In the Project Navigator, when a line is added in the Demand tab, two lines are automatically created in the Activity -> Cost tab with line IDs L01 and S01.Could anyone please help explain:From where these two cost lines are generated? Which configuration, rule, or process is responsible for creating both L01 and S01? Is this behavior standard in IFS Project or triggered by any specific setup?Your guidance on where to check or how to control this behavior would be highly appreciated.Thank you.
Loading large CAMT files (e.g., 6.6 MB containing 12,500 transaction lines and approximately 521,000 rows) into IFS Cloud 25R1 SU3 is currently not possible. When attempting this with the “Allow Automatic Matching” toggle enabled, the process fails with the error:ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [LOAD_FILE_ID] is mandatory for Ext File Log and requires a valueDisabling the toggle avoids the error, but this forces manual matching—a highly time‑consuming process that is impractical for customers handling large volumes of transactions.IFS R&D has provided a workaround: The “Allow Automatic Matching” toggle must be turned off. A new button has been introduced in External Payment Details: “Check and Match all items in background”. This runs the matching process as a background job. Previously, selecting “Check and Match all items” resulted in timeout errors; the background job avoids this. While this solution is more feasible than manual one‑by‑one matching, it has limitatio

Hi,Where in IFS can a manager get an summarized overview with employees overtime, flextime and sick leave during a time period?Not just day by day.Is there an report for this or a lobby element. Employee Results does not show the total value, only day by day. Regards
I know this sounds crazy, but we have reached out to our last 3 IFS sales people and none of them are responding and we want to buy more licenses! and we can’t reach anyone in North America sales! Does anyone know how to get in touch with IFS North America sales anymore? We are in the Northeast and since Rick Bucchino left to work more on the product side, we can not get anyone in Sales to answer the phone to allow us to buy more licenses. Any help (email/phone) would be appreciated! Chuck Hamilton (Fresenius Medical Care - NxStage Medical Inc)
The IFS Cloud Service module does not include a way to print "Survey Answers" from the IFS MWO Service app.This means Customers need to MOD the code go through creating a new report process ( i.e. creating report packages and views) even if it is a small configuration.Has anyone managed to meet these requirements without a Modification?Many thanks
Hi,Our requirement is to add products to a contract so that we can schedule regular and ad-hoc servicing of the products.We have imported Request Contracts and Equipment Objects but would like advice on how to import Contract Lines to link the Equipment Objects to the Request Contracts. It looks like we need to import to psc_product_service_item and psc_contr_product but I feel that there is more to it than this.Any help much appreciated.
Hello, I am facing a blocking issue when using the projection:CreateCopyProjectHandling.svc / CreateCopyProjectVirtual_DoCreate The POST request executes correctly, but the backend returns this error: DATABASE_ERROR ORA-20105: FndEventAction.EVENT_ACTION_ERROR: The Event Action "Workflow" on "C_ACTIVITY" has failed. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.FND_EVENT_ACTION_API" ... ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.EVENT_SYS" ... ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.C_ACTIVITY_EVI", line 11 What I observed I have an Event Action attached to Activity / C_ACTIVITY which triggers a BPMN workflow. The workflow never starts: no instance appears, the watcher shows no activity. I removed all conditions and all OLD/NEW attributes from the Event Action → error still occurs. I even tested with only Workflow ID enabled, same result. Therefore it is not related to the BPMN process itself. AnalysisI inspected the trigger C_ACTIVITY_EVI: msg_ := Message_SYS.Con
Hi all We are scheduling a quick Report When report gets created the fields which suppose to be numbers turn into the format of general. which makes a report quite painful to work with. i tried to convert somehow the number by setting on the debit amount the “to_number” to see if the column E ist getting converted correctly. see below query. SELECT a.STR_CODE AS "Transaktionscode", to_char(a.DATE_APPLIED, 'DD.MM.YYYY') AS "DATUM", a.EVENT_CODE AS "Event", a.ACCOUNT_NO AS "Konto", to_number(SUM(NVL(a.DEBIT_AMOUNT, 0))) AS "Soll", SUM(NVL(a.CREDIT_AMOUNT, 0)) AS "Haben", SUM(a.DEBIT_CREDIT_AMOUNT) AS "Betrag", a.CODENO_B AS "Kostenstelle", a.CODENO_D AS "Produktgruppe", a.STATUS_CODE AS "Status", NVL(b.SOURCE_REF1, c.ORDER_NO) AS "order no"FROM IFSAPP.MPCCOM_AC

