We have recently upgraded to Cloud version 25R1 - previously we used version 22R2… my planning colleagues say that if they manually amend the materials requirements on the shop order (to remove or replace or add a component for example), then if they subsequently change the lot size, the material components requirement revert to the effective revision structure and so undoes the previous component changes, reinstating the components before the earlier change but relative to the new lot size.  Effectively, there is a re-explosion of the effective structure based on the new lot sizeHowever, I am not convinced that this did not also prevail in the older version 22R2 - Co-pilot cannot find any reference to a change in this regard.  I cannot prove that it existed in our old version.Anyone know if this feature did exist in 22R2 and/or if it is indeed standard functionality?

In the Lines table of the Customer Invoice, the Qty Invoiced field can be edited (e.g., from 100 to 80) in the Preliminary status and the field Preliminary Update Allowed is checked.However, when I try to save the data, I receive the following message.Quantity on Preliminary invoices may not be changed - reference G529808

In Cloud 24R2 SU6 we have custom event actions that use the job STEP_READY_FOR_APPROVAL. It is set up for specific users. We have received a request to have the event triggered for ALL employees within a specific site. From what I understand we cannot set up the event action to look at employees where their default site is ‘X’.I have tried using a workflow, however, have been unsucessful. The SitesperUserHandling uses UserId and Approvalshandling uses PersonId so I cannot get a relationship between the two.Any suggestions on how we can accomplish this request would be greatly appreciatedThank you

receiving the below error. Action is not allowed. This invoice is generated through an application for payment. One or more later applications for payment with status certified, submitted, partially paid or fully paid exist.

Hi All,  On a non productive environment designed for testing specs : When I have entered all information necessary on a customer order header and want to save the edition, the following pop-up appears : “Document Adress xx is not valid _ check up validity period”.What strikes me is that all the elements below _ involving the document adress and everything else _ are the same between this non productive environment and the PROD environment that works correctly : Expiration date of the adress (none)Client Site Company I am completely lost as where to check to solve this issue: Do you guys have any idea where to dig ?  Best regards,

Even after reviewing the information below, I still couldn't figure out in what situations “service users” are used.<https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/030_administration/011_users/#service_users>Service Users¶Use for integration purposes. Mainly as Service Accounts for authentication through Client Credential flow. These users are not allowed to login to the IFS Cloud Web directly and do not synchoronized through external user registry.Could you please describe the “Service Users” use cases in as much detail as possible?Also, could you also let me know which SKU is required to use “Service Users”?Best Regards,

Hi All,In the IFS project module, we can create miscellaneous demands and set the planning method to MRP. Is there a standard way in IFS to hide these demands from planning?In the customer order process, there is a “Release for Material Planning” option. We can turn it off if a specific line should not be included in planning.I noticed there is an MRP Horizon setting where demands can be excluded based on date. However, I am looking for a way to control this at the individual line level within a project. Thanks,Chamath

Hi Team,Is there any out-of-the-box (OOTB) option in IFS Cloud to enable or display the Sign-Off Requirement tab in the Prepare Work Order screen?Our requirement is to have sign-off details available during the work order preparation stage, but currently, we are not able to find a standard option to achieve this.

Hi AllWe need to integrate PDF files with surrounding systems.

Hi there folks!I’m working with a customer who has an IFS 2004 FLEX version that they are running. I dug up some old notes that I would like to share with the IFS Community in case I (or anyone else) needs this question answered in the future.First prerequisite is that you will need a full-sized keyboard, with a number pad embedded inside of it. Make sure that Num-Lock is enabled. Enter the key combination of the right-side Ctrl (not the “normal” one on the left-hand side) + 0 (INS) Key on the numpad + Right-mouse in the grey area behind any open window in a running IFS session. This will open up the IFS debug console for that version, likely others as well that run the Centura-based IFS client. Right-side CTRL + Number-pad 0 / INS + RMB outside of any frame within the application

Hello,We are trying to develop a projection customization which will eliminate the need of sending multiple calls to InventoryPartService to fetch Inventory Part Information and their Characteristics.  Currently, InventoryPartService has the projection action GetPartInformation which does this for us.  However, we also require the ability to filter on specific attributes both in the top level and in the nested structure for the characteristics.  Using OData functions such as $filter, $top, $select, etc is not possible when calling projection actions.My question is, is there any way to create a customized entity or customize the projection in a way such that when sending a GET for the InventoryPart entity, it would return the header information along with the Characteristics in one structure?  This would of course be a nested structure where InventoryPart is the root, and then Characteristics would be a list attribute for all of that part’s characteristics.  I kn

