I cannot really find a clear simple answer as to the difference between By-Product and Disassembly Components and when to use each one. It would be helpful if there was a matrix with checkboxes on each describing what they can do. In general vocabulary terms, By-Product is usually an unitnentional secondary product where disassembly would be parts… but in IFS terms, what is the difference? Are there limitations of one vs the other? Labor / part cost differences? Other?
Hi All,Could you please confirm when the PO is with the 'Pending Changes' tag, is it allowed to proceed with the Register Arrival and do the receipt?I created a PO which is in Confirmed status and then created a Change Order, and now it is in Released status. With that open Change Order, the system allows proceeding with the PO via Register Arrival and performing the receipt.I think if there is any open Change Order available for a particular PO, then the system shouldn't allow proceeding with that PO with those pending changes. Is this the correct behavior?Or is there any basic data setup that we can use to prevent proceeding with the PO which has open Change Orders?
Hi All, I have setup a non-inventory purchase part and created a PO for it. I have included PO charges as well. When I receive the PO, I am unable to find the charge amount in INVETORY TRANSACTIONS HISTORY or Purchase Transaction History . Is this a system limitation or Posting control related Issue? ThanksKind regardsChanaka
For some parts we get error when creating transport task so it is not possible to move parts between stocks. Some parts can be added to transport task without problem but some always get this error eventhough user can see the part at his stock and the quantity is even shows in the transport task form.Does someone have any idea what could cause this issue? Error message: Failed to read expression value from PartInStock.QtyAvailable
Hello,In production processes, after 5-6 operations, the finished product is produced. Depending on the company's requirements, each operation is managed as a new repair work order in IFS setups. The manufacturing material number does not change. In these production runs, the materials to be produced are tracked manually based on the assigned lot. This lot number remains the same throughout product production. In most cases, after a shop order has been partially received based on the lot size (the shop order has not been closed), production is attempted with the same lot number on a new shop order. In this case, while reserving a lot in IFS, a history record associated with the lot exists in another shop order, or when receiving it for production, but you cannot perform any operations, I receive errors. How can I provide a solution? Best Regards,
Hello, For a shop order with an outside operation, when it is released, a PR/PO is created! For a reason, the purchasing team delayed the receipt date on PO or the supplier confirmed a different delivery date. I have done some tests and the modification on PO have no impact on shop order scheduling. It does not modify Start/finish date of the following operations. Do you have an idea about please? and is there a solution? thanks
HiI recently started with the course “IFS Cloud - Human Capital Management - Employee & Organization Management (Virtual Blended Course)”, ID: SOCLDBEOM202303I completed the course, but without training in the specific environment for it. So now that I got access to the environment, I can’t seem to re-launch the learning videos anymore.For context: Registered for the course on 29/10/2025, finished the course on 30/10/2025. Normally the videos should stay available for 1 month isn’t it? As you can see below, there doesn’t seem to be the option to re-launch any of the videos. Does anyone know what’s wrong? Any help is welcome.

Hello,I’m on ifs cloud 24R1 environnement.I’m working on unballasting automatization flow and I use workflow BPA for this.In the flow, I have at some point the need to close a price line from the supplier for purchase part entityI checked the network logs (chrome inspector) to see what the close button call : So it call a function named PurchaseQuantityPrice_CancelWhen I check the documentation of the projection SupplierForPurchasePartHandling I can not find the function.But I can use it into my API Call in the workflow : I set the parameters I found in the URL Call, but it doesn’t work, I got the following error : Projection call with name PurchaseQuantityPrice_Cancel does not have the expected parameters. I Activated the “log errors” option into the API Call, but as you can see on the screenshot above, there is no eyes after the call in error, the log error option doesn’t seems to work.It’s the first time I see this behaviour, I don’t know how to set parameters as there is no docu
https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r2/060_development/027_base_server_dev/225_reduced_downtime_delivery/#pipeline_improvements1.Are the only code changes that Uptime Maximizer customers need to make the code changes to the INS file, as described at the following URL?https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r2/060_development/027_base_server_dev/225_reduced_downtime_delivery/020_code_changes/020_uptime_changes/#additional_code_changes_for_uptime_maximizer_customers2.The installation process will likely differ depending on whether or not you use Uptime Maximizer. Are there any additional steps involved during installation, and could you please provide specific instructions?3.When applying 25R2, is it acceptable to simultaneously correct the customizations present in Customer Solution and the upgrades required for Uptime Maximizer support, and then perform a sanity build?4.Regarding the changes in handling background jobs, do we need to make any changes to our customer's source code?https://docs.ifs.

