Hi All,We are looking at the Strategic Procurement Module - has anyone got a set up guide, detailed presentations, videos or any information on how they set it up or how they are using is it?We want to see if we can use it to score our suppliers on a ‘word’ based questionnaire/survey (similar to 1-5). Survey to be emailed to our internal team on Projects and results recording in Supplier file KPI.If anyone else is using it for this, happy to share information on how we have integrated the Sub Contractor capacity - T/O versus outstanding SC Order Valuations to pay :). Thanks Trudy

Dear community. Since moving to IFS Cloud we have found that when using the users local printers \\SERVER\PRINT to print reports, i.e. Purchase Order Arrival and Sales Order Quotation, if the report is landscape, it does not automatically rotate it, and it prints it on portrait orientation, and resizes the printout to fit inside the portrait orientation. We notice that when the job is printed, the system downloads the file to \downloads, which is expected, and when viewing the downloaded printout in Acrobat or similar, it appears to be in Landscape orientation, however the physical printout is always incorrect. I cant believe that we are the only ones that have ever seen this. Any assistance would be appreciated.David.

Can work Order Planning gantt in IFS Cloud 24R1 be enriched with custom fields?I have a requirement where work order planners need to plan and schedule work orders based on Equipment Object groups. Object group is not visible in the gantt view, so my intention was to add it as a custom field with page designer. However there is no list of attributes in the page designer. 

We are trying to delete an inventory part because it was entered incorrectly and are getting the following error message.  

Hi community, We work with IFS Apps10 and I'm trying to set up a Boomi integration for EDI Customer Orders via REST API calls.I managed to create a Customer order directly via the CustomerOrderHandling API, I'm able to make adjustments on the Lines, so that is working.But, it appears that in the Enterprise Explorer, within that created Customer Order, the "Send Confirmation" option is disabled . Searching the cause of this I found that in the Customer Order Presentation Object, a function CUSTOMER_ORDER_TRANSFER_API.Allowed_To_Send is called, which checks that the Customer order has a Message record in the table EXTERNAL_CUSTOMER_ORDER_TAB. It appears to be possible to pick a record in that table (with status Requires approval), patch it with the already created Customer Order number and then set the status to "Created" by means of the REST methodIncomingCustomerOrderHandling.svc/IncomingCustomerOrders(MessageId={messageID})/IfsApp.IncomingCustomerOrderHandling.IncomingCustomerOrder_Or

Hi,We are currently using tax class for sales parts and it generally works fine (tax code is picked up from tax codes per tax class depending on delivery country). We use IFS10, UPD 15.But do anyone have any instructions for how to work with exemptions?Example 1, domestic sales (delivery country is domestic) but sales should be with zero VAT – for this we have set up separate address ID for customer with tax liability “exempt” and added tax free tax code. This works fine, but is it the recommended solution?Example 2, delivery country is foreign (other EU country), but invoice goes to domestic customer who is not liable for VAT in delivery country, so sales should be with domestic VAT. Adding a tax code on the delivery address does NOT override tax class setup, so tax code is still picked up from tax code per tax class and then needs to be manually changed on the customer order. Is there any way of setting up a delivery address so that correct tax code would be picked up automatically?M

Hi all, when selecting the Time Type Description and the Cost Category Description in the Page Designer as Attribute in the Time Report and Expense Report Lists the column in the Service Protocol is not populated until the MWO App is initialized again.In case of the Time Type I think there even is no pure Description to select as attribute.Is there a way to utilize the Descriptions that are already loaded in the MWO to not require an initialization to finalize a visit/report?When using the DB Viewer I can see the TimeTypeDesc value in the wo_time_type and the Description in the jt_cost_category.   Missing entry in the Expenses list on the service report. This gets populated after an initializationThanks,Chris

Hi Community,I would like to use different tax codes on a manual supplier invoice based on the supplier invoice address ID.I’ve added separate address IDs and tax codes under Delivery Tax Information, and the “Use Supplier Address for Tax” option is enabled for both addresses. However, when creating a manual supplier invoice, the system always applies the tax codes from the address ID that is set as the default delivery address for the supplier.Does anyone know how to change this behavior?Thanks in advance.   

We are trying to configure our Navigator to be as streamlined as possible, and to hide unnecessary menu items for all users. With the Navigator you can control the items either through access to pages/projections, and they are hidden in the menu, or you can use the Hide function in the Navigator.This is specifically useful for items which are visible on multiple menu branches. My question is how to manage/solve the following scenario.If we have two types of users who should see different items in the menu.When you Hide all items under one Node, or have removed all projection access to items on one node, the Node item is still visible, but it’s now a dead/empty button where nothing happens when you click on it (and it is also reverted to English for some reason).The reason why we do this is that some items should be hidden for All users, but some items should be available and visible if you have access to that projection/page.The top Node cannot be hidden, since then the projection/page

Hi Community, I want to create a migration Job which calls the procedure Confirm_Alternates from Engineering Transfer_API view. The Parameter Structure_rec_ is a variable for the above procedure Can anyone help me on how to use this as a parameter in migration job?Best Regards,Thean

Hi together,we have the requirment to develop an interface which transfers data to an external system via REST and to use the response for a 2nd call. We did similar things already many times, usually we call the connect framework from PL/SQL (PLSQL_REST_SENDER_API) and process the response in PL/SQL via callback. This works fine as long the response data is placed in the body by the external system. But in this case we are getting back the response in the header. Is there any possibility to access the header tags? In this case we would need the information of “Location” for further processing.   

