Hi All, When using the inventory cost setting; Standard Cost, Cost per Part, Zero Cost ForbiddenIn previous releases of IFS, you was forced to calculate cost and copy to cost set one, before receipt of the part as inventory value zero was not allowed. The calculation of cost and set standard cost is a fundamental concept for many companies. We are now running IFS Cloud 23R2 and notice that you are not forced to calculate and set standard cost anymore, is that a new parameter implemented to get old logic to be used?I have read release notes from App 10 and later but haven’t found anything related to this issue. To set Unit Cost based on estimated shop order cost when first received is not accepted by all controlers.

Hello - I added a non-inventory to a sales order and released the sales order. The Purchase Requisition was created. I need to add NO PART REQUISITION lines to the req before I convert the req to a PO. I received an error message that the line could not be inserted in ORDER CODE 2 - DIRECT DELIVERY. I then tried creating another req and added all the NO PART REQ lines, but I could not add the req to the first PO. Any ideas?

How can we integrate GIS system GE Small World with IFS Cloud?

Hello IFS friends -I have an issue with supplier invoice due dates.  The invoice is loaded from an external source (Pagero).  The invoice itself does not have a due date on it so Pagero is loading the due date the same as the invoice date.  However, the supplier record has payment terms of 40 days.  The recalculate due date is checked on the message default tab of the supplier record. It is my understanding that by checking the recalculate box, the payment terms on the supplier record would be used to establish the due date.  The recalculation is not working for many suppliers but it is also working on other suppliers.  I have not been able to find a commonality for the invoices with the wrong due date.  Any ideas?  We are using IFS10 U23. External supplier invoice screenThanks!

Hi,I am looking to create a single, unified event log that records all key events related to Kanban inventory movements in IFS. The goal is to track every step of the Kanban material flow—from when a transport task is created, to picking, completion, and delivery—ensuring all these transactions are logged in one central location.I have designed the following entity-relationship model (attached image) to illustrate how I want to structure the event log. The Event Log should contain:A CaseID (which represents the specific Kanban transfer instance). A list of Activities that occur during the transfer. A Timestamp for each logged event.The Transfer Order table represents the core process of moving material between storage locations, while the Activity table logs specific actions performed during the transfer.However, I am not sure how to proceed from this point in IFS.Objective:Capture all events related to Kanban inventory movements Ensure that all events are stored in a single, structure

Hello everyone,Our customer would like to see both the name and category of an absence. Currently, absences are created as Misc Resource Allocation. I have already attempted to display this data in PSO using lists, but it is not showing up.Is there a way to achieve this, or is a solution planned for the near future?Thank you!

We are moving from App9 to IFS Cloud and have some concerns with controlling the access:How can we monitor the user log in sessions and the device used? How can we monitor the user location when logging in? Is it possible to see the CPU use per user, e.g. someone downloading or uploading large amounts of data? How can we ensure the same user ID is only logged on via 1 device/IP, restricting the use of the same user ID on multiple devices at the same time (or from different IP’s at the same time)?Regards Hans

The e-sign functionality is only supported in IFS Cloud Services deployment. Remote or On-Premises installations are not yet supported.Is there a plan to support this for remote?

Hi Evryone, Does anyone knows what could be the impact of removing an Entity (MrpPartAction) from the list of Excluded Entities ? My purpose is to be able to create a read only custom field in MRP Action Proposals window. In a Test Environment, I’ve made the trial, I removed the record MrpPartAction from the list in Excluded Entities, then I was able to create my read only custom field, but before deploying into PROD environement, I would like measure potentials impacts. Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Jean-Christophe

Hi all, I’m working on the implementation of IFS GIS Map and during the presentation of the functionalities the Client raised some questions:Is the IFS GIS Map integrated only with ESRI's ArcGIS, or can another GIS service be used? According to the documentation and API, I believe it only supports ArcGIS. The Client is requesting a clear answer. The layers and maps created in ArcGIS are published on the server and accessed by the IFS GIS Map web application through REST APIs and URLs. How does data synchronization occur if there are updates to the map or layers? The Client's main concern is whether there is an impact if the ArcGIS server goes offline. Is this dependency present? For this initial work, I created an ArcGIS Online Trial - Creator user. After this period, a new trial account must be created, and there are restrictions regarding the email and organization used. Does IFS have an ArcGIS license with a standard user for this type of activity, similar to the Owner user of the d

HiMy customer is planning to upgrade from version 23r1 to 24r2 and is seeking a smooth way to manage projection changes post-upgrade. Do we have a recommended approach for this?During their last upgrade, they encountered a significant challenge with a long list of affected projections—numbering in the thousands. The individual responsible for handling the granting process faced considerable difficulties, as each modified projection required re-granting./Maliha

HiWe are trying to install and use IFS Report Designer on a server on our network to connect to our hosted IFS environment. We have a VPN tunnel between our data centre and our hosted environment.Note we are on on IFS APPS10 Hosted but not IFS Cloud.I have been able to install the client but when trying to connect I get the error below:“You don’t have enough privileges to invoke this method” I’ve raised with IFS Support who have advised me to ask the Community.Has anyone seen this error before or can advise as it’s not clear what privileges? - For our hosted environment do we need particular access to the server (e.g. IFS Citrix) to run this? - We have VPN connection to the server but not sure if this is enough to access what we need? - Are there any other things we need to look at (certificates/IFS permissions etc.)? I’ve tried logging in as both IFSAPP and IFSADMIN.Any thoughts welcomed.

There are major issues regarding performance when working in the Project Gantt chart. Even a small WBS will be a challenge and for example creating activities and creating/adjusting dependencies can take minutes.  I know this has been a challenge for several years and there are a few topics on the matter.  Can we expect any improvements in the near future regarding this issues? Running on 23R2.