Hi everyone,I’m facing an issue while Creating a new item in ProjectSetupParametersHandling/Projects/ProjectRoleAssignmentArray via an IFS API call in a workflow. The request fails with the following error message:"Failed to create the entity as it would be unreachable from the current path.” Workflow looks like this:There is also strange error when I don’t provide AssignSeqNo variable:“Please add value for key AssignSeqNo of nested entity ProjectRoleAssignmentArray.”Shouldn't it create this ID automatically? What am I missing?

Hello,I’ve created a Migration job for importing new service resources in Cloud. By baseline, while creating a New Service Resource, it automatically creates a Maintenance Employee record and assigns it to the Service Resource created.But while creating a Migration job, the Maintenance Employee record is not created. Also the Resource Connection with the Company and Site are not setup properly.Below is the Method List used to create Service Resources and Connections. What could be the possible reasons? Any inputs would be appreciated.Kind RegardsPriyanka Cecilia
I'd like to know how to register new customer order headers and line items in the same migration job.I have tried this and confirmed that adding CUSTOMER_ORDER and CUSTOMER_ORDER_LINE to the "Method List" tab allows me to update them all at once. However, when I try to insert both the header and line items, I get the error "DEVELOPER_ERROR_03: Most likely a usage definition is wrongly defined for LU: [CustomerOrder] in table RM_ACC_USAGE_TAB, internal exception: [Ex_Get_Id]."

Hello there!I have been struggling with this problem in the past few days. While creating a quick search group (table ps_quick_search), I am able to create it but this message keeps showing up in the Web Client.Through investigation, I believe it is because only 3 of 6 required fields are sent to the data base but as this is OOTB thing, I don’t know how to change it. The problem is this only happens for a certain role because if I perform this action with others, the message doesn’t show up.I have also performed the test with two versions of the same screen (same role for both) and for one of them the message doesn’t show up, so I don’t believe it is a role problem.Has this happened to anyone?

Hi,I have created a custom field in IFSAPP10 but it is not displayed in IFS Report Designer.Enabled On Reports tick box is ticked as well. Can anyone help me to get the custom field to the IFS Report Designer.
Hi!We want to show which user has executed the transport task in entity TransportTask. I know I could enable history log for the LU, but this is not searchable.My thesis is to add a persistent custom field on the entity that can be filled with Fnd_Session_API.Get_Fnd_User() through a custom event, and fire when user is executing the transport task (when object PRINTED_FLAG is changed from 0 to 1). However, I keep getting error messages when pressing Execute, especially ORA-01008: not all variables bound.Is my thesis even doable? If so, can anyone help me? If not, does anyone know what else I could to to achieve this?Best regards, Henning
Hi everyone,I’m looking for feedback from IFS Cloud users on how you manage employee claims for cents per kilometer. Are you primarily using the Expense module for this, or have you configured an approach within the Timecard that integrates seamlessly with payroll alongside other timecard transactions? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Emilly BarkerProject Quantum Test Lead - HCMQuanta Services Australia
Part Serial can be connected to a Rental Fixed AssetYou can make a Part Serial ‘Maintenance Aware’ and by doing so create a Serial ObjectThis Serial Object can be connected to a Fixed Asset Now our general approach is to make Maintenance Aware in the same company that owns the Fixed Asset. How can I correct it if a user has manually made a Part Serial Maintenance Aware in a wrong company? E.g.Fixed Asset owned in France Part Serial linked to this Fixed Asset Part Serial Make Maintenance Aware > you can choose in which company For this particaul car it is wrongly 1001 while it should have been 1011 Denys France SAS, then the Serial Object should be connected to the Fixed Asset A791100003 in 1011
Hello everyone! I would like to know if there is a way to integrate Microsoft Forms with IFS.I will explain what I would like to do: I created a form by Microsoft Forms that contains questions about Business Lead (We use this form in events to show our products to get new customers).What do I do today? I get all answers of this form and fill the “Business Lead” screen on IFS manually, one by one.I would like to automate this. After answer all questions of the form on Microsoft Forms and click on “Send”, all these answers fill the “Business Lead” screen on IFS automatically. Is this possible? Thanks!
We are looking to implement a solid core to rebuild process in our company. These would be core units from the field that need to brought into inventory at zero dollars, shipped out to a supplier to be rebuilt, and then brought back in the system with the new cost of rebuilding the unit. We want the option of NOT serializing these parts, but we want to try and keep the process as standard as possible. Is there a standard way that IFS provides for this process that will work for serialized and non-serialized parts?
