Q&A Discussion of IFS Solutions for our IFS Employees, Partners and Customers
Recently active
In times when I worked for IFS myself (now I am with a customer) there used to be a Master Data spreadsheet that helped as a template to start digging into what master data have to be looked at in each functional area and also to assign responsibilities in the organisation. Is there still something out there?

As part of our upgrade to IFS Cloud, we are considering replacing our external field solution with the Maintenance Technician Portal.Selecting the correct functional object by scanning a barcode or QR code with an iPhone or iPad is critical. With more than 2,000 users, the solution must be simple and reliable.Has anyone found a good solution for this?
Good afternoon everybody, does somebody have a detailed description how field “Cost” on Customer Order Line is fetched based on indicator on page “Pricing Contribution Margin Control”. I receive some zero-values even though Part Cost values in the requested Cost Set is available. Is there more data required, e.g. “Inventory Part Unit Cost Details” or something else?Thank you for your support. Best regards, Rolf
We’re having an issue where the Shop Order and DOP-order time schedule won't align and I’m suspecting that the DOP-order is connect to the calendar defined in the project, rather than the Work Centers defined on each operation in the DOP-order. Could someone please confirm this and if it’s possible to manually connect a DOP-order to a different calendar than the one chosen in the project?
Hi,I'm looking for some clarification regarding the "First Page" and "Last Page" features that were available in IFS Report Designer.In Report Designer, it was possible to configure certain controls to appear only on the first page or only on the last page of a report, without relying solely on report bands. This was particularly useful for scenarios such as:Displaying a cover page or introductory information only on the first page. Displaying approval sections, signatures, declarations, or terms & conditions only on the last page.I understand there are alternative approaches in IFS Report Studio, for example:Using the Report Header and Report Footer bands where appropriate. Using Report Rules to append an additional PDF (e.g., Terms & Conditions) after report generation.However, my question is specifically about IFS Report Studio itself:Is there a built-in equivalent to the "First Page" and "Last Page" features available in Report Designer? Can controls or sections be configur
Hi there. I’m new to this, and I’m trying to add a new page in the supplier record to the circled section below - I’ve read that it’s called a tree navigator. Basically I want to take the Quality section from the Purchase page, inactivate it there, and create a new page for that section so that I can have one set of users with access to the Purchase page, and another set of users for the Quality page (I know I could just add a tab to an existing page, but it’s likely that the quality info that they want to track will expand and require a bunch of custom fields and multiple tabs, so I’d rather just have a new page for it). I mimicked the setup of the Purchase page to a new page in Page Designer. I can see it if I select the new page under Active Page: But it’s not showing in the tree navigator section. I saved the changes and published them, cleared the cache, refreshed the browser, but still I can’t see it on the list of pages. Since it’s the same projection/entity as the the P
A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationOpportunity for improvement2) Brief descriptionIn Customer Consignment Stock scenarios, IFS currently uses the original shipment date when generating collective customer invoices. However, customers may record a Customer Consumption Date that represents the actual transfer of ownership and taxable event. This consumption date is available within the consignment process but is not reflected on the customer invoice or used as the invoice delivery/tax date. This creates challenges for customers who require the actual consumption date to be reported on invoices and electronic tax submissions, particularly in countries where tax regulations are based on the date of consumption rather than the date of shipment.Requested Enhancement:Add support for using the Customer Consumption Date as the delivery/tax date on customer invoices generated from consignment stock consumption. Make the consumption date available for invoice data, invoice reports, and electro
Hi,Reposting to seek some HCM expert help 🙂We are trying to generate an employee payment file (to pay for employee expenses) using ISO20022. There are few mandatory information that we need to bring into this file as follows;Employee Tax ID Clearing system member ID Branch IDThese refer to employee specific details. I have tried to use ‘Property Fields’ and define these information. However, there is no way to connect those new property fields to ‘Employee payment method’ window. Does anyone know how we can define new property fields and bring those details into the ISO20022 XML file? OR Is there any alternative method to use to bring in such additional information to ISO20022 XML file?Thank YouSugandi
Hi all,When I run One level cost I got error but All level cost not. After run All level cost then One level cost works. Here is some details. It seems a bug.Title: One Level Part Cost Calculation fails with ORA-01858 on manufactured multi-level parts (column order mismatch in Insert_Roll_Up_Cost_One_Lvl___)Environment: IFS Cloud 25.2.4 SU4 (site BPM20, cost set 8)Symptom:Calling the CalculateOneLevel action (PartCostHandling projection) — or One LevelPart Cost Calculation in Aurena/IFSAPP — fails for manufactured parts whosecomponent is itself a rolled-up manufactured sub-assembly.

