I have been trying to receive a shop order using an IFS REST API. main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/ReceiveShopOrderHandling.svc/ReceiveShopOrderSetI execute this request successfully. I append the correct fields, quantities, and toggle the flags to denote reception. All rolls smooth and returns and object key and tag reference.I then executemain/ifsapplications/projection/v1/ReceiveShopOrderHandling.svc/ReceiveShopOrderSet(Objkey='" + key + "')/IfsApp.ReceiveShopOrderHandling.ReceiveShopOrder_FinishExecute?"to finish the execution and flush the virtual table. Both requests are successful and return 200 status opcodes. However, nothing happens in IFS. There is zero indication any receipt was performed. I pass in the correct order number, release number, sequence number, and part number. I also append my finish request with the appropriate e-tag and object key.Is this a known bug?
Hi All,Need guidance on how to configure overtime banking in IFS. The requirement is that employees can choose to bank their overtime hours instead of being paid at the 1.5 rate. They should be able to save up to 40 hours per year. They may then take time off in lieu and also build the bank back up again within the same year. Employees should have the flexibility to either:Convert the banked overtime hours into Lieu Leave, or Receive a payout on a selected date.If anyone knows how to set this up in IFS or has experience with a similar configuration, please advise.Thank you!
HiI am working on an integration IN IFS Cloud, where in PLSQL code I am getting the document from document management (as BLOB) and want to send it to Connect to be uploaded to ftp server using FTP_SENDER. I cannot find any method in PLSQLAP_SERVER_API that can handle BLOB message.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
Hi there,Version: 10.14Env: Enterprise ExplorerWhen i checked MEDIA_LIBRARY_API, i see limitated parameters as only 5 on procedure check_and_create_connection.So how can attach a media correctly when key values are higher than 5? Why this limitated actually, any idea?When i attach manually to some entity which key values parameters higher than 5 on enterprise explorer, i see CONNECTED_OBJ_REF1 .. CONNECTED_OBJ_REF5 in media_library_tab, but also i see 7 parameters on KEY_REF column. Also this entity has 8 keys field not even 7. What is the point here?Do u know any other way? Maybe with a custom pl/sql for transform manipulation on object connection etc.Thanks.

