Hi.We’re successfully created a custom note field on the Standard Operation page, with it being brought to other pages via expression/reference custom attributes as well. The field is called Cc Operation DefinitionWe’ve noticed the field only accounts for the data put into it when we use the “Reference” option with “Add Standard Operation” on the pages though, using “Copy” leaves the note field blank. In Shop Order, the assistant doesn’t give you the option to select between Copy or Reference, and the custom field appears blank: On the Routing page however, where the Add Standard Operation allows you to choose between Copy or Reference, choosing Reference populates the custom field with the data thats been added to it: How should we go about making the field populate via the copy option and in other windows as well where the option between the two isn’t offered? Thank you in advance!

Hi experts,We’re facing a strange issue with a custom report layout in IFS Cloud (created using IFS Report Designer). The report is designed for portrait orientation with fixed width and height. When we preview the report in IFS and then print from the preview screen, it comes out perfectly in portrait as expected. But when we print the report directly (without preview), it is always printed in landscape. We are using an Epson LQ-310 printer.So far we have: Verified that the report’s page size (width < height) is correctly set in Report Designer. Checked and changed the printer settings  Has anyone else experienced this mismatch between direct print vs preview print orientation? I saw several posts regarding the same issue.Is there a recommended fix either in the layout properties or in the print agent configuration , to force IFS to always print in portrait mode?Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Why do Barcodes and Fonts shrink using Crystal Reports in IFS APPS10? Is there a fix for this issue?Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? We are on APPS10 using Crystal reports to create parts labels. When we view in Crystal the barcode is fine but when we print through IFS the barcode/fonts shrinks. The samples show the differences. Thank you,  

I am new to cloud.  We are on 24r2 and need to know if there is a way to save the sort criteria on the screen shot.    

We have authorization rules setup at PR level but when an RFQ is created from the PR, we lose any authorization capability. Regardless of the value agreed, you are then able to generate a PO without authorization. Only the approval step is required but this isn't based on value.In this flow, does the auth have to take place at PO level rather than PR level? Unless theres a setting Im missing, would a CRIM be the solution here?

Hi,  Wondering if anyone has experience of a similar requirement of being able to quote for a Service using PACKAGE Parts? I need the Quotation creator to not have to enter the Package Components individually.  Processes I’ve tried so far:Service Quotation to Request. Downfall of this is that the Service Quotation does not support Package Parts. Meaning that the users would have to manually enter each package component to quote for a job which isn’t the ideal. Sales Quotation with a Package Part Line then create Customer Order. Then Customer Order create Request (from CO Header). Information pulls in from the Customer Order to the Request and Scope etc. HOWEVER, my the Customer Order Lines (containing the package parts) do not appear in my Materials tab on the Request Work Task.  Any insights or advice would be appreciated! Thanks

I havce a business rule that fires off TASK_EVENT notifications, however one rule picks up a value from REQUEST (REQ_TYPE). The rule will not match the value in REQ_TYPE, even though it is the correct value and i have confirmed this in the Audit Table.  I suspect it is a join issue between the two tables. I have it set up as below, is this correct? are there any other things i should check?

We have a barcode report that generate a report approx. 1800 pages with 3 barcodes on it. The result xml is around 16kb. When this report is printed to a logical printer the issues starts. The IFSAPP-REPORTING-REN prods starts crash-looping with OOMKILLED. The pod doesn't managed to update the status for the print jobs so it start all over again when it starts up ending up in a never ending loop of crashing the report rendering pod We have increased the memory for the pod from the default value 2GB to 6GB and we got the print out true, the pods used almost 5.8GB of memory to get i true.My question in IFS Appliction 8, 9 or 10 we had the system parameter to control the memory usage and utilize disk for the rendering process based on the xml result size Breakpoint XML size for when to format Report Designer reports in memory or using disk storage (kB)   Reporting This parameter controls the Disc Cache. With it, you can make sure that small reports are handled in memor

