I have a strange problem. I have developed a SQL Quick Report which execute perfectly: returns 19 rows as expected but no data is shown in some of the columns. These columns are related to Shop Order Costs.So if I log in to IEE,  go the the SQL QR and execute it: the cost columns are empty for all 19 rows. If I open the Shop Order Costs form, filter to the same order_no than the SQL QR: I can see the costs. Now if I go back and execute the SQL QR I get: 19 rows and all the empty cost columns are now full of number!What the hell is going on? Anyone have ideas?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if Apps10 is compatible with punchout technology for eProcurement? Is there any documentation available on how this can be setup in Apps10?Thanks 

We are under the impression that we have to create one sales part number and a different part number for purchases so we can track our inventory correctly. Is this true or is there a way to use the same part number for sales to customers and for purchase of components that go into top level parts we sell to customers?For example, we buy widget A under part number A001. This part is used in 10 other top-level parts we manufacture. We sell A001 as a top-level part to customers. So, for inventory tracking, we have the sales part A001 in sites 1 and 2 coded accounting group code 30 for Finished Goods. The purchase part A001 we have coded with accounting group code 10 for Purchased Part. It seems we are reserving the purchase parts for sales to customers versus using them to build top level parts for sale.Also, unfortunately, it seems our controller can’t seem to run month end reporting with correct inventory figures since we use the same part number for both sales and purc

Is it possible to estimate when improvements to conditional formatting will be available in the IFS Cloud?The options for conditional formatting in the IFS Cloud are significantly more limited compared to APPS10.The number of available colors is considerably smaller. Only the background, not the text itself, can be formatted. Text styles (bold, italic) cannot be adjusted. The available operators are also significantly restricted. We particularly miss the ability to search for parts of labels (e.g., "~pipe" for "contains pipe"). We are currently unable to replicate all the formatting options used in APPS10.Conditional formatting is a valuable tool for ensuring readability and a quick overview of tables. We hope that the familiar functionality will soon be available in the IFS Cloud as well. Best regardsJakob

Hi All,We are looking at the Strategic Procurement Module - has anyone got a set up guide, detailed presentations, videos or any information on how they set it up or how they are using is it?We want to see if we can use it to score our suppliers on a ‘word’ based questionnaire/survey (similar to 1-5). Survey to be emailed to our internal team on Projects and results recording in Supplier file KPI.If anyone else is using it for this, happy to share information on how we have integrated the Sub Contractor capacity - T/O versus outstanding SC Order Valuations to pay :). Thanks Trudy

I’ve got a question about the SQL statement generating by projections when there’s a reference involved. It’s heavily simplified from TransportTaskLinesList.projection:@Overrideentity TransportTaskLines using TransportTaskLine { crud = Read, Update, Delete; attribute PartNo Text { editable = [false]; } ... reference InventoryPartRef(FromContract, PartNo) to InventoryPart(Contract, PartNo);}When we use this, the generate select statement is going to look like this (again heavily simplified:SELECT A0.transport_task_status_db A0_transport_task_status_db .... FROM (SELECT A.* FROM (SELECT TRANSPORT_TASK_STATUS_DB transport_task_status_db, order_type_db order_type_db, transport_task_id transport_task_id ... FROM TRANSPORT_TASK_L

Hello, I would like to know whether there is a functionality to “delete” data by using data migration:Let me explain:Data has been integrated in IFS using data migrationThe client wants to delete and update a new list of data. Is it possible to “delete” data by using data migration. Thanking you for your feedback.

After upgrade to 24R1 i receive this information toaster message occasionally. I always get them when i log in, and then approximately one time each 10 minute. Message says “Unable to subscribe to notifications. You will not receive new notifications”. However i do still receive notifications. This issue is from a customer environment, and i have not seen it in other environments on 24R1. At least some other users have the same issue. Any ideas on why i get this message?

Dear community. Since moving to IFS Cloud we have found that when using the users local printers \\SERVER\PRINT to print reports, i.e. Purchase Order Arrival and Sales Order Quotation, if the report is landscape, it does not automatically rotate it, and it prints it on portrait orientation, and resizes the printout to fit inside the portrait orientation. We notice that when the job is printed, the system downloads the file to \downloads, which is expected, and when viewing the downloaded printout in Acrobat or similar, it appears to be in Landscape orientation, however the physical printout is always incorrect. I cant believe that we are the only ones that have ever seen this. Any assistance would be appreciated.David. 

Hi guys,When adding components to the Consist Of Tab in the Engineering Part Navigator on IFS Cloud the Drawing Position No tab is mandatory and it’s always a “*”. What is the purpose of this Tab and is it possible to remove it if not in use OR set default “*” when adding a new component to the BOM.Thank youRegardsIna

Can work Order Planning gantt in IFS Cloud 24R1 be enriched with custom fields?I have a requirement where work order planners need to plan and schedule work orders based on Equipment Object groups. Object group is not visible in the gantt view, so my intention was to add it as a custom field with page designer. However there is no list of attributes in the page designer. 

