari

Hi Community,We’re trying to find a smooth and effective way of creating quotes and change orders in IFS Cloud, but are struggling with coming up with something. Scenario 1:Customer sends us a Request for maintenance, with the symptom of the part to be maintained. We send a Cost Estimate to the customer, based on experience with the reported symptom. Customer sends the component to be maintained. We create a Work Order and start the maintenance. During inspection, we see additional repair required, and needs customer approval for this. During service we reach the agreed Maintenance Cost levels, and needs customer approval to increase this. Scenario 2:Customer sends us the Customer order and the component, and wants us to inspect and report maintenance requirements. We create a Work Order We start disassembly, inspection and test, before we send a Cost Estimate to the customer. (Hours are logged) The rest is similar to Scenario 1 steps 5 and 6. Regarding IFS Cloud support for the scenar

In Apps9, when Avalara was enabled there was an RMB “Fetch External Tax” when clicking on the CO header. I have Avalara enabled on a site, but I do not see the equivalent to that in IFS Cloud. What am I missing?

For Multi-Company Project Reporting, can someone clarify the controls and logic for the field “Multi-Company Reporting Method” between the two projects - Employee and Customer.  Each Project can have its own setting for this field.  I have typically made them match, what happens when they don’t?  Does setting on one project take priority over the other?  Or must they match?For example if Employee Company is set to use Voucher, but Customer Company is set to use Project Invoice, what happens? ThanksJon

Hello All, We are currently in the process of upgrading from 23.1.11 to 24.2.0 through the Release Update Studio. We successfully uplifted the customizations, and the creation of the topic environment and the sanity build were both successful. However, the delivery creation failed due to errors in the standard objects.We have checked the log file and could see that there are numerous errors related to deploying standard core views/packages, even though the customizations have not impacted this area. We tried to deploy one of the errored standard API from Developer Studio by connecting to DEL env, and it got successfully deployed to database without any error (refer screenshot).Interestingly, the creation of TOPIC environments from the Release Update Studio was successful, and the sanity build performed just before the failed delivery creation also succeeded. Therefore, the delivery creation should have been successful, as it theoretically uses the same code from the repository.We are a

Hello everyone,Here is a use case for which I need your help.The customer "Point P" places a customer order on behalf of a third party "MIKIT".In this order, "Point P" applies its own pricing and discounts (e.g.: 50% on a sales group).The need is, when creating the Customer Order in IFS, although the customer on the header is "Point P",  to apply a price list (including prices and discounts) defined for "MIKIT" to the order.If no specific price list is configured for "MIKIT", then we should keep the prices provided by "Point P".Does someone know how this could be modeled in IFS?I tried adding "MIKIT" as the end customer on the customer record for "Point P", but without success...

Hello, Does anyone know if there is a way to update the expiration date in bulk on the ‘Report Archive’ screen in IFS Cloud? I’m trying to do some data cleanup. I’ve already set the default to expire but that doesn’t affect what has already been printed in the past. I have seen the -- Archive_Distribution_API.set_Expire_Date but it doesn’t look like there is anything in that ARCHIVE_DISTRIBUTION view or anything in the ARCHIVE view so I am confused where this data is stored. Any help is appreciated, thank you.   

The EE Chrome Extension is expiring soon. Is IFS releasing a new one? What do you recommend we do?  

Hi Everyone, Can anyone point me to some examples of setting up Absence actions?  I checked the help and it doen’t make things very clear. I’d like an absence action to be created when an employee returns to work.  I can make it work partially using T-ACTION with the following parameters:1;2;2;1;10;5;10;1I’m struggling with paramter 4: Start Day Value; does anyone know what values are acceptable in this parameter?  What value would I enter for the end of the absence (ie, when the employee returns). If anyone has any examples of Absence actions I’d be really interested to see. Many thanks, Scott

Created the transport task with new location3. Tried to receive part but the new location does not populate. They are able to manually add in the new location, but this is time consuming and is not how the line is supposed to behave. The new location should be populatingThoughts on where to start? 

We have been presented with a challenge to integrate IFS FSM6 with ServiceNow.I believe that due to company security policies we cannot integrate directly and need to use middleware or Saas like Boomi. We need to integrate both Incident work orders and asset information.Is this a difficult thing to do? Is a lot of development work needed and is there a need for a lot of FSM support?Any advice, guidance or support would be geatly appreciated. :-)Many thanks, 

Community, anyone has experience on below parameter “Allow Automatic Substitution of Parts” on below Customer window. If so, how to use it, what will be the scenario then? thank you.