Hi I am in a situation where I want to perform Inter company consignment movements. Hope an expert can help with this query.One company (Site A) receives consignments from another internal company (Site B). Site A wants to recognize this as Supplier consignment stocks and Site B wants to identify this as a customer consignment stocks.I set up the following data.Demand Site (A) - Supplier for Purchase Part for Site B - Ownership “Consignment”Supply Site (B) - Part is registed as customer consignment stock for the internal customer site A.  When I try the Inter company POCO flow. Internal customer order is not getting created and it gives this error message.Error on Message Line 2. Error Message: ORA-20110: CustomerOrderLine.NOCONSIGNFORSINGLEOCCADDR: Consignment Stock cannot be used when the Customer Order Line has a Single Occurance address.  ButThis works if I am using the Distribution order functionality but I can only use 1 part at a time.Is the “Distribution Order” is the only way

Hi,  We’re currently using 24R2. I have the requirement of being able to adjust and track updating the Sales Contract Line Item Quantity as Planned Demand differs from Actual Demand. As an example, Part A is an Item on Line 1 of my Sales Contract with a required Quantity of 100 currently. However, the demand for Part is actually 50 and we need to create a new Sales Contract Revision to reflect the changes. Currently, we create a new Item Line with Part A with a Quantity = -50 to reflect this change, however, we can’t accept negative quantity lines going forward, as connected Business Opportunities cannot have negative quantity lines. With this in mind, I’ve been exploring the usage of Contract Change Orders in a test environment, which seem great for being able to Add New Line Items to my Sales Contract and have them be tracked/approved etc. However, I can’t seem to be able to just edit/reduce the Quantity of Part A on Line 1 of my Sales Contract from 100 to 50 and track this change. I

Hi all,I ran MRP and for part Q-ALML-MDL the system created a Shop Order demand / MRP Make (Planning).How can I convert this demand into an actual Shop Order?Path I’m using:Supply Chain Planning → Material Requirements Planning → MRP Action Proposals WorkbenchI can see the relevant proposal, but I don’t know how to turn it into an SO. The RMB → “Action for Order…” option is visible but disabled. What’s the correct place/step to create the Shop Order from this proposal? Which prerequisites enable “Action for Order” (e.g., Supply Code=Make, routing, firming rules, permissions, time fences)?  Environment: IFS Apps 8Thanks!

Issue Summary:The mass update assistant for the "Generate Schedule" function in Recurring Service Programs seems to be absent in version 25R2 and earlier. We miss the functionality to be able to automate this process using a scheduled task. Notably, the "Generate Request" function is available as an assistant in 25R2, and its underlying procedure can be leveraged for scheduled task execution.Impact:This functionality is critical for efficiently managing large volumes of Recurring Service Programs. In its absence, users are required to manually trigger "Generate Schedule" for each program—particularly when extending the PM_HORIZON or updating calendars—which leads to considerable inefficiency. Question:Is the "Generate Schedule" mass update assistant planned for inclusion in future releases?

Why is it not possible to quickly sort the Register Arrivals screen in IFS Cloud by Promised Receipt Date, i.e. oldest first? Is there a way for functional users to do this easily, and if not, what could possibly be the reason for this? In other screens it is easy to sort by date, but seems to have been removed from Register Arrivals? 

In the 24R2 documentation:The Update Processed Transactions section in the ‘About MCA’ page reads:“All inventory parts, no matter of inventory valuation method, will have their labor and operation transactions costs adjusted from this command.”The Update Processed Transactions activity in 5.5.9.1 Manufacturing Cost Allocation reads:“The transactions of only inventory parts that are having Weighted Average setting in the inventory valuation method of the Inventory Part page will be updated from this update processed transactions command.”EDIT: I figured out what the documentation was stating.

How are users handling tariffs in IFS, both from an internal cost and external pricing standpoint?  For pricing, can prices be adjusted by Country of Origin?  (If so, how do we get the Country of Origin field to populate in Sales Part screen?For cost, is “landed cost” the best way to track it?Thanks all.  

Hello,(We are on 23R1.6 in our environments.) We have a quick report that pulls invoice data, we can export this data from the quick report page, completely fine. We encounter no issues and the excel formatting is perfect. The issue we are encountering though, is when scheduling this report via scheduled reports, and having it emailed to our users, we notice that the method used to export the data onto an excel sheet adds an extra space and a new line character before the field values for all columns/rows. We cannot fix this on our end since these characters are added after the data is pulled from the quick report. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks,Bryan
