I am having a project deliverable structure as below.[level 1]: material project deliverable item connected to a manufactured inventory part with MRP code A [level 2] : non material project deliverable item connected to a manufactured inventory part with MRP code P (or K) and engineering phantom part with MPL part value "no demand"  [level 3] : material project deliverable item connected to a purchased inventory part When I create the shop order for [level 1], the components are correctly fetched from the phantom parts but - again - the phantom part n° is not displayed on the shop order material line.In this case, the phantom part exists as an inventory part, so why isn't it working?

pre-requisitesa) Two inventory parts where;• Inventory part> Planning data tab> Planning Method is K (blow through)• Part window> engineering tab> part detail> Provide code is Phantom & MPL part is no demand. b) Regular manufacturing and purchase inventory parts c) Buildable Product structure;• Level 1:  Phantom part 1• Level 2: Phantom part 2 & Manufacturing part• Level 3: Purchase part d) Started project with released project activity e) Project deliverable ID created for the project TEST STEPS:a) Project deliverables navigator window> find the deliverable created for the project> Add the top part in the component list> Approve.b) RMB on component line> Copy product structure> All levelsc) RMB on header> Calculate gross requirement> Generate material plans & Update project connections> OK  • Shop Order plan is created for the Phantom part.• If shipment is created on the shipment tab, Phantom part will also get a shipment Plan line. A

Hello,I have a Shop Order that I can’t close due to an error in costs.I notice that I had a product that was issued first and it was set by mistake as ‘Zero cost only’, then we notice and change it to ‘Zero Cost Forbidden’.Then we make an unissue and issue again, but it has costs already.Do you have an idea how to solve this? 

Hi Community,We are currently using IFS Applications 10.I would like to know the best practice for assigning items (such as laptops, mobile phones, cars, or tools) to specific employees within the system.Could you please guide me on:Which screen or logical unit is best used to assign these assets to a person? How can we view/track the list of items currently assigned to a specific employee from a single view?Any advice on the standard process for this workflow would be appreciated.Thank you.

Hi All, I’m looking at using the transport task and want to put them into warehouse task and auto assign the warehouse task to certain users, is this possible?Thanks, Sarah

When Work Orders are created for PM Actions, either via the ‘Generate Work Order’ option on the PM Action page or through Calendar Generation, the resulting Work Order does not retrieve or display the Customer and Service Contract information from the originating PM Action.  Currently, this information is only transferred to the Work Task level.  As explained by R&D, this behavior is by design, since the PM Grouping function allows the creation of a single Work Order that may include multiple Customers and Service Contracts. However, we would like to request an enhancement from R&D to improve this logic so that when no grouping across multiple Customers and/or Service Contracts is involved during Work Order creation (from PM Actions), the system should fetch the Customer and Service Contract information directly from the related PM Action.

For project deliverables when some equipment is purchased (externally or internally), we have not found any possibility to have a supply option where the supplier ships the goods directly to the customer.Currently we use Customer Order for these scenarios, but that is not optimal in combination with projects.Any ideas on alternative solutions or development done in Project Deliverables?

Hibackground:The management of user rights in Apps9-10 is rather fragmented. We have internal users with employment info, external persons administered in ad and some of them mirrored in IFS, dozens of our own permission sets on top of dozens of core ones, various authorization rights for invoices and purchases, there are document access configurations and parameters in system definitions, the GDPR data definitions etc. and all of these are maintained by few support people mostly from HR, ICT ad finance so that each takes care of certain area.I do understand that our current implementation could be done in several ways and there could be some simplifications achieved. Instead of fine tuning we however need to reach a whole new level of simplicity and automation to help speed up the entry/exit processes of employees and keep data and permissions more up-to-date without so much manual work as now. We need to be faster and provide constant high quality. This needs automation and automatio

Does IFS APPS10 or Cloud support UK payroll either natively or by 3rd party?Customer is looking for a replacement for their current Cascade system for HR. Please advise.

Our IFS environments are configured as “SSL Proxy” as we have a load balancer that acts as a front-end for user access as required by our business client.This load balancer has an SSL Certificate that was imported into our environments and allows access to the IFS Client (App10 UPD15). We also use a separate certificate (not expiring) to sign the application manifest.The load balancer SSL certificate expires on 01/06/26 and gets renewed each year. I would like to know the best way to re-import the load balancer SSL certificate into our environments to continue IFS client access. I have read documentation on the utility “update_http_certificates” but I’m not sure that is the thing to use here. 

