Hello;        I’m new to IFS & I’m quite surprised at the difficulty there is in changing a unit of measure. I’m a designer, & a portion of my former company was acquired by another who uses IFS. In the process there was a lubricant that got transferred & the unit of measurement was a pail. I’m not sure what the correct unit is but that wasn’t the unit it was supposed to be. Instead of being able to correct the unit, my main division of the company is saying the only thing we can do is create a new part no. with the correct unit of measure. This lubricant is used all over the place in 103 boms & 93 drawings which would have to be changed. Is this a limitation with IFS, & if it is, why would it be. I believe with our former system using CMS, we would have just revised the unit, & been done with it. I should add, it has already been used which seems to make it more of an issue.Thanks for any input in advance. SonDrum

Does anyone know if it is possible to host the MWM front-end of something other than Microsoft IIS? We are trying to transition our applications to Linux based infrastructure wherever possible. I posed this question the support team via a ticket, but they directed me to the user community. 

The documentation states the following, but I cannot find where to download the Layout Migration Tool in the Remote Deployment Guide.Can anyone tell me where I can download the Report Layout Migration Tool?https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/070_remote_deploy/400_installation_options/005_operational_reporting/150_layout_migration_tool/--> https://developer.ifs.com/  

Hi everyone,We’re currently preparing our migration from IFS Apps 9 to IFS Cloud, and besides the functional transition (e.g., Project Delivery → Deliverables), we’re also exploring the reporting side of the migration.Specifically, we’re looking for experiences from others who have: Migrated from Crystal Reports to IFS Report Studio, and Worked with Report Designer reports in Apps 9. We’re wondering: How did you approach the migration of Crystal Reports — did you rebuild them in Report Studio or use an alternative strategy? How mature and flexible is IFS Report Studio in your experience? What happens to Report Designer reports from Apps 9 — are they still available and functional after migration to IFS Cloud, or do they need to be redeveloped? We’d love to hear from anyone who has hands-on experience or best practices to share around this reporting migration path.Thanks in advance for any insights,Best regards, Jesper

Hello every one, We are using IFS to generate our invoices (no Crystal Reports involved).We are currently experiencing performance issues when printing invoices — it takes at least 5 seconds per invoice, even when there is only a single line. We also noticed that the IFS Print Agent is not installed.From the documentation I reviewed, I understand that the PDF is generated by IFS and then processed by the IFS Print Agent.We have already increased the reporting ren pod to 10 GB, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar situation or can provide some guidance please? Thank’s in advance.

Is it possible to copy a report? I’ve tried exporting a report and the re-importing it into a new layout, but it errors. Some backend SQL error.Any thoughts on this?

It looks like I cannot see the highlighted option in our APPS10 instance. Any special security settings required? 

I have deployed the IFS Print agent, all with Green Lights :When trying to print a shipment documentWe get errors. Does anyone know what permissions we need to give and where?Any hints are welcome.

Hi all. We realized that in the Permission Set screen, Lobby Pages selector there is not a button to Revoke just one of the lines that you created.In the image below, you can see the buttons you have: Add, Add All, Revoke All. This is a problem because if you have, for instance, 20 lobby pages and one day you need to remove just one of them, now, IFS requires you to revoke all. However, if you surf to Projections selector, you can revoke the projections one by one. Does anyone know if this is a bug or the explanation for why this is happening?Thanks in advance. Best regardsSergio.

We are currently upgrading from Apps10 to IFS cloud . When trying to replicate one of our IAL’s  in IFS Cloud  we noticed some of the called functions in Purchase_Order_Invoice_API are missing when cpmpared to Apps10 e.g. Purchase_Order_Invoice_API.Calc_Invoiced_Unit_Price is no longer present in 24R2. Is there anywhere I can check to see if/when this was deprecated and what the alternatives for these missing functions are?

