Q&A Discussion of IFS Solutions for our IFS Employees, Partners and Customers

In IFS, each HSN code is linked to a single HSN Group. Because of this structure, it is unclear how to handle cases where the same HSN code requires multiple GST rates (Example: multiple suppliers issue invoices with the same HSN code but apply different GST rates). Creating duplicate HSN codes for each GST rate is not aligned with standard compliance practice, as HSN codes are classification identifiers and should remain unique.Guidance is requested on the recommended approach to manage this scenario within IFS.
We have created document macros to insert information such as document number, document title, revision number, and document status when creating documents from templates in Cloud 24R2. We have also developed macros to update these fields during document check-in and check-out, and these work correctly for both Word and Excel files.However, we would like to know if there is a way to automatically update the document status inside already checked-in Word/Excel files when the document status changes in the Cloud. Certain statuses in the DocMan workflow prevent check-out, and as a result, users who view the checked-in documents still see the old status that was in place at the time of check-in.Is there any supported mechanism or recommended approach to update the document status inside checked-in files without requiring a check-out/check-in cycle?

I have been looking into the new Co-product feature in 25R1 and it seems ideal for our needs except for one major flaw. Parent part must not be multi-level trackedFor this feature to be of any use to us we would require both the parent part and the co-product to be lot tracked. Even in the example given in the release presentation of two castings made in the same mold it makes no sense to only be able to lot track one of the castings. Can anyone explain the logic behind this? Surely if I am making two products that are equally valuable then I should be able to track them equally? Will tracking of the parent part be available in future releases?

IssueWhen creating a new Person ID in IFS CLOUD, the system automatically converts the special characters to substitute characters.E.g.- It won’t allow to add person ID with special characters (‘ß’) and get replaced with ‘SS’ ObservationIn IFS APPs(APP09 and APP10), the system allows saving Person IDs with special characters and same was displayed in the IEE client.ImpactSince the customer is migrating data from IFS Apps to IFS Cloud, this behavior creates a challenge. There should be a proper way to handle existing Person IDs with special characters rather than creating new Person IDs, which could lead to inconsistencies and duplicate records.Questions for Community Is there a recommended approach or configuration in IFS Cloud to preserve special characters in Person IDs during migration? If not supported, what is the best practice for mapping or transforming these IDs to maintain data integrity?

Hello Community,We are currently running IFS Applications 10 with the following version details: Update: Update 14 Client Version: 10.14.21.0 Server Version: 10.14.8.0 We are planning our next maintenance window and need to confirm if there have been any new major Updates released for IFS Applications 10 after Update 14.Could someone please confirm: What is the current, latest official Update released for IFS Applications 10? (e.g., Update 20, Update 21, etc.) If possible, what are the corresponding Client and Server version numbers for this latest Update? Any guidance or links to the official IFS documentation (such as the F1 documentation or Support portal information) would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help!
At present, when Use Code String Completion is enabled, the system applies the predefined code string completion rules in sequence and overrides any conflicting values provided in the external file. Conversely, when Use Code String Completion is disabled, the system fully relies on the values in the external file.Currently, there is no functionality that allows both approaches to work together—i.e., using file provided values where available while applying code string completion for missing parts.Therefore its important to have the below functionality: When a code part value is provided in the external file, it should take precedence over the default value defined by code string completion. If a code part is omitted from the file, the system should automatically fetch the default value from the code string completion rules. When a business processes thousands of voucher rows every month, with varying code part values, manually resolving each conflict in such high volumes is impractic
Hello, We have just upgraded to Cloud 25R1. In 25R1 we started receiving this error message when matching PO Receipts on Manual Supplier Invoice (using either Match PO Receipts or Match PO Receipts per Line). There are no rentals on the PO, we don’t use Rental and we did not have this error in the previous releases. The Supplier Invoice is in Preliminary state.Has anyone had anything similar? Or can anyone suggest a reason why the system is trying to use this Posting Control.All suggestions are very much appreciated!!Error Message
Hi Community.What are the capabilities of IFS Cloud for financial consolidation over multiple business entities with different end year dates.The customer has multiple business entities. These entities have different yearly end dates. One is following 31st of December, but others have a change e. g. 31st of October.What is the capability of IFS Cloud in this case and what will come with what release? Thanks in advance and have a great week :).
Hi,I encountered a case and would appreciate any insights or advice.I’m working with a user interaction workflow that displays a user task. This workflow is triggered after the “Save Order Address” event, specifically when the Delivery Address Dialog “OK” command is executed. After triggering, the workflow calls my custom API to validate the address and then updates the address again through the workflow.Most of the time it runs smoothly, but occasionally I see two issues: An error dialog appears right when the user task is displayed. The Delivery Address Dialog becomes stuck after clicking “OK,” preventing the page from refreshing properly. The error message I observed is:SimpleDialog/10:49:55.839: message: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'SimpleStruct')" stack: "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'SimpleStruct')” My current suspicion is that this stems from a timing mismatch: The user interaction workflow runs asynchronously. The page refresh af
Hello,Last week one of our planners ran MRP for a specific part, but a req was not generated even though the projected qty fell below safety stock without confirmed supply. When we look at the MRP Part Information, the MRP Message shows “Not Buildable”. However, when I look at the Product Structure and Routing for that part, both are Buildable. Also, the MRP Control checkbox is enabled on the Inventory Part manufacturing tab, and the part is active. We’ve checked all we can think of to check and we’re hoping someone can point us in the right direction to figure out why MRP for this part is flagging it as Not Buildable. Thank you!
Hello all,When we proceed to a revision transfer actions for a Manufactured part, the structure data from the previous revision, such as “Reserve/Issue from Loc” or “Reseve/Issue Method” are lost. Is there a way to preserve these informations when creating a new revision ? Thank you for your help.
Extending functionality on DOPs – connection of DOP components to operations – mentioned in 25R1. We have SU 25.1.2 + APB released on 2025-01-20. See behavior, seems does not work correctly:DOP – 3 levels, component T-2 is connected to Operation 20 of T-1. The same connection on SO:APB before scheduling – just scheduler by IFS – OKParameters of scheduling in APB:After scheduling in APB – connection to operation 20 ignored: Thanks in advance.
Hi, I would like to raise this question in the forum to understand how different users handle the situation described below. I am working with a customer whose BOM structure contains multiple levels sometimes up to seven.When we create a shop order for the top level item and run MRP, shop order requisitions and purchase requisitions for the lower level components are generated automatically. After converting these shop order requisitions into shop orders, is there a way to view all child shop orders linked to the top-level shop order?Essentially, my customer wants to see the related shop orders and the material availability for each of them.We can review the BOM structure using MRP Part Information (Top-Down), but this does not provide a clear view of the shop order hierarchy or the critical path.How would you address this type of requirement? Are there standard functionalities or possible views that could help achieve this?
Dear all,Does anyone know in which scenarios it is necessary to perform a refresh of project connections? I have a customer who occasionally experiences issues that are resolved with such a refresh, but this occurs very rarely. What I’d like to know is what can cause disturbances in project connections that require this kind of refresh to prevent issues.Thanks for your help.
Has anyone found or developed an IFS Aurena user guide? We are upgrading to IFS Apps 10 next year and I would like my Core team to demo (using the RACE database) the Aurena client.
