Does anyone has an idea for the situation below?Situation:We need to send e-invoice invoices (XML) to our customer in Belgium. For this, four customers have been created in IFS, even though it actually concerns one legal entity with one VAT number.The customer database in our set up in IFS is based on DUNS (credit agency nrs): for each unique DUNS number a customer is created. In other words, each location/branch of that customer has been assigned a separate credit agency number, although it is same entity
Hi Everyone,In both Sales Contracts and Sub Contracts, we have set up retention. While executing the contracts, I noticed a difference in how retention impacts the project figures. For example, in a Sales Contract with a total value of 400,000 and a 10% retention, once the Application for Payment is submitted, the Project Posted Revenue is updated to 360,000, with the 40,000 retention correctly deducted.However, in the Sub Contract, once the valuation is certified, the Used Cost is updated without deducting the retention amount. The main issue I’ve identified is that, in the Sales Contract, the Planned Revenue reflects the total contract value, while the Posted Revenue is updated with the retention deducted. In contrast, in the Sub Contract, both the Planned Cost and Used Cost reflect the total contract value without deducting the retention. Could anyone please confirm if this is the expected system behavior or if there might be a configuration or process I’m missing?I would really app
In tasks using Action Flow, the last-step header displays “Report In” in English even when the app/environment is set to Portuguese (Brazil). Occurs on iOS and Android.
In our flat sheet processing dept we run multiple parts per sheet (nesting). So the employee will Start Production on multiple Shop Orders (same WC on Shop Orders). Example: Employee is working on 3 Shop Orders. Total time = 3 hoursCurrently 3 hours is added to each Shop Order for a total of 9 hoursWe would like to to split the time either evenly across (1 hour for each Shop Order) or split up based on qty/est. I’m sure there is a set up we are missing, but I’ve been searching for an answer without luck.We are on Cloud 23.1.7Thank you, in advance for your help.JoyGCX
Hello.On my customer invoice report, I would need to split an invoice line according to deliveries say, for a invoiced quantity of 10, I would have a shipped quantity of 7 on my delivery DEL1 and a shipped quantity of 3 on my delivery DEL2What’s the way for that?Also, among the deliveries that I can find, I would make sure that these deliveries are not yet invoiced.ThanksIFSAPP10 UPDATE 5
According to the IFS Cloud product documentation, “Unlike the purchase requisition authorization rule and the purchase order authorization rule, the approved supplier list has nothing to do with the amount on the requisition/order. Instead, the purpose of this list is for quality assurance authorization, and thus the quality assurance department will most likely maintain the list. For example, in the aviation industry where the requirements for aircraft part suppliers is very high, this list could be used to streamline authorized purchases. If the supplier has been approved, the flow will proceed without any stops. However, if the supplier is not approved or the expiration date for the approval has exceeded, the quality assurance department will be notified, and an authorized member of that department must confirm that the purchase can proceed.” It has been observed that if there are purchase authorization rules (PR or PO) do exist for purchasing amounts, they are still fetched for aut

Is it possible to have an image viewer with a flip feature in cloud? I haven’t seen any but maybe I might’ve missed something.Eg: If the image is a business card, the default should be the front side of the card and once clicked on the image preview in let’s say a header of a page, it should open an enlarged view with the front side of the card. There should be a flip button that flips the image and shows the rear side of the card.The images can be fetched from the attachments section. Is this possible in cloud via a customization?
Dear Community. I am working in 25R1 and previous versions, and have found when a Work Task Template has Material demand and the associated Maintenance Purchase Requisition is created from the Calendar Generation, it appears in the Currency of the Company, not the Currency as defined in the Supplier for Purchase Part record. The system does adjust the price on the PR to reflect the currency change, but still the PR appears in the incorrect currency, also, the default Tax Code on the Supplier for Purchase Part is not used. This requires us to continually review generated PR’s and PO’s to ensure they are in the correct currency with the correct Tax Codes, which seems silly since the default values are set on the Supplier for Purchase Part. Am I missing something here?David.

Hello to the community, I have a question regarding a customer order (intersite CO) created in june that I want to invoice now. I create the invoice, and since date on invoice is date of order creation, I get the following message when printing customer invoice :“Printing Invoice No 424440 cannot be processed. ORA-20105: InvalidVoucherDate.: The invoice date cannot be earlier than the latest printed invoice date within validity period for series.” Does someone know how to tackle this issue ? I would like to know if there is a way to change invoice date to take date of today and not date of order? Thank you Tanya
Hi,In Setup History Log , there is a checkbox for Automatic History Removal. The technical documentation states “Automatic History Cleanup - will scan and remove history-entries older than specified number of days each time the Fnd Heavy Cleanup-job is executed.” However I am unable to find any schedule for the Fnd Heavy Cleanup-job. How frequently does the Fnd Heavy Cleanup-job get executed. I see a Database Task Chain is already present for Fnd Heavy Cleanup-job, but it is not scheduled. Also if the checkbox is not ticked, does a background job get created. I am unable to find any when I only specify the no of days and leave ‘Automatic History Removal’ unchecked
This is from 24R2: When I use the “Copy Expense Sheet” function and change the “from date” on the copy, which is a normal thing to do for a repeating expense claim or travel, the Expense Rule is nulled and I end up with a new travel expense without expense rule! It is not possible to change the expense rule in the copy process.This is when none of my 4 expense rules are marked as default. If I set one rule to be default, the default rule is chosen when I copy an expense sheet, but this could easily be wrong and I have to remember to change expense rule when the copy is created, to be able to use the correct expense codes etc.I want my copy to have the same expense rule as the original in the first place, is that possible?Regards, Dag Example: At this point I have just changed the date from July to October, and the Expense Rule field is emptied:
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.

In 25R1, when creating a new Opportunity the Company field defaults to the User’s default Company.In my solution, I want the End User to be able to see a blank Company field and select the Company from a list rather than defaulting to the User’s default Company.I looked at using Page Designer but cannot see any options there.Any ideas ?