Dear community. I am working through an upgrade from Apps9 to IFS Cloud and am recreating some of the Custom Menus with Commands. I have come across the situation that didnt occur in apps 9, which is the data types in a Window with Transfer type of Menu/Command. Here is an example, a custom menu in Apps9 which transferred to Inventory Transaction History, and showed all transaction history associated with that material line, in Apps 9, the source/destination keys were ORDER_NO, RELEASE_NO, SEQUENCE_NO AND LINE_ITEM_NO mapped to SOURCE_REF1, 2,3,4 accordingly. This works fine in Apps9. In Cloud (23R1) when attempting to create the same, since the source data type in the Shop Order Material Line is a Number field, and the SOURCE_REF4 column is a String this error appears when attempting to load the Inventory Transactions History list. Error details: [{"code":"TYPES_NOT_COMPATIBLE","message":"The types 'Edm.String' and 'Edm.SByte' are not compatible."}]When looking at the detail in the Se
Hi, When you have a Customer Order Line and Sourcing DOP, you get Purchase Req for componets related to this demand if you have “Allow MRP Explosion for DOP Parts” set to true (and that Customer order Line is set to “Released for Mtrl Planning”).Purchase of LLIT can be done, so far so good.But when the Customer Order is released and the DOP Header is created, the demand for purchase parts is gone. This cause issues in purchasing and MRP Action Proposal/ Inventory Part Availability Exeptions shows that you have no demend. Then you create the DOP Structure, and the demand is back again.Is there some parameter I miss, as DOP Header is not seen as a demend or is it a way to automaticully create DOP Structure when the DOP Header is created?From an user perspective it’s easy to miss the step to create DOP Structure as soon as Customer Order is released and usualy this is done in two different departments in the organisation which complicate this even more and big risk for error in supply.I d
Hello Comminuty, I have been trying to get multiple external payments created for different cash accounts (multiple currencies) through the same CAMT054 file with no luck. Receives the following error: ExecutionException from Sender thread Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$PermanentFailureException: ORA-20124: Error.NULLVALUE: Field [LOAD_FILE_ID] is mandatory for Ext File Log and requires a value. The file contains 3 notifications for EUR, USD and SEK iban numbers. Is this not supported by us or are we missing something in the configuration? When I remove the rest of the notifications and try the same file with a single notification, it works and creates an external payment for the relevant cash account. Appreciate if someone could assist to confirm if this is supported as the customer is currently receiving this from their bank. BR!

There are major issues regarding performance when working in the Project Gantt chart. Even a small WBS will be a challenge and for example creating activities and creating/adjusting dependencies can take minutes. I know this has been a challenge for several years and there are a few topics on the matter. Can we expect any improvements in the near future regarding this issues? Running on 23R2.
Hello,I’m experiencing an issue with reservations in the Customer Order module. A few months ago we introduced new processes in the WADACO module, and since then I’ve noticed some irregular behavior related to reservations.Our workflow is as follows: we create a customer order, and once the pick list is generated, a shipment is automatically created and linked to it. The problem is that the reserved quantities sometimes change unexpectedly.For example, we sell 100 units of a product, but in the reservation view we can see a higher reserved quantity — it suddenly increases to a larger value, e.g., 120 units, without any clear reason.Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows what might be causing this?Thanks
Hi,It isn’t possible to connect a project activity from the order object if the item has moved beyond the Planned status, regardless of whether it is a Customer Order Line, Purchase Order Line, or Shop Order. The item must be in Planned status to enable the connection.However, several customers have raised concerns about this limitation, expressing the need to have the “Connect to Activity” functionality available even after the Customer Order (CO) is released to connect projects, as this is a common scenario in real-world business operations. Thanks,Vihan Weerapura
We have a couple of report layouts that can’t be opened in Report Designer 200.3.0000The layouts work in IFS Cloud to generate printouts and they can be opened and modified in the older Report Designer for v10 (100.0.0003).The error message given, when opening the layout, in the latest version:“Mismatch between total span of value of 120 and no of columns of the table”Clicking OK on the message, the layout is closed and not possible to edit in this version. I can’t find anything in the documentation about this error, or anyone who can answer and help me how to address the issue.To be able to work around this I had to install the old version of Report designer on a different server, because the old version requires Java 8 while the new version requires Java 11 and I can’t make them co-exist on the same computer. The only location where ‘120’ exists in the RDL is in this location: <table-cell> <properties>
Hi,I have a mismatch between the PSO allocation and the information that arrived in IFS Cloud.My scheduling window is very large, 30 days. I have a task scheduled in PSO for 02/12/2025; however, this information did not come back to IFS Cloud. When I have an allocated date of 01/12/2025, this information does come back to IFS Cloud. I don’t know where or if there is a value that needs to be set. Can someone advise me?Thanks.Stefania
Hi.We’ve been doing some modifying via page designer on request of our users and updating some fields on the Service Contract page as “Required”. Setting fields in a Wizard will highlight a required field in red if its left empty, but this doesn’t seem to be the case on pages that do not include wizards as seen here: You can see the * next to the field name indicating its required, but even when blank its not highlighted in red. This is also the case for fields that are not custom.Are the fields not being highlighted on regular views because they’re not required for creating the pages content such as in a wizard, or is there a way to get these fields to also be highlighted? Thank you in advance.
In IFS Cloud, Functional Objects are used to build the physical/site structure, and Serial Objects represent instantiated parts with a serial number (e.g., each machine is a Serial Object belonging to a Functional Object/site).What is the recommended or reference method in IFS Cloud to: Capture and maintain the software version for each machine (each Serial Object)? Track software products installed at a site that do not have a serial number and therefore cannot be represented as Serial Objects? Out of the box, I see several possible mechanisms, but I’m unsure which one is considered best practice for software/version tracking: Technical Classes / Characteristics Test Points / Parameters Documents (DMS) Service Notes Installed Base Object Structure (but software is not serialized → would need to be a Functional Object, which cannot be placed under a Serial Object) What is the usual or recommended approach to model machine firmware/software versions and site-level software in