When I try to re-open a closed shop order, I am receiving this error message: The orders existing reserved parent tracked structures are complete or none of the tracked components needed are reserved.Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it?Received in IFS Cloud 24R2

Hi All,In IFS APP 10 and Oracle database, Am I correct to say: IFS does not continuously check for changes and new notifications. Instead, it works in a reactive way.This means:When something happens (like an approval or status change), the system triggers the notification immediately It does not keep checking repeatedly to see if something changedA simple way to think about it:It works like a doorbell — when pressed, it responds instantlyNot like repeatedly opening the door to check if someone is there. Many thanks in advance

To use the self-service procurement portal, I want to navigate from the Project Definition to the materials&Services to open the procurement portal from there. Which LTU allows me to perform these actions?If I only assign the EMP_SELF_SERV_PROC_LTU to a user, I cannot first go to my project to open the materials and services menu. I want to open the procurement portal from that activity. What is the solution for this? 

Hi there. How do I get charges connected to a sales part to appear on a Service quotation?  We have environmental fees connected to some sales parts (let’s say a lead battery) that we have to invoice our customers. When creating a Customer order, there are a tab with charges.I have connected a charge to sales part 10091. And when adding this sales part on the Customer order, a charge line is created in tab charges.All good there…   …But when making a Service quotation. I can not find any tab that show/connects charges associated with the sales part. 

I have created a request with status New after providing all required information. Under this request, I have created a connected task (Task ID: 351) with all mandatory details. Is there any standard functionality in IFS Service Management that allows me to release the task independently, while keeping the request in new status.In other words, can a task be released without releasing the parent request?

Hi,Does anyone remember if a pdf was generated in to the Archive when a crystal layout was printed in APP75. It works for Report Designer layouts but ‘Show Pdf’ id disabled when printing using a crystal layout, or could this be an issue caused by some other reason related to printer/crystal server setup.Thank you very much. 

Hi,Has anyone done anything related to automatically saving printed pdf files in to a folder location. This is for an APP75 customer so report rules are not available. Also SEND_PDF_TO_CONNECT only seem to work with Report Designer layouts not Crystal.Thank you in Advance!

Hi all,We are exploring the use of Oracle Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR) in our environment to support zero-downtime database changes during upgrades and deployments.I would like to understand if EBR is supported or recommended in IFS Cloud environments, particularly in scenarios involving customization or extension of database objects (e.g., projections, custom fields, or PL/SQL logic).Specifically: Does IFS Cloud officially support or restrict the use of EBR? Are there any known limitations or risks when enabling editions on schemas used by IFS? Has anyone successfully implemented EBR in an IFS environment (Apps 10 or IFS Cloud), and what was your experience? Are there recommended best practices for handling database changes without downtime in IFS, if EBR is not applicable? Any guidance or real-world experience would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

Having copied the PurchaseOrderPrint.report and .PurchaseOrderPrint.rdf to my custom area.Opened in IFS Developer Studio.  Added an entity to the PurchaseOrderPrint.report and updating the .rdf as required.  After saving the changes then clicked Generate Code.   On checking the generated .rdf file the SELECT statements appear to have changed.     CURSOR get_pur_part_manufacturer IS      SELECT         NULL            NULL      FROM dual;          However, in the original PurchaseOrderPrint.rdf from CORE there is a CURSOR get_pur_part_manufacturers:   CURSOR get_pur_part_manufacturers(contract_ VARCHAR2, part_no_ VARCHAR2, vendor_no_ VARCHAR2) IS     SELECT *           FROM   purchase_part_suppl_manuf     WHERE  contract  = contract_     AND    part_no   = part_no_     AND    vendor_no = vendor_no_;     

Why do the "Previous Work Center" and "Next Work Center" fields in the "Shop Order Operations" screen display " - " (space-space)when they are empty?When I search for data where these fields are empty, the leading space is removed in the basic search. I can only add the spaces back when I switch to the advanced search.This behavior makes searching with these fields unnecessarily complicated for end users.

Hello, I have a setup with a customer where company A can take out material from Company B´s warehouse  via internal trade setup. As company A might pick up more material than needed they often get back and return material to Company B´s warehouse.  How do we make this by best practice? RMA? But as the invoice is already matched automatically with the PO at Company B we cannot change the received amount and match the credit invoice automatically. OR what am I missing here? :) If you do RMA you register arrival for the RMA but the PO is not adjusted? Thanks for any input!
