Environment: IFS APP10 / IEEDetails:Test Plan1. Navigate to Projects by following this path: [Financials > Project Accounting > Projects > Projects].2. Select project 200247.3. Select the line, right-click, and then click on "Project." The project window will open.4. Right-click in the header and select "Project Completion."5. Click "Yes" to open a new window.6. In the new window, manually enter the completion percentage as 100, then click "OK." Error Description:An error message saying “Debit amount must have a value when currency debit amount is entered” prevents closing the related projects.[Which means the error occurs because the system requires a value in the "Debit amount" field whenever a "Currency debit amount" is entered. To resolve this issue, ensure that the "Debit amount" field is populated with a valid value when completing the project.]Why does this error occur and how can it be resolved?
Does anyone have a recommended method of doing mass deployments for IFS Cloud’s Time Clock web app shared by IFS? I have some ideas on how to achieve this but wanted to see if there was a better approach aside from copying the files/folders and pushing them that are created with this app after you start it. The step I want to automate is the bold section below, I took this straight from IFS Help. This setting gets reset if you clear your Google Chrome cache/history regardless of how you deploy it. Launch IFS Time ClockNavigate to the Add-ons page of the IFS Cloud (e.g. <IFS Cloud System URL>/timclo/landing-page/add-on.html ). Click on Launch IFS Time Clock. Enter the newly created Client ID and generated Secret from IAM Client Creation step.
Hello.I need a little help about how to set up work centers in IFS, if there is 3 or more persons per one assembly step/area.For example:Step 1 - 3 operators are doing 3 separate assemblies in the same area. After that, all assemblies move simultaneously to the next step. Lets say this is Work Center AStep 2 - 4 or 5 operators are taking previously prepared assemblies and work on them simultaneously also (now its 2 persons for 1 assembly). Lets say this is Work Center BStep 3 - I got 2-3 operators and 12 spots for testing the assemblies. Machine run time is 230 minutes: operators are doing about 40 min per assembly before machine’s independent run time - 180min (meanwhile they can start with other assembly) - and after that, 15 minutes for finishing. Lets say this is Work Center C For planning, which way is it showing correct result in shop order scheduling?Should I add separate resource under each work center (3 for A, 4-5 for B, 12 for C or 2-3?)or should I put resource efficiency
Hi.We have a custom field called Remaining Hours in Activity Resource Planning that calculates Planned Hours - Reported Hours into a new field. The query works fine for the most part, but we’ve noticed an issue with the field though, where if there are multiple reports under the same Resource Group, but with different Report Codes (e.g WORK & TRAVEL), one of the rows will not calculate properly.Resource Group 11117 with 2 different report codes, not calculating remaining hours properly for the 2nd row.The query itself is as follows:SELECT (CASE WHEN Qty_Planned IS NOT NULL AND Qty_Used IS NOT NULL THEN (QTY_PLANNED - QTY_USED) ELSE Qty_Planned END)From ACTIVITY_RESOURCE_PROJWHERE RESOURCE_ID=:RESOURCE_ID AND ACTIVITY_SEQ=:ACTIVITY_SEQ Any help with a solution to this issue would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!
HiIFS Apps10 blocks change Document Address on Customer Order, if current and new address contains Tax ID Number, even though they’re the same. But it allows for workaround, if there is already assigned Tax ID, if you pick an address which does not have any Tax ID set, and then you can change to some other (with Tax ID as well).IFS Cloud seems to be even less restrictive, as it allows for changing the address regardless of Tax ID.Our concern is that it will cause inconsistency, when invoice is sent to government e-invoicing platform (specifically KSeF in Poland), since the invoice can be changed after it was registered. To my understanding, the best would be to take Tax ID from Invoice Address and store on invoice header, as it could not be changed once invoice is posted. Right now customer name on the invoice (printout or E-invoice) is taken from invoice addresses, but Tax ID is taken from customer order (BuyerOrganisationTaxCode comes from Customer Order->Tax ID (under Invoice Inf

Has there ever been a requirement to visualize IFS Cloud on a kiosk/totem, where an external technician can sign a document related to a Work Order without being logged into the system? The scenario would be one where an external contractor and an internal technician both need to sign a PDF representing a Permit to Work.

