Hello everyone,I’m trying to update the QtyToIssue value of a line with the QtyRemToIssue value from the header.I’ve created a BPA (Business Process Automation) that retrieves this value by calling the attached function.However, when I run it, I get the following error message:class java.lang.Integer cannot be cast to class java.math.BigDecimal (java.lang.Integer and java.math.BigDecimal are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')It seems there’s a type mismatch when the value is passed between the BPA and the function — probably because the field or variable is defined as Integer instead of BigDecimal. Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to properly handle this conversion (e.g., using an expression or a to_number() / BigDecimal.valueOf() call in the function)?Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello all Is it possible within IFS to create a new assistant from a screen, such as Task Material. We have a case where our technicians may need to reserve stock. I’ve asked the question before, and the response was that you cannot reserve stock from the Task Material screen, however… the question here is… can we create a new assistant that would do it?ThanksJames
Within the APB for a selected Shop Order we can see a list of the potential statuses and of which are applicable to it.However there is no way that we’ve been able to find that provides clear definitions of what each of these statuses actually means. If we use the Help button on this tab, it brings up the window below and if in the Usage section we click on the Show Status URL it provides no meaningful information. We can explain most of these statuses ourselves, but when our client asks specifically about what the INCOMPLETE status means we’re struggling to differentiate that with RELEASED or (especially) PARTIALLY REPORTED Can anyone point us to where we can find an official IFS document that explains exactly each of these Scheduling Status values represents
Hello,I’m wondering if there is a database task that I can schedule to remove External File Load IDs and/or External Voucher Load Information?I’ve looked in the Database Task page for a job that would accomplish this but have not found anything yet. On the External Voucher Load Information screen, you have to confirm for each removal of a load. Attached is a screenshot.Any help is greatly appreciated!Thanks, Kyle
I’m new to IFS and currently exploring the Excel Plugin in V8 and the Excel Add-in in IFS Cloud.I successfully created an Excel migration job for the COUNTING_REPORT view (Count Report Transaction), exported the data, made necessary changes, validated and executed the job using the Excel Add-in. The changes were reflected in IFS as expected.However, when I followed the same process for the COUNTING_REPORT_LINE_EXTENDED view (Count Per Count Report Transaction), the changes did not reflect in IFS after execution.Could you please advise if there are any specific steps or configurations required for the physical inventory process when using the Excel Add-in with this view? Is there a limitation or approval workflow that I should be aware of?Thank you for your support.Best regards,Gowtham
Hello, I have a question about a think thing in the inventory part available planning. When we have adjusted order quantities, we have made changes in the lot size. But what happens in IFS when placing an order if there are also values entered in Min lot size, Max lot size, Multiple lot size, and Std lot size? Do any of these fields have a controlling effect?
have noticed that occasionally the line description from a mixed payment is added to a SUPOA or CUPOA as a note, however this doesn’t seem to always be the case.I can’t work out how it is added to determine why it doesn't happen insome instances, can anyone shed some light on this?
Hello,How to set up auto-incrementation for a field in a custom entity? I didn’t see any option available in the interface.I saw that it’s possible to use a number counter, but I’m not sure how to link it to a field of my entity through the interface. Thank you in advance for your help.
When icons are being specified for individual activities in PSO, this must be done by linking the activity to the id of Activity to an Icon entity id e.g. <Activity> <id>A1</id> <activity_class_id>CALL</activity_class_id> <activity_type_id>Normal</activity_type_id> <location_id>A1</location_id> <do_on_site>false</do_on_site> <duration>PT30M</duration> <customer>None</customer> <icon_id>Appointment</icon_id> </Activity>The Icon entities themselves must either be created in the ARP are specified in the input data. For DEFAULT icons (i.e. inbuilt icons) there is a limited set of paths that can be used. If the customer is specifying the icon data in the load file directly there is currently no documented list of paths:<Icon><id>Sub-contractor</id><icon_type_id>DEFAULT</icon_type_id> <path>people-alt</path></Icon
Hi! We’ve just started experimenting with Document Macros in IFS Cloud and see a great benefit of generating the view file when checking in the original document.But a colleague mentioned that Microsoft will deprecate the vbscript feature going forward, how will this impact document macros in IFS? The question was previously posted in the Foundation sub-forum, but I think it might be better suited here in the Document Management forum. BRGeorge
Some customers will assess fines for a late shipment and will short pay the invoice. What is the best was in IFS to balance out that invoice and correctly record the fine for tracking and GL?
Hello.The issue is with an old Mixed Payment from January 2025. Mixed Payment currency rate was set manually as 0,2465 EUR/PLN, instead of 4,2465(!). In result all transactions were calculated incorrectly and in the next MP a huge exchange profit amount appeared. More MP were created in the following months as somehow such a big amount stayed unnoticed until September… And here we are. In October, 2025 with one MP in August having unmatched transactions with parked payments created and we are unable to reverse all the MP to correct/cancel the one from January. As far as I know there is no standard way to fix it, so any suggestion will be precious for us since somehow we need to deal with this issue and correct the amounts in GL Balance. Thx.K.