We have a check which was cashed in July which we then set back to printed status and now want to void it.  This is what I see  But when I click Void Check I get the message below:   This is quite strange because the option to void is there and normally it would (or should) give you the ability to enter the voucher date.  I would really appreciate any guidance on this. 

I am attempting to upload a budget period using the external file assistant and a template that has been provided.  When clicking finish I get an error stating the load file “contains rows with state Unpack error” -  Error Received after clicking “Finish” Below is a screenshot of the file I am attempting to upload -    When I go and view the external file transaction for the failed load, I see that row 1 is the source of the unpack error.  Specifically, it states “Invalid value format or invalid Decimal Symbol in the Loaded File.” -  Screenshot showing row 1 with an Unpack error stating “Invalid value format or invalid Decimal Symbol in the Loaded File.” I am a bit confused why row 1 would be causing the error because there is an External File Template Control for this specific template that states Row 1 should be skipped if the first value it finds is “ACCOUNT” which is true for this excel file.  Below is a screenshot of that control and also the file template as a whole -  External F

When working with Inventory Part statusses there are basicly 2 options:Use a minimum number of statusses based on the possible combinations of settings. For example:Encode the different departments in the status so you know who at any moment is responsible (when creating new parts or updating them)Any comments on how this is done are welcome :-)

When an external voucher is uploaded with negative debit and credit amounts while Use Correction Rows is not enabled, the system currently treats these negative values as standard debit and credit entries. Since no validation error is raised, users may incorrectly assume that the voucher has been posted successfully.As an enhancement, the system should ideally interpret: a negative debit as a credit, and a negative credit as a debit. If adjusting this behavior within the core functionality is not feasible, the system should at minimum trigger a validation error during the Check/Create process. This would prevent the creation of incorrect vouchers and ensure users are clearly informed about invalid debit/credit combinations.

 Body: Hi IFS Community,I work in the Steel Industry (Coil Service Center / Decoiling) using IFS Applications 10. We have a specific scenario regarding purchasing and receiving raw material (Steel Coils) and I am wondering if there is a standard solution for this or if it requires customization.The Scenario: Purchasing: We create a Purchase Order for a total weight (e.g., 100 Tons of 5x1000mm Steel Coil) as a single line item. Supplier Notification: Before delivery, the supplier sends us a detailed packing list via Excel. This file contains specific details for each individual coil that makes up the 100 tons: Coil No / ID Heat No / Cast No Lot/Batch No Specific Weight (e.g., Coil 1: 20 tons, Coil 2: 18 tons...) Valid From / Expiry Dates (critical for storage costs) The Problem: Currently, our Purchasing team has this Excel file, but the Warehouse team does not see this detail in IFS. When the truck arrives, the Warehouse team has to physically climb onto the

Hi Community,We are currently using IFS Apps 10 in Turkey.Our current process for Supplier Payments involves creating the payment proposal within IFS, but we utilize a third-party external application to generate the actual payment instruction files (bank payment orders) to send to Türk banks. This is mainly due to the specific file format requirements of local banks.We are looking to eliminate this external middleware and manage the entire Payment Order generation process directly within IFS10.My questions are: Is it feasible to handle Türk bank payment formats (e.g., local XML or specific text formats) using standard IFS Payment Formats (such as ISO20022 or generic templates)? Has anyone successfully implemented direct bank integration for Turkey without an external tool? Which standard "Payment Format ID" is recommended as a base to configure for Turkish banking requirements? Any advice or experiences from the TR region would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Dear Team, I would like to understand the following behavior in IFS when it comes to the cash transfer method. When defining a cash box cash account in the cash account screen we are not allowed to use the cash transfer method as “Cash Transaction”We receive the following error.    However, if we provide the cash transfer method as “cash transaction” in Cash box screen line level system will allow to proceed.   Could you please help us to understand the difference. Thank you.

Hello We have a voided check that we would like to unvoid. Is there a way to do this? There is an optin to set status to printed. Would that unvoid the check?  Any assistance would be much appreciated.