I ran the Calculate Purchase Lead Time function in IFS without updating. In reviewing the report, it returned a lead time of every part as 1. Any ideas what I am missing in setup to calculate this properly?
When using the CRM panel in New Outlook with IFS 25R1, there is a choice between setting up a Customer or a Prospect.But within the Template options, even though we have a template customer setup for a customer and a separate one for a Prospect, the only option is the CUSTOMER SETUP TEMPLATE. If I toggle off the Template Customer on the customer account, it is no longer an option to select in the CRM PanelBut having the toggle on for the Prospect account has no effect either way and will never show up in the CRM panel as an option. Why is this and where is the actual setting to show up as a Template selection in the CRM Panel?
Hello,We have a customer service survey that leverages images and specific links using substitution variables. The links are embedded in the images within the rich text editor and properly show when the actual email is sent.We have a need to hide this customer service survey for specific offering products. Is it possible to do an if/else statement based on ITEM_PRODUCT_CLASS_SC where if it equals “IT Services” OR another product class, to show this survey section?and if so, where would we make this change? within this action template or is there another location where we’d have to create it?Thanks!
Hi. In creating a distribution order the currency defaults to EUR, but should be USD. The supplier for the purchase is set up as USD. The companies and suppliers are set up as USD. Where else should it be changed from EUR to USD to default correctly in Distribution Order?
Hi all,I'm trying to connect IFS to an external REST API using IFS Connect REST Sender with OAuth2 Client Credentials authentication.

Community, there are “Cost Center ID” field in both Manufacturing Labor Class and Work Center window. See screenshot for both windows.My question is, if I had Cost Center ID entered in both below 2 windows, will this value be travelling to GL in the end? in other words, will it be showing up in the GL code string (Cost Centr)?
Hi,I suspect the issue may be related to the view/query I am using. I created a new Lobby Datasource, saved it successfully, and was able to preview output. However, when I try to add it to an element/dashboard, the datasource does not exist.When I go back and check, the datasource is completely gone. The SQL counter also returns to its previous value (it increases when I create it, then drops back after it disappears).I also checked permissions, and the datasource does not appear under Lobby Datasources there either. Additionally, if I try to export the newly created Lobby Datasource after saving it, I receive the attached error.Has anyone seen this behavior before, or is there a known limitation related to the type of view/query being used?
Hello everybody,in the "EntitySet Name" field, I can enter the name "PersonInfoSet" from the page info.But what do EntitySets mean when they start with Reference_, such as "Reference_CommMethod"?What are the differences?Thank you.
Is there a capability in IFS Cloud to announce a system wide message to all users via IFS Aurena page. We had a similar function in Apps10.
Hello, Does IFS Cloud (25R1) have the ability to capture details for supplier payment creation such as:Beneficiary Bank city and country? When creating the payment output file, some banks require this. The SWIFT/BIC Code is available in the EFT Payment Addresses but that’s about it. Some countries/currencies also require a reporting code. Where is that captured. For international payments, quite often intermediary banks can be part of the payment process. Where/how is the intermediary bank information captured so it can be pulled through to the payment output file. Thank you!!
I am looking for a demo or specific information on IFS Cloud QM capabilities. I have a plant that is looking into an All-in-one QMS Platform by Octave formerly ETQ software (we have yet to implement IFS Cloud - go-live is 2028) and I am trying to avoid getting yet another application in here and having to integrate it into IFS. So I want to share the IFS Cloud capabilities with them. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I was trying to print the 'Customer Statement of Account' report from IFS Cloud 24R2, and when I clicked the Finish button, I received the error: 'The Archive Variable already exists.' I also checked the routing rule but couldn't find any issues. The error occurs even when the routing rule is not used. Could you please let me know how to resolve this issue?
Hi Everyone,We have a requirement around Subcontract Management in IFS Cloud and wanted to check if anyone in the community has implemented a similar modification or solution design.Requirement OverviewDuring the subcontract creation/administration lifecycle, a Subcontract record can contain: Multiple Document Attachments stored in IFS Document Management (DocMan). One or more SharePoint file URLs linked as external document links/URLs. When the user triggers a "Generate Subcontract Package" action (or similar command), the system needs to: Retrieve all physical attached documents (DocMan attachments) associated with the Subcontract. Retrieve/download all external files hosted at the linked SharePoint URLs. Convert/Merge all retrieved documents (including cover pages/report outputs) into a single, consolidated PDF file. Attach the generated merged PDF back to the Subcontract's DocMan repository automatically. Questions for the Community: Has anyone implemented a similar automat
I’m not sure what’s going on but I have the projections for my migration job granted to the permission set that I need them granted to as well as permission for FND_ADMIN, and FNDMIG_EXCEL_ADDIN and I’m still getting this error in my production environment. I have less permissions granted in my test environment and it’s loading with no issue. I even imported the permission sets from my test environment to prod and it’s still giving me the error. Any help is appreciated.
Hi IFS Community!Upon running the Excel-Add In for Data Migrations on IFS Cloud for a specific job in Production, we get "Unexpected end of JSON file" with no further information as to why this is happening.We migrated the same data to a different environment last week (CFG) with NO errors whatsoever, so we know that the data we are migrating is not the issue.We checked permissions for the user running the migration and it all looks fine as well. Any ideas what could be causing it?