I’m trying to add an email into IFS Cloud programmatically. ✅Using https://ifspsd2-d05.demo.ifs.cloud/int/ifsapplications/entity/v1/BusinessMailEntity.svc allows me to insert my email header with create@BusinessMailSet.❌When I try to include the Body or HtmlBody parameter, I get a BadRequest error. How do I add my email body to the new header entry?

Hi, Does anyone know the logic for IFS Apps 10 when running costing for one specific part status, how does IFS determin what parts to include in the run?In the background job it  will show x nr of top parts where detected.The number here is much larger then top parts with the specific part status. Thanks in advance!Anna 

Hi @All,I´ve one question, we just installed Update 27 in APPS 10 and got now a strange error message, when we tried to change a weight (WEIGHT_NET in PART_CATALOG) for a part that is in use.The message tells us, that it is not possible to change a weight after there is a invoiced Shipment/customer order for that part.Is this a bug or a “new” function in IFS which cames with the update (we updated from 13 to 27)?Does anyone have experience with that issue?Thanks for any feedback.BRAndre

We have put in Update 28 to our 2 test environments.  We have found that the Purchase Order Authorization screen > View Only My Next Step generates an error for authorised users. If you are not an authoriser and therefore have nothing to authorise there is not an error.If you are an authoriser you get an ‘insufficient privileges’ error.Any ideas?  Is this another known bug in Update 28 that we have not been told about.PS - 2.0 folder has been deleted 

Hi,I found when trying to publish an imported custom projection (from ACP or item)  it gives an error when all the required other configurations in place.  This is in 24R2 3“Database error occurred. Contact administrator.Error details: [{"code":4050,"message":"ORA-04050: invalid or missing procedure, function, or package name"}] “.When looking into further it is found that entry is not getting added into the table custom_projection_tab when importing hence it fails when publishing.Any workaround for this? Thanks,Best Regards,Methshika    

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if there are existing connectors or plug-ins available to integrate IFS Cloud with Oracle Primavera Project Cloud (specifically the Primavera Cloud version, not P6 EPPM)? We’re exploring options for project planning and scheduling synchronization — ideally to exchange WBS structures, activity progress, and milestone updates between the two systems. Any insights, documentation, or examples from similar implementations would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

We are currently running on IFS Cloud - 24R2.0 - on premiseWe have multiple companies in our IFS environment. For each of these companies, we have set up database Task Schedules to run the Notify Next Authorizer task for Supplier Invoices.For each company, the task is set to run once a day, either at 6pm or 6am.We are having an issue with one scheduled task. We discovered it had been running every minute instead of once a day. When we look at the Execution Plan for each of the companies, we can see that the separator is a caret instead of a semi-colon like on all of the other tasks. This is the only task that has the caret and the only one that runs every minute.The issue is that we don’t know how we got this set up that way. The details of the scheduled task look the same as our other tasks and we don’t see anything that would indicate anything other than once a day.Any ideas on how we would have done this?  Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hi everybody,  I would like to import an external customer payment and match the information with an invoice by creating a mixed payment.  Basic data : Create a template  Create a Payment Format ID ; Create Payment Method and set payment method per institute and external payment parameters When we do that we can import correctly the CSV file and this file will be generated in the path menu External Payments :   When i check the detail i don't have a matching with the invoice and i miss the information   If someone know the setting to do? I think we have some setting to do in the path menu external payment parameters but i don’t know how to do it correctly.  Thank in advance for your reply,  Best Regards,Jeremy

Hi all, One of my construction industry customer frequently interact with multiple suppliers, including subcontractors and small suppliers. Each supplier is primarily identified by their ABN, which is a unique tax number. The ABN is stored in the association no field on the supplier page. During the processing of Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders, RFQs, Subcontracts, and Manual Supplier invoices, the customer often searches for suppliers by ABN to locate the correct record quickly.We need to do modifications to add the association number to the supplier selection process in the purchase requisition, purchase order, subcontract, etc.. Have any of you had a similar experience? If so, please share your experience or the workaround solutions you adopted. The customer is currently in the established stage with Cloud 25r1.  Thanks Bhaskara

Hi, In the Resource Monitoring Gantt, the assigned tasks displays the Work Task no. and the Task Description. E.g.   Is it possible to show the Actual Object instead of the Task Description without the need to modify the system? The Actual Object and further fields are displayed when the mouse hovers over the bar. Thanks in advance!

In 25R1, I am creating a Customer from the New Contact Screen.The duplicate check rule for single hit and combined hit are set as Active.The duplicate check action setup Default Action has been set as Prevent Save and set as Active.I entered the exact same name as a Customer that already exists.However, the duplicate check does not prevent the record from being saved.Any ideas as to the reason for this failure on the duplicate check ?