We are trying to delete an inventory part because it was entered incorrectly and are getting the following error message.  

Hi community, We work with IFS Apps10 and I'm trying to set up a Boomi integration for EDI Customer Orders via REST API calls.I managed to create a Customer order directly via the CustomerOrderHandling API, I'm able to make adjustments on the Lines, so that is working.But, it appears that in the Enterprise Explorer, within that created Customer Order, the "Send Confirmation" option is disabled . Searching the cause of this I found that in the Customer Order Presentation Object, a function CUSTOMER_ORDER_TRANSFER_API.Allowed_To_Send is called, which checks that the Customer order has a Message record in the table EXTERNAL_CUSTOMER_ORDER_TAB. It appears to be possible to pick a record in that table (with status Requires approval), patch it with the already created Customer Order number and then set the status to "Created" by means of the REST methodIncomingCustomerOrderHandling.svc/IncomingCustomerOrders(MessageId={message

Hi,We are currently using tax class for sales parts and it generally works fine (tax code is picked up from tax codes per tax class depending on delivery country). We use IFS10, UPD 15.But do anyone have any instructions for how to work with exemptions?Example 1, domestic sales (delivery country is domestic) but sales should be with zero VAT – for this we have set up separate address ID for customer with tax liability “exempt” and added tax free tax code. This works fine, but is it the recommended solution?Example 2, delivery country is foreign (other EU country), but invoice goes to domestic customer who is not liable for VAT in delivery country, so sales should be with domestic VAT. Adding a tax code on the delivery address does NOT override tax class setup, so tax code is still picked up from tax code per tax class and then needs to be manually changed on the customer order. Is there any way of setting up a delivery address so that correct tax code wou

Hi all, when selecting the Time Type Description and the Cost Category Description in the Page Designer as Attribute in the Time Report and Expense Report Lists the column in the Service Protocol is not populated until the MWO App is initialized again.In case of the Time Type I think there even is no pure Description to select as attribute.Is there a way to utilize the Descriptions that are already loaded in the MWO to not require an initialization to finalize a visit/report?When using the DB Viewer I can see the TimeTypeDesc value in the wo_time_type and the Description in the jt_cost_category.   

Hi Community,I would like to use different tax codes on a manual supplier invoice based on the supplier invoice address ID.I’ve added separate address IDs and tax codes under Delivery Tax Information, and the “Use Supplier Address for Tax” option is enabled for both addresses. However, when creating a manual supplier invoice, the system always applies the tax codes from the address ID that is set as the default delivery address for the supplier.Does anyone know how to change this behavior?Thanks in advance.  

We are trying to configure our Navigator to be as streamlined as possible, and to hide unnecessary menu items for all users. With the Navigator you can control the items either through access to pages/projections, and they are hidden in the menu, or you can use the Hide function in the Navigator.This is specifically useful for items which are visible on multiple menu branches. My question is how to manage/solve the following scenario.If we have two types of users who should see different items in the menu.When you Hide all items under one Node, or have removed all projection access to items on one node, the Node item is still visible, but it’s now a dead/empty button where nothing happens when you click on it (and it is also reverted to English for some reason).The reason why we do this is that some items should be hidden for All users, but some items should be available and visible if you have access to that projection/p

Hi Community, I want to create a migration Job which calls the procedure Confirm_Alternates from Engineering Transfer_API view. The Parameter Structure_rec_ is a variable for the above procedure Can anyone help me on how to use this as a parameter in migration job?Best Regards,Thean

Hi together,we have the requirment to develop an interface which transfers data to an external system via REST and to use the response for a 2nd call. We did similar things already many times, usually we call the connect framework from PL/SQL (PLSQL_REST_SENDER_API) and process the response in PL/SQL via callback. This works fine as long the response data is placed in the body by the external system. But in this case we are getting back the response in the header. Is there any possibility to access the header tags? In this case we would need the information of “Location” for further processing.

Hi, Does anyone know the logic for IFS Apps 10 when running costing for one specific part status, how does IFS determin what parts to include in the run?In the background job it  will show x nr of top parts where detected.The number here is much larger then top parts with the specific part status. Thanks in advance!Anna 

Hi @All,I´ve one question, we just installed Update 27 in APPS 10 and got now a strange error message, when we tried to change a weight (WEIGHT_NET in PART_CATALOG) for a part that is in use.The message tells us, that it is not possible to change a weight after there is a invoiced Shipment/customer order for that part.Is this a bug or a “new” function in IFS which cames with the update (we updated from 13 to 27)?Does anyone have experience with that issue?Thanks for any feedback.BRAndre

We have put in Update 28 to our 2 test environments.  We have found that the Purchase Order Authorization screen > View Only My Next Step generates an error for authorised users. If you are not an authoriser and therefore have nothing to authorise there is not an error.If you are an authoriser you get an ‘insufficient privileges’ error.Any ideas?  Is this another known bug in Update 28 that we have not been told about.PS - 2.0 folder has been deleted