Hello All,Thank you all in advance!I am trying to add Approval routing to the Assignments tab (JtExecutionInstance) in a Request Work Task. I have successfully done this on the Request Work Task (JtTask) however the approvals will not show on the assignments. I have refreshed the cache multiple times and still does not work. Is there a separate configuration I am missing? The MediaLibrary, Eventlog etc do not show either. I don’t need those but they are part of the Default Definition which makes me think I missed something.
Hello everyone,do we have a localization list available to understand which countries are already supported?
Hi, In our receipt process, we want to attach the delivery note to each receipt line.This is the current proces: We select all applicable lines in register arrivals. These lines are always from the same PO and are all on the same delivery note from the supplier. We register the arrival. Then we go to the receipt screen, and attach the delivery note to each receipt line (each different part has of course the another line)You can imagine that if there are 30 parts on the delivery note, we have to do this process of attaching the same delivery note 30 times, once for each line. Is there a way we can do this at once, or get the delivery note copied to other receipt line?For example, go to the receipt screen, select all applicable lines, RMB and attach the same document to all lines. Thanks for the help!
What are the recommended HW requirements for APB?When loading about 200 operations into APB, APB is fast, planning is usable.When loading about 2000 operations, APB is basically unusable. Loading is incredibly long, APB often "hangs" during work, often displays "not responding".APB works locally, so the performance of the server where IFS Cloud runs will probably not be possible to adjust.Tested on 25r1 environmentThanks for any response
Hi, I have a problem in IFS 9, one user gets an error when creating a subscription:Ifs.Fnd.FndSystemException: Error in WndProc ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an objectw Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.Extenders.SubscriptionManager.Dialogs.ManageCustomSubscriptionDialog.GetHeaderText(String luName, Dictionary`2 primaryKeys)w Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.Extenders.SubscriptionManager.Dialogs.ManageCustomSubscriptionDialog.ManageCustomSubscriptionDialog_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)w System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e)w System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e)w Ifs.Fnd.Windows.Forms.FndForm.OnLoad(EventArgs e)w System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnCreateControl()w System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible)w System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl()w System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m)w System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)w System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message&
Version: IFS Cloud 23R2 Employee is having valid schedule. Absence Type MDL001 is configured as ‘Calendar Days’When applying this leave for half day (with either First half or Second half), it is doing wrong calculation.It is calculating Absence Duration as 0.17 Calendar Days, however it should be 0.5 days. Employee schedule is 8 hours; however system is doing calculation based on 4 hours/ 24 hours = 0.1666 days. There is another absence ‘Annual Vacation’ which is configured as ‘Working Days’, for that system is calculating half day leave correctly.The issue is happening when Absence is configured based on ‘Calendar Days’.Anyone has any idea about this issue? Please provide resolution, if you are aware.ThanksVikas Jain
Hi,What is the difference between “copy customer order line” and “duplicate customer order line” within one customer order? I tried both options and when I copy the line, default info is checked as YES and I have default delivery address. But when I duplicate the line “default info” isn’t checked. But when I copy the line which has “single occurence” checked as YES, than a new line has “default info” which means delivery address is the default one but not the same as in the line from which it was copied. I am trying to find the best solution when it customes to copying the lines with the same delivery address.Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Is there anybody out there that use Rental Management in IFS according to the international accounting standard IFRS 16, and could share some experiences with us?
Hello,I installed Developer Studio 18. I would like to create my own API for a custom button on the IFS interface. When I create a new project, it offers 4 options:- IFS R&D Core Project- IFS R&D Exception Project- IFS Local Exception Project- IFS Customization ProjectWhich one should I choose? In the IFS documentation, there is a section where it says to always choose: IFS R&D Exception Project because it remains even after updating the core system, but in another documentation it says the IFS Customization Project option.If I choose IFS R&D Exception Project, I can choose Release: 10, which according to IFS refers to APP10. In the case of IFS Customization Project, I was able to choose the 25R1 system, which we also have.How can I create a new package written by myself in this? and deploy it to the cloud development system that runs on Preim with us?Is there any IFS documentation about the latest program/settings/usage of Developer Studio 18?Thank you,Csaba
We are in the process of adding country of origin data against the supplier for purchase part records however some of our suppliers, typically distributors, could supply the same part from multiple origins which they wouldn’t know until the point of dispatch. If we were to populate the SFPP record with the most likely country of origin, is there any scope in IFS to be able to register the country of origin at goods receipt, should it differ to what has been listed on the SFPP record?
When performing a receipt of an order based item use the Receive with Serial/Lot no button, we were used that the Order Nr would be filled in by default in Lot Batch No field But this field is no longer filled since we updated IFS to IFS version 24.2.7. Is this a functional change in this version of IFS, or could it be a setting is changed somewhere in IFS
