Hi,When using excel migration to upload data, when a date is passed, it gets inserted as the prior date. For example, if I am loading external payments with date 5/20/2023 in my excel, once uploaded and going into IFS, it shows as 5/19/2023.The same behavior is observed when a new entity is created and excel migration is used to upload the data.When the data is indicated as 1/1/2023, it uploads as 12/31/2022 automatically.Is this the known behavior of excel migration? if not, what needs to be done to resolve this issue?Best Regards,Dinesha

Dear Team, I am running the external supplier invoice load process through batch load in IFS Cloud (22R2). It appears that the system only recognizes the exact file name and I have been unable to find a mechanism to inject files with different suffixes, such as ExtSuppInv001.txt, ExtSuppInv002.txt, and so on.Is there anyone who is aware of how to accomplish this? If so, could you please share the solution?

I’m currently working on a Workflow where I need a list of distinct values.I need to retrieve a collection of distinct suppliers from a set of Purchase Requisition Lines.I’m currently using an API element to fetch all Purchase Req Lines that meet a certain set of condition e.g. from a specific site. For those Purchase Req Lines the same Vendor/Supplier exists multiple times. However I actually need a distinct list of VendorNo in a collection for a Sub Process.I have tried multiple ways to achieve this but I haven't succeeded yet. Anybody have a suggestion for a solution?

Hi,One of my customer is planning to use MCPR (Multi Company Project Reporting) for a large number of companies. They currently have about 80 companies with in total 2.000 projects. It should be possible for each employee to work on a project in any other company. This results in a large number of MCPR connections. We are wondering if this large number or connections can result in perfomance issues.Do you have experience with using MCPR time registration with a large number of connections? Do you experience performance issues with this?Kind regards,Paul Beekmans

We are using Apps 10 upd 13 and looking for some suggestions on how to trigger two different emails with different report layouts attached when our Invoices are printed.  We have been testing with the setup below. An event action (PDF_REPORT_CREATED) that has been in use in our prod environment for a couple years.  This sends an email with our default layout invoice to the correct recipient. A new Report rule that triggers a different email and recipient.  This email successfully sends to the correct recipients at invoice Print We are able to define the layout in this report rule, but it also changes the layout for the event action email, which is not what we are looking for.  We tried to use multiple report rules or to combine the two emails into one report rule but that did not work.  We do not want to use the PDF_REPORT_CREATED for our new email because we need several fields to be pulled into the email that are not available through the pdf_parameters.  Are there other options tha

When using migration jobs, it is possible to write files to an OnServer location. We are using IFS23R2 and the available locations (according to dropdown) are: I don't know if these are standard locations.Are these locations somewhere in our Cloud instance?How would one get to the files that are written to one of these? So how to read a file which was created there using the CREATE_OUTPUT_FILE procedure?I've tried to understand the answer of Himasha in:Totally unclear for me what to do. Also it seems that the documentation for IFS23R2 is helpfull for instances on premise, but I'm certain that I am not understanding that as well (see paragraph Formatting): File Configuration - Technical Documentation For IFS CloudAny help is welcome.

Hi, We have come across an issue where if we ‘order’ the business reporter report in Excel it errors as it cant find/run the macro.  But if we ‘load’ report, it loads up with the box at the top to enable macros. We click enable, then ‘run’ and the report works fine.  We have always had issues with these reports running out of the IFS application, which is why we use IFS Business Reporter instead. Are you able to assist with this query please? Our company does have a policy where they don’t want users to use macros, but I’m not sure of another way around it so I’m looking for any options. thank you for your time!

When a shipment is changing the status to complete, we need to collect commercial invoice and packing list operational reports in PDF format, to build the documentation package for the carrier. What would be the way to link an event/BPA  on the shipments table with a process of automatically generating these two operational reports and sending them to a SFTP location? Is there a way to maybe generate an XML file (same as an E-Invoice process) which can contain the PDF attachments base64 encoded and embedded in the XML?Any hints would be kindly appreciated.