Hello, We in the process of upgrading from Apps 10 UPD24 to Cloud 24R2 SU8. Our test environment has been configured with a global scale value of 20 in ifscloud-values.yaml. We had issues with the ifsapp-odata pod being killed due to hitting memory limits (OOMKilled message in Linux journal logs), our upgrade partner then added this to ifscloud-values.yaml to prevent this from happening: ifsappodata:  replicas: 1  resources:    requests:      cpu: "500m"      memory: "5Gi"    limits:      cpu: "2"      memory: "5Gi" Do IFS recommend specifying pod resources this way? Our MT server is at 18GB out of 96GB of memory used - would it not be better to increase the scale value/add more replicas for ifsapp-odata? Thanks, Joe

Hi All,I tried to request a release update from 25R1 to 25R2, but it failed.Has anyone encountered the same issue?Best regards,Feng  

We have customers that will calculate the Payment term discount, e.g. 10% 10 Days Net 30 on the gross invoice amount.  I.e  they calculate on the total invoice  before discounts.  How would you do this in IFS? e.g.  Total multi line invoice:    Units Price Line Total Line 1 Sku1 24  $       1.25  $    30.00   Line 2 Sku2 30           1.95         58.50   Invoice Subtotal          $    88.50 Trade Discount                 (8.50) Invoice Total          $    80.00             Payment Terms     10% 10 Days Net 30         (8.85) If Paid within 10 days          $    71.15

Hello IFS Community,I have a question regarding discount calculation behavior in IFS Cloud.When we configure both a Customer Agreement Discount and a Charge Type Discount, we are seeing that the Charge Type Discount is applied on the net amount (after other discounts are taken), instead of being calculated on the gross amount as we would expect.This creates issues in our pricing logic because certain charge‑type discounts—based on our commercial agreements—must be calculated on the gross line price, regardless of whether other discounts apply.→ Is there a configuration or setting in IFS Cloud that allows Charge Type Discounts to be calculated on the gross amount instead of the net amount?If this is standard IFS behavior, are there workarounds or alternative setups (e.g., charge methods, discount precedence, pricing rules, or custom events) that would allow us to change the calculation base?Any guidance or examples from those who have handled similar requirements would be greatly apprec

We are in the process of setting up Group Consolidations.  We have transferred our balances from one company to the consolidation company and then ran the Consolidation process.  When I go to the Consolidation Balance Analysis screen, the isn’t any data yet my status is showing as Consolidated.  Any ideas why we don’t have any balances?  When I look at the Reported Balance Analysis screen we have data, so I know the Transfer Balances worked correctly.   Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hello Community!I’m writing today because I have noticed that, when I attempt to migrate Posting Control headers (POSTRING_CTRL) using Data Migration Manager, nothing seems to be migrated even though the tool seems to disregard or swallow the exception preventing the row to be inserted. Let me describe my problem in detail, hopefully you have seen this before:I tried to create an Inventory Positing Control for Location Group. That is, posting Type M1 (Inventory) and Control Type C83 (Location Group). I first tried to create it manually (just to make sure the row I’m testing works fine when using Aurena) and it worked well… I can insert this posting control using AurenaI proceed to remove this “test” Posting Control to prepare the system to receive the DMM data.Then I created an extract to generate EXACTLY the same thing in DMM and confirmed all the steps went as expected (from Legacy to Input, from Input to Output, from Output to Deployment and then Approve record and Deploy with Commi

Shipment order was introduced in IFS Cloud and our customers so far are seeing some great benefits.  However we are currently discussing with a large rental asset supplier who want to be able to trigger a move from the existing customer location to the new customer location. The enhancement request is ; Add “Location” as a parameter for sending and receiving parties. Currently on creation of a shipment order only site or remote warehouse can be selected. This would also solve an issue with reverse logistics as IFS has no way of creating ‘pick-up’ type shipment orders which does impact a number of our customers

Hi all,We uploaded a long list of measurements for the object (~80000 rows). When we try to see them in IFS Cloud in the form Measurements for Objects we got error - question subject. Attachment meas_obj_1.But we try to have a look at uploaded measurements in the menu  Measurements for Object - we managed to do that. Attachment meas_obj_2Letter ‘S’ - the difference between menu names - can’t be the reason I hope. Does anybody have any idea about the reason and the solution for the issue?

Hello,I’m trying to setup a fixed “Document Text” with a phrase, that needs to be printed on Return Material return slips.I’ve added the text to the Sales Part screen under “Return Material Line”, but it doesn’t carry over automatic? Do you know of any possibilities where we can with standard functionality have that printed each time.  Thank you,Michael

Hi!Like the title says I am curious if it is possible to attach documents to the shipment screen. I can attach documents to AP & AR invoices, not sure why this would not be possible. I am being advised internally it is not possible, but I am wondering if they are incorrect. I am on IFS V8Thank you!   

25R1. WorkTask attachment pane. User-Administrator can see and use “eye” icon in attachment pane. But regular user with administrative permissions can’t see  “eye” icon. So user can’t view attached pdf file.I made some experiments and figured out the only way to allow regular user to see  “eye” icon is to grant  system privilege DOCMAN_ADMINISTRATOR + other permission sets restrictions.It’s not a good idea to provide admin permissions to regular users but I can’t find an alternative.Does anybody know way/ways how to allow “eye” icon appear in attachment pane?Regards,Roman.
