 Hi!The requirement is to display the absence hours in the ‘Activity Load Details’ in the “Resource Analysis” page (See screenshot 1) when an employee records absence using ‘Attendance Hours’ in the “Time Registration” window (See screenshot 2). When using the “Time registration” window to record absence, it picks ‘Wage Type’ and ‘Wage Code’ not the absence type. However, would like to know how this connection is built and what are the basic data that we must review to ensure the connection. This is from 24R2 version. Please assist. Thank you!Screenshot 1   Screenshot 2

Is there an OOTB screen that a user can search a customer by a phone number? Our use case: we want to integrate a telephony system to IFS so when a person rings in a IFS screen will appear with a list of customers and then the user can access the customer account or customer 360 screen So far we are unable to find a screen to search by phone number so thinking would need to make a custom screen via a CRIM

Hi team, We are working on using Boomi to integrate IFS and Procore. We are facing a few issues with the IFS Apps10 connector and unsure if this is lack of our understanding or something the connector does not support. Appreciate any insights in our challengesFor get operations we are unable to send query parameters which we can when using Postman, this has forced us to create custom projections when we could use a standard with query parameters. For post operations we run into the XSRF issue and have to perform a get call first to get the XSRF token. Is the approach always to perform the get and then use the post connector or can the post connector handle the XSRF call internally.Appreciate your insights. Thanks,Nitin

We’re integrating IFS Apps 10 to Salesforce via Boomi.  We’re finding that the standard APIs as defined in IFS do not contain all of the data elements needed to create or update records in Salesforce and we may be creating custom APIs to achieve our objectives.  Are there other customers who have connected Salesforce to IFS via Boomi?  It would be helpful to know whether you were able to use standard or had to create custom APIs and other helpful lessons learned as we progress in our journey.

Hello, Reaching out for your expert advice.I have a shop order connected to a Project. The transactions are generated as in the table. At the cost bucket, the Inventory value gets distributed in Labour, Overhead and Direct Materials, but at Project Monitoring the cost split between cost elements - Labour, Overhead and Material is also to be displayed.How should the cost elements be mapped to display those elements in Project Monitoring? Thank you.

Hello IFS Community,--IFS version: v10As part of one of our lobbies, we’re trying to enable users to navigate to the applicable screen/form based on the record from the lobby and its invoice type. In other words and as displayed in the image, trying to navigate to the invoice in Preliminary status based on its invoice type (eg.

HiWe are using IFS Cloud for Service Management connected to IFS PSO 6.15. I am currently trying to run a simulation of a day of service using the OSV functionality. I have successfully created the activity data to replicate the time slots for appointments used for work in the simulation. The problem arises that the shift defaults to a 9am start and the start of the simulation is from 08:50, but the first appointment starts at 8am.My question is if this time can be adjusted to cover the time period I’m looking to replicate in this scenario?My only alternative I can think of is to move all appointment slots back 1hr (so the earliest starts at 9am) and then extend the shift back 1hr using an overtime at the same cost as the regular shift.Thanks

Hello, I am looking for a way to restrict users’ access to some of the controls in the IFS table view. I have not seeing anything in Permission Sets. I would like to prevent them from going into settings and column chooser. I would also like to set a default view for the table and the number of records it returns. I have not found anything in the help or on the community that outlines how this control works. In IEE I was able to user Permission Sets to prevent users from making changes to the appearance of screen. Any guidance for IFS Cloud would be greatly appreciated. 

Our customer has a  situation where engineers are unable to complete work tasks for various reasons, hence puts the task to incomplete with incomplete reason. Based on incomplete reason we would need a revisit on the same task and hence a new assignment is needed.If we do it from Mobile we have two options,Assign to me (which asks for preferred date and time) Needs to be plannedIdeally the requirement is let PSO decide when can it be replanned for based on the SLA. However problem here is, if we give the option of Needs to be planned, it creates a the new allocation but goes to unallocated as it becomes a co-requisite of the previous assignment (one which was incompleted) and thus cannot be scheduled by PSO anymore and also it will never go to the same technician even if technician has the available. And if we give assign to me, we need to give the preferred date and time and it goes to accepted status directly which is completely wrong.I’m looking for suggestions or best practices on

Hi,  We are considering utilizing the "One Time Supplier" function in IFS and adding a new address ID for each supplier linked to a specific supplier number. Are there any restrictions on the number of address IDs that can be associated with a single supplier?

 Hello,I need your help to understand and find out if I am doing something wrong (perhaps incorrect settings).I placed a purchase order related to the project for a value of €1,000. The part is entered into stock at €1,000.I take the part out of the project and it comes out at 172.92 (Valo PUMP).I see that I have a value of 827.08 in my project stock, but I no longer have the part in stock, so it's 827.08. What should I do with it, as it appears in the accounts under account 31100000?Thank you for your help.  Financial project Inventory transaction history

Currently, we do not have a developer in-house that works with our service desk team with maintaining Assyst.  We’d like to work with a 3rd party developer to help us get the most out of Assyst vs using the basic functions in Assyst.  Does anyone use a developer outside of their company for Assyst Development?  Looking for recommendations.   Thank you.

Hi,I’m currently investigating a new demand to see whether it is possible to add a “crossmark”/diagonal lines that spans over several rows/columns and that is visible dependent on certain conditions.I have tried without success and also read up on the documentation that is connected to Report Designer layouts, but haven't found anything that supports this new demand.Rough visualisation of the crossmark / diagonal lines that we want to incorporate.Layout structureThe main point is that the crossmark should be presented over the “grayed-out area”. The area that is being grayed-out is either on the left or right side of the layout, dependent on certain conditions.Having my doubts to whether this is possible to achieve with the Report Designer-tool, since it is structured on row/column-level. But if anyone has any suggestion on how this could be solved, I’ll happily take all feedback I can get. Thanks in advance,David 

Good day,Is there an option in IFS Cloud to inherit the reserve/issue method in product structures from the inventory part value? Is there an mass update function available for this?

Hello Folks ! Just wanted to share something I fixed recently with Incoming Customer Order in IFS Cloud 25R1.  We have been using the SalesMessageService API to create Incoming Customer orders for some time now.  We recently updated to 25R1 and noticed that the incoming customer order API broke. OverviewIf you’ve recently upgraded or considering upgrading to IFS Cloud 25R1 and use the SalesMessageService API for creating Incoming Customer Orders, this update may affect you. A field change in the order‐lines payload is causing deserialization errors. The Error You’ll See{  "error": {    "code": "ODP_DESERIALIZATION_ERROR",    "message": "Error while de-serializing contents.",    "details": [      {        "message": "Tree should be empty but still has content left: WantedDeliveryDate"      },      {        "code": "UNKNOWN_CONTENT",        "message": "'WantedDeliveryDate' can not be mapped as a property or an annotation."      }    ]  }} What Changed Element Before (Pre-25R1)