There isn’t any field level help for the Proportion field on the Limit Definition Details screen. It’s in the Limit Settings grouping. We have it set to Yes, Must be earned before used. We’re assuming that within a period, which we’ve defined as 2 weeks that if we’re 1 week into a period that 50% of the period’s allocation will be earned. Then we have the phrase “must be earned before used”, we think this implies that the absence isn’t earned until the employee works that period. In other words, if the employee leaves at the beginning of the 3rd period in December, they will only accrue 2 weeks of the monthly amount and not the full month’s amount.Are we understanding how this works correctly? Thank you
Hello,I’m working on a workflow which :- create catalog / inv / purchase / sales part on different sites- create routing and product structure, work guidelines and fill those with an original shop order / sales part datas- create a supplier for purchase part link and create price list element Link of png of the bpa as i can’t upload directly here : https://ibb.co/wrQvL9ZTThis include a lot of API GET calls to get data to construct POST calls, and to control state of data for logic control.I’m getting the following error when I try to inspect it (to finish to build the workflow) :“It took long time to inspect the Workflow. Please limit the amount of data and try again.”How am I supposed to avoid this ?Thank you
While creating a service organization sales part not visible but in the sales part tab it is visible Can you please provide the missing steps for this?
Hi All, A customer has a process where they create a work order + work task. From that Work order they create the Service Quotation. Now they had the case that something went wrong and they cancelled one of the work tasks connected to that work order. But when you try to create a Service Quotation now, IFS will give an error: Now I don’t fully understand why IFS gives this error. Shouldn’t the proper behaviour be to create the Service Quotation but ignore the Cancelled Work Task? is there anything I am missing here because right now the only option I see is that my customer needs to cancel the entire WO (including the correct Work Tasks) and start all over again.(I also tested to create a Service Quotation and use ‘Connect WO’ but that give the same error). Any tips or suggestions on this error? Best RegardsRoel Timmermans
When trying to create a new service quotation from the work task, the system blocks the action due to a cancelled task within the work order.
We would like to generate payment advice per supplier within the Supplier Payment Proposals.For some supplier we do get the email but not for others. To create the payment order : Where are only getting One email for one supplier. Here is our setup : Report Definition : Supplier payment Contact is well configured with an email contact and the payment advice field is “at create order” The event is triggered but not for all supplier :
HiWe are working in App9 SP11I have a reported problem where we have project demand for a particular part. When we run Project MRP for the project activity, it creates requisitions for other demands on the same activity, but not for this one specific part.I cannot see any issues with the part - it has the same config as for all the others.Is there a log for Project MRP? The background job doesn’t provide enough information. I’m hoping that that there is a log somewhere that might give a clue why this particular part demand is not being processed.
This is an issue I’ve faced for quite a while now, it’s been tested in both 24R1 and 25R1. Whenever I create an end event of type IFS Failure Event and enter another locale, it replaces any non-english characters with diamond question marks in the client. In this example I’ve used Swedish åäö but I assume it would be the same for other languages. So far I’ve just rewritten the messages with synonyms but it’s getting unfeasible with more specific messages.This is how it looks like in the designer: This is the message shown to the user: This is what the debugger shows: Is there any specific notation we can use to get around this? Is the issue in Camunda or IFS?
We have Recently implemented SSO on our PPM development instance. As part of the process, non-federated user accounts now require email-formatted usernames.We have an FSM integration that updates certain data in PPM (e.g., task dates and status). After SSO changes, FSM is failing to send updates because the credentials used in the XML scripts for integration still reference the old username format.Could you please suggest, what is the recommended approach to update FSM integration credentials and test them before moving SSO changes to production?Advance thank you!!
Hi All,We are facing an issue with IFS Cloud when uploading XML files to a third-party SFTP server hosted by a bank.When IFS Connect uploads the file to the SFTP server, it follows this pattern:Initially uploads the file as:ISO20022_55c5746a-XXXXXX.xml.partThen attempts to rename it to:ISO20022_55c5746a-XXXXXX.xmlIt seems the rename operation might be failing or getting blocked, possibly due to security policies on the bank’s SFTP server. In some cases, the connection is dropped or blocked entirely after this step.Has anyone else experienced this behavior with IFS Connect and SFTP?Is there a configuration in IFS Cloud to avoid using .part extensions?Skip or handle rename conflicts gracefully?Any best practices when uploading to strict SFTP servers (e.g., those that don’t allow overwrite or rename of existing files)?How can we ensure a smooth, secure transfer without triggering security measures?Any insights, experiences, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance

When you create GTIN-14 for packages, you can create them using the package indicator and the GTIN of the packaged part.How can we generate a GTIN-14 based on an existing GTIN-13?For example: we have products that we sell in boxes of 30 pieces (inventory UoM). How can we ensure that a single piece has a GTIN-13, and the box has a GTIN-14? And how can that conversion factor be linked between the two? Is there any specific data setup for this?

Hello, I am running into an issue with timezones when sourcing from an internal supplier manually when I change the ship via code in the “Source from Suppliers” dialog.When the ship-via code is changed in the dialog, the “EP Due Date” changes from (for example) 10/31/2025 12:00 AM to 10/30/2025 8:00 PM (the timezone offset from UTC => EST). 8:00 PM is outside working hours, and an error message displays:“Invalid value for property EpDueDate”The user is unable to save the record unless they manually change the EP Due Date to a time within working hours.Scenario:Timezones: Demand site is America/New_York Supply site is America/New_York User timezone is America/New_York Company timezone is America/New_York Calendars are generated. Customer Order line is using “Not Decided” supply code Using “Source Order Lines Manually” + “Source From Suppliers” What I’ve tried:Attaching the distribution calendar to the ship via codes Changing the timezone on the Company to UTC.

Hi allRecently some end users have reported delays in report pick of Customer Orders, we are on Apps10.One site highlights 10 or more (maybe 20/30 orders) > Report Pick > Move to Shipment inventory. IFS takes upwards of a minute, sometimes longer to finalize the transactionOnce site report picks each line via the same method and IFS takes around 8 - 12 seconds.Can I ask if this is normal behavior for other customers who report the same way? Any insight or advise would be great.ThanksRavi
