We're experiencing performance issues with the Find and Connect process within the Export Control module.  We're shipping an assembly via Customer Order that contains approximately 2800 unique part numbers. We have licenses that match, but the act of checking the "Connected" checkbox takes about 9 seconds of processing time in the database for each row.  This results in around 7 hours of processing time to connect all licenses.  We've attempted this via DB script as well and the processing time is the same. Our licenses do not have a quantity or dollar amount limitation.  The license being connected to uses mostly wildcards (%) in the criteria.  Has anyone else encountered a performance issue with running find and connect against a large structure, and what workarounds are available?

There is a need from the customer for IFS' B2B portal. However, there are the requirements for the following:- How can suppliers confirm an order with differences? Currently i set up the B2B portal but there is only an option to confirm without any differences (happy flow):- Are these differences automatically reflected in the purchase order or can an approval process be set up for the buyer?

Hi All,I need some assistance implementing automatic day type switches in cloud.Is it possible to see whether a day type switch has been activated - which screen please?Is it possible to use the day type switch when logging in/out times in the time card or time card details screen?

Hi,Has anyone had issues using the ‘Connect Characteristc to’ option in Apps10 CTO Configuration Characteristics. I have copied my part configuration revision so I have revision 2 with a status of tentative. I have then created a new configuration characteristic and used the ‘Connect Characteristc to’ option from RMB to connect it to the family and the tentative part configuration revision. It is correctly added to both family and the part configuration revision, but when I test the part configuration revision the new characteristic does not appear so value can not be entered???However if I now delete this newly added Characteristic from the part configuration revision, and then use the ‘Add New’ on the part configuration to add it back in, when I now test the part configuration revision the characteristc will appear and works as it should. I have also tried releasing the part configuration revision after adding a new characteristic using the  ‘Connect Character

It is mentioned in the IFS product documentation that it’s possible to confirm a purchase order with changes by the supplier via the B2B portal.  However, I do not see the option to do so in the B2B portal. It only has the “Confirm” option and this will confirm without any changes. Version: IFS Cloud 24.2.0 Am I missing something here or is this actually a bug?

We occasionally have MRP jobs in error with the following message Error snapshot MRP Supply/Demand. Site/Part/ABC Class ABC/123123123123/C. Source/Order MRP/29578848, *, *, 37. Original error ORA-20112: MrpPartSupplyDemand.EXIST2: The Mrp Part Supply Demand object already exists. We do tick the ‘Stop on Error’ checkbox when running because if there is an error we want to know about it.  We’ve never completely bottomed out what set of circumstances have fallen into place that generate this error and generally put it down to maybe someone updating demand or supply manually or running MRP at the same time.  Does anyone in the community know what particular processes/conflicts are taking place to generate this error? Thanks. 

When a shop order is in status Parked, any material lines which are reserved to the SO is not visible in IFS menu “inventory part in stock reservations”. Moreover, the reserved qty´s (although not yet on a pick list) cannot be moved to a different location unless you unreserve the SO material line.  In contrast, shop orders which are not Parked show reserved lines in “inventory part in stock reservations” and allow for re-location until pick list creation.  We are currently using IFS Cloud 25R2 SU6. The issue with Parked SO´s appeared either when we moved from APP10 to Cloud, or after the last release update.  Can we make Parked SO´s have their reserved lines behave the same as other SO´s?  Screenshots attached for better illustration. 

Good day, We periodically need to copy work orders with a large number of tasks. We use Code F in the preposting to capture the work order number.When the Copy Work Order function is used it copies the prepostings as well. The new work order and tasks therefore has Code_F as the old work order number. How can we set the system (IFS Cloud) to pick up the new work order number in the prepostings? Alternatiely, if we had to change it manually, it means changing the preposting on the new work order and then having to individually change the preposting on each work task manually (and there may be many work tasks per work order). Is there a way to update the preposting on the work tasks by updating the preposting on the work order header?    

Hello,Is it possible to set up automatic reservations for only select customers in IFS Cloud?

We are migrating to Cloud 24R2 from App9 and have several Report Rules that utilize Tray Printing.  I am not seeing that as an option in Cloud Report Rule Actions.This is an example from App9 - in Cloud the Tray information ended up in the same line as the Printer Name.  Is that just the way it will be configured there?

Hi,We’re just getting started with IFS and I’m trying to understand how Manufacturing Part Attributes get populated. I can see that they are stored in ManufPartAttribute entity but can’t see how they qualify to get included in that entity. I can’t add a new one from Manufacturing Part Attributes screen so I guess that adding something to a Master Part is creating a ManufPartAttribute but I can’t work out what.Any help appreciated. 

All,We are upgrading to IFS Cloud 23R2 (Remote) from Apps 10, where we have historically used FTP as a repository type. Since this is no longer supported, we are moving to File Share and use of a Windows share instead.We have manually moved the files from FTP to File Share.I am looking for guidance on what I need to do to change the "file pointer" in Docman as well as add some metadata used by File Storage please for all our existing documents?Does someone have a pre-existing script they would be willing to provide? Thanks in advanceShaun
