Hi, Is it possible to enter time recording per day instead of hours ? For example, I report 0.5 day or 0.25 day.It is to do project time reporting and avoid confusions with working hours ? Thanks and Regards,Anne-Sophie
The Person id was incorrectly provided while creating the Employee file.Is it possible to make changes to the created person record( change the person id) or do we need to terminate the employee and start over again?
Hi all,We currently have two different companies using Business Opportunities and CRM in IFS Apps 10.Is it possible to restrict Business Opportunities so that users only see records associated with their own company or site — while allowing managers or admin users access to all companies/sites?We’ve seen this kind of access control seems possible in IFS Cloud, but we haven’t been able to replicate it in Apps 10.Example:Joe Bloggs is assigned to TestCompany1. When he opens Business Opportunities, he should only see TestCompany1’s opportunities — not any from TestCompany2. However, a manager or admin should be able to see both.Is this kind of filtering possible in Apps 10? If so, how can we set it up?Thanks in advance!

As part of a redesign of one warehouse we are looking for a way to have a single Kanban pull result in a two-step material move that can be handled by WADACO.The situation is that production cells trigger the kanban, pulling material from the warehouse. However for the new warehouse design the material must be picked from the warehouse locations and put into a single staging location, and then a separate move needs to be done from the staging location to the production cell.Is there a way to handle this natively inside IFS, accurately reflecting the true material locations and without any of the warehouse team waiting on material that is not yet in staging? We use Transport Tasks today so that’s where we’ve been focusing to try to solve but maybe there is a different approach?If there’s no standard way to achieve this in IFS, the best thought I have at this time is as follows but it seems like overkill:Use an event to kill any Transport Task that gets created to pull from the new war
I have linked a document file within the Work List of a Work Task Template and created a work task from it. I am encountering an issue where media files are not being transferred to the MWO work task and the document file is not transferring to IFS MWO Could you kindly confirm if there are any specific conditions or parameters that need to be set up to ensure that media files are successfully transferred to the MWO work task?
When navigating to the Export License Connection window and selecting the Search option, the following server error occurs:“ExportLicenseConnections/LicenseConnectionsPage (server error) – Error while serializing contents.”During further investigation, it was identified that the issue is caused by the ‘Export License ID’ field. An attempt was made to modify the field length using the Page Designer; however, the same server error reoccurs when clicking on Search.Below is the server error information.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ExportLicenseConnections/LicenseConnectionsPage (server error)Error while serializing contents.This error happens when the server cannot serialize the data to be sent to the client.A common cause is that one attribute's length exceeds the defined maxlength in the projection.To find more info, open Log Window or Debug Console
Hello all; In one of my recent upgrade projects involving an 8TB Oracle database, I observed that the import operation is taking approximately 62 hours to complete. Within this, importing INDEXES alone consumes around 21 hours, and importing CONSTRAINTS takes about 24 hours. I am looking for best practices, tips, or any suggestions to help reduce the overall import time, especially for these long-running segments. If anyone has experience with speeding up large database imports or optimizing the import of indexes and constraints, your insights will be highly appreciated. Currently, the import is a major bottleneck in the upgrade timeline, and any guidance on parallelism settings, pre/post-import tuning, or other techniques would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!Note:Here I've used PARALLEL=30 as well [ 32 CPU Database server ] INDEXES CONSTRAINTS BR!/Dilshan
I have seen the feature in the site level for maintenance in Move Functional Object to ignore object level validation. I admit it does scare me a little but would like to learn more from people that might be using this feature. Like a pros and cons on when to use it vs. not use it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hello IFS Community, we have been considering and testign IFS on Chromium, so far it has been working fine with no issues, but i would like to get your experiences, if anoybody out there has been using it. what struggles did you have ( if any )
The intention is to change the Task Card Description, Subtask Description, and Maintenance Code Description lengths from the standard 60 characters to 200 characters across all pages where these fields are used.For instance, on the Subtasks page, the MaxLength value for the Subtask Description column in the Subtasks List element was modified from 60 to 200 in the Page Designer. However, during testing, the Subtask Description field still remains limited to 60 characters. Kindly advise why this change is not being applied as expected.

Hello, we have two ways of doing business. end customer - everything clear here internal customer - we have given strict lead times including the prices in between the companies. How or where to set up the LT on the “internal customer” and “the manufacturer” in a way that so it “takes” the value from the “manufacturer” side into the “customer” side and that same delivery time is pulled onto the purchase order automatically as the wanted date? Thank you,Best Regards Petra
Is there any way to book lease interest and depreciation expenses directly to a project? I can link the project to the lease interest expense and fixed asset accounts through posting control (pre-posting); however, there is no field available to specify the activity sequence number. Both accounts are connected with the Cost/Revenue Element.
When creating a bookmark for the Maintenance > Equipment > Tools and Equipment page in IFS Cloud 24R1 environment, it opens the Service > Equipment > Tools and Equipment page instead. Steps to reproduce:Navigate to Tools and Equipment via Maintenance > Equipment > Tools and Equipment. Add a bookmark on the Tools and Equipment page. Navigate to another page or log out and log back in. Select the saved bookmark.Can this be identified as a defect?If not, can the service entry be removed from the Navigation designer?
Hi,I’m running into an issue and haven’t been able to find a solution.Our inventory is set to Reserve and Backflush. When we issue a shop order, the system correctly reserves the available on-hand quantity and creates a shortage entry in the Shop Order Materials with Shortage table.Example:We require 20 units, but only 10 are on-hand. The system reserves the 10 units and we proceed with manufacturing. A shortage of 10 units is recorded.Later, 8 additional units arrive from the supplier and are made available in the warehouse. We manually reserve these 8 units, pick them, and send them to the shop. However, the remaining 2 units are not flagged as a shortage. The system shows no further shortages, and the final 2 units are not captured.Are we missing a step in the process that would allow the system to recognize and track the remaining 2 units as a shortage?Thanks in advance for your help.
Quick question which may have an obvious answer ... In Apps9 if I wanted to query for Part number does not begin with FT7 .. this is how I would achieve it What’s the equivalent in Cloud? I don’t seem to have any ‘not start with’ options. Am I right in assuming it would be !FT72 and that that option is missing from the help list here? Thanks!Linda