One of our new clients implementing IFS Cloud requires authorization at the Purchase Requisition level and authorizers’ limits are defined for the total amount of PR and should not be for each PR line. I understand the IFS design for PR Rules is that to be applied at line level as PR lines may be for different suppliers as opposed to the PO. The reason why they cannot use PO authorizations instead is because one of their authorization criteria is pre-postings (cost centers) and IFS only has that in PR and not PO authorization rules. I could see that this requirement has been discussed before in PR Authorization based on total amount of PR? | IFS Community article 3 years ago, where in the response from @HoiAnushB , it’s mentioned “the reported issue is qualified as the enhancement request for the future development.”. I do not see this being catered to in developments so far and was wondering if this has been added as an enhancement request or if not, the reasons/decisions behind it.
Hi all, Quick question regarding changes to the base salary. In previous IFS versions (Apps 9 for example) it was possible to change the base salary using an amount or a percentage. In Cloud the percentage option is no longer available on the compensation page. It is only available for compensation types other than the base salary and is then calculated off the base salary.The only other option to increase the base salary using a percentage is by using the Salary Planning Review functionality. Some of my customers do not want to use this though (for various reasons).How is everyone handling this now? Are you using the new functionality or are you customising this?
I am trying to run a migration job to the customer credit limit table. I am using the excel add-in tool. We have to update some customer credit limits in bulk. The problem is the job keeps telling me that I am trying to update the PARTY_TYPE and that I’m not allowed to. I do not care to modify the party type, as it should remain Customer. I have tried to modify the migration job by eliminating the source code (column) for Party_Type and/or Party_TypeDB, and set up defaults as “CUSTOMER’ and ‘Customer’ and all possible combinations of such. No matter what, the system is convinced I am trying to “update” the party type, when all I want to do is update credit limits. Any advice or resources? This is for IFS Cloud 24R1. I was pointed to IFS Apps 10 - IFS Data Migration Excel Add-in Overview and Demo | GoToStage.com and Excel Migration - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud for resources, but these have not been able to assist me with this particular issue. Thank you!
We use Expenses in IFS Apps 10 Aurena and are moving to IFS Cloud. The Add Transactions section has the option to copy object rows - but you cannot seem to paste them anywhere in the Transactions Section? I cannot understand why IFS would provide the Copy option, if you cannot then Paste. Am I missing something or have IFS just forgotten to finish this process? Or was it in the too difficult section? Any advice would be welcome.Thanks Trudy
IFS App 10. When a supplier payment order is created and sent to the bank (Nordea, ISO20022) that contains serveral debet and credit invoices (with a total positive amount), the camt054 return file has one <RmtInf> section for the supplier with several <Strd> sub section where each invoice is listed with invoice numbers and amount. This is visible in application messages:In this example the total amount paid to the supplier is 10473:When the file is transferred to External File Transactions, all the invoice numbers and amounts are put into one line:In the Mixed Payment IFS does not match the amounts per invoice (as listed in the camt file), but only matches the last invoice (with the total amount for all the invoices). Result: no invoice at all is matched, even if the camt054 file contains all the data. The problem is that IFS “put is all toghether in one line” and does not understand the data.Does anyone know what is wrong?External Payment Parameter Set-up:
I am migrating my IFS 10 database from Oracle 12G to 19C using the export import method (along with other steps to convert the database). After migrating the database to a new server, I ran the “Prepare Database” step from the IFS Build on the new application server. After that process completes (without any errors), I am trying to do a simple query from the database:Select * from customer_info as the IFSAPP user. When doing this, I receive an ORA-01031: Insufficient privileges error. Any idea what the issue might be?
We have a scenario where PO lines have mandatory pre posting has been enabled. Customer uses ad-hoc purchasing to report expenses that have been externally purchased after purchasing so that authorization process of normal Purchase Requisition can be skipped. After enabling mandatory Pre posting on PO lines we are unable to complete the Ad Hoc purchasing and the process is not inheriting the Pre posting from Work Task as well. Is there any other setup that will help on this?
There is a scenario where we need to setup prorated leave balance for PTO.Amount of days received is prorated based on when you start. January – March : receive 3 days PTOApril – June : receive 2 days PTOJuly – September : receive 1 day PTOOctober – December : receive 0 days PTO

What is the missing link to have Document Text default on every purchase order created to a select supplier?According to Online Documentation, adding a Document Text on the Supplier Misc Supplier Info tab will populate on any purchase order created.Excerpt from: Enter Miscellaneous Supplier InfoA document text with a suitable output type that has been linked to the supplier will be transferred as the default value to any of the supplier's subsequent purchase orders. Output types, phrases, and document phrases are all managed in the Document Text Administration window.Our output type PONOTE0000 is applicable for Purchase Order per Document Text Administration setup.The Document Text was added to the Supplier.But it does not populate on subsequent purchase orders.
