IFS Solutions

We recently discovered that a user received a PO line and then changed the PO line amount afterward. I was surprised to see that IFS allowed this, as I expected the system to lock the line once a receipt was processed. As a result, we now have a mismatch: the vendor tab reflects the updated amount (6,980), but the GL still shows the original amount (9,040), which makes sense since the financial postings were created at the time of receipt. My questions are:  Is IFS supposed to allow changes to PO line amounts after a receipt has been made? If so, how can we prevent or restrict this in our system to avoid financial discrepancies?  We’re using IFS Apps 10. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Can we recognize cost of good sold when the actual delivery has not done, but a stage billing invoice has created ?

Cloud 24R1 - The need is Supplier Request document attachments to be brought over to the Supplier record when created from the Supplier Request.I tried creating an OCT as per the screen shot. The Supplier_ID key does exist in the SupplierRequest, but I think it's not working as it's a populated field instead of a Key field. When I run the test, it states it has “passed” however the Source Key populates with REQUEST_ID, not SUPPLIER_ID.Any solution here? Or not a feasible solution? 

Community, Got this error, see below screenshot for MRP run. does it mean the PR generated by the system over the system allowable limit? i.e. 9999? How to fix this error? Thank you.

Hello -We are on apps10 update 25.  We are looking to use the advance customer invoice to bill our customers a prepayment amount.  I have been through all of the posts and see that the instant invoice has a check box to make it an advance invoice.  Then at some later point, the final invoice can be connected to the advance invoice.  I can not get the advance invoice to post so I assume I am missing some setup steps. Create collective vouchers is using IP19 but can not create due to unspecified errors. When I print the instant advance invoice, it is coming through as an invoice type of INSTINV with an invoice series of II.  I think it should come through as invoice series AD.  Also, the RMB from the instant invoice to select advance invoice is not available.  Does anyone have some guidance on how to setup the basics to use the advance invoice?TIA

Hi All, When we create a new command in Command Group in My Work Details page via Apps for Page Designer, the new command appears under “Actions” in Work Details page in MWO (right side in the second image). But in Work Details - IFS cloud (Apps for Page Designer) the commands are in together (first image). We cannot see any pattern there. Is there any way to get created command to the top row in MWO app instead among Actions?   TIA.

We’re working with a client who wants to implement the Service Management module in IFS Cloud, but wants to use it in combination with the Service Module Work Orders. When we have a released Service Request with linked released Work Tasks, is there any way of converting the Work Task into a Work Order, or, as an alternative creating a Work Order and then linking it back to a Request in Service Management.We can create Requests in Service Management and Service/Work Requests in Service there appear to be links between them.Is it a case of we’re going to need to chose between one or the other or is there some way of being able to link the two together?

Is it possible to block the print dialogue for Staged Billing when printing a Customer Order Confirmation?Around 30% of our Customer Orders require staged billing profiles.Currently, the global sales team has to close the additional print dialogue as we do not need to print it. Every time they print an order confirmation, IFS wants to print the staged billing too, it’s only one click, but it is tiresome for the teams and we are hoping to switch it off or make it voluntary at least.

We are running Apps10 UPD19 and are having problems with our Advance Invoice printouts.  This started in UPD14.When we print an Advance Invoice - if Finance overrides the default description (Prepayment) to anything else, the line item section of the invoice does not print.  It goes directly from the header section to the subtotal.If Finance leaves the default text as Prepayment - the invoice prints correctly.Looking at our report archive info - IFS uses our Invoice (CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP) Report definition for Advance Invoices.  When I compare the XML data for both invoices (prints correct vs. drops line item table), both appear to be correctly format XML files and the descriptive text is in the same tag (<CUSTOMER_PART_DESC>).  The solution IFS support provided is to use a different report layout, except the report layout that works is an old layout with the wrong company contact info.  I’m trying to figure out why my correct layout (I only have

IFS Developer Studio provides an “Application Feature” option when setting up a project. What does this mean when developing for IFS Cloud?  

We would like a way to reverse “Database Saves” that have been committed via the Advanced Planning Board. There appears two ways to save a schedule locally using the APB; by using “File Save…” and “Save Workspace”.What is the difference between saving a file and saving a workspace [in the APB] locally to my machine? It appears that the only way to load a [previously saved] file/workspace is to set the APB’s Application Run Mode to “Simulation Mode”. However, once this file is loaded in, we are unable to perform a “Database Save” because we are in simulation mode. And when you switch back to “Scheduler Mode” any data loaded in is cleared out. Because of this we are unable to commit any previously saved/loaded in files/workspaces back to IFS via a “Database Save”. Is there a way to save previously stored schedules (either file or workspace) back to the database? If so, how can this be done considering the behavior of the Application Run Mode?Our main

How to Remove IFS Migration Job - Excel Addings from Excel  

Hi.Does anyone have an explanation of what effect the ‘Refresh Rate’ button/setting has on the Smart Manufacturing Planning Board? I’m using 24R2.Thank you.Adrian.

I have a serialized assembly that has lot controlled components.  The as built structure for the assembly of the serialized assembly shows the lot batch numbers of the of the components I used to assemble the serialized parts.I now open a repair shop order and flag it as multi level.  I then issue the serialized assembly and the multilevel repair structure shows the lot batches of the components from the item’s original construction.  All is well so far. One of the components needs to be replaced and the original component is scrapped.  SO I do a remove and go ro do an add.  Questions:Why does the system automatically create a salvage part that I must now receive even though that component is just going to b=the scrap heap?  I can understand if it were a salvage or a replacement and I intend to use that partially used component elsewhere but why a salvage part if I am NOT salvaging it?  How do I just remove it an add a new one?

Hi,We are upgrading to IFS Cloud 23R2 and have an issue with Business Reporter reports that were written in IFS Apps 10.We have tested in the BR client versions 23.2.0, 23.2.1 and 23.2.2 – the issue is present in all of them.Our report developers have used multiple sheets and use many formulas referring to data on other sheets like this example:In the Design view you can see the reference to a sheet within the workbook. When the report is run you can see the sheet names have been stripped out so excel is now referring to cells on the current sheet:  We need this resolving ASAP as our go live approaches.We have raised a ticket but nothing has been done yet. ThanksPaul

Upon saving a Customer Order Header, I’ve noticed that the ‘Add New’ or ‘+’ no longer automatically appears on the Lines tab.Users must select the page refresh which then loads the icon.Is this a designed functionality change from 24R1 to 24R2 or a bug?  If the former, what is the reasoning behind the change?I can see this same behavior from Core to SU5. 

 When I manually report absence clockings, the clockings show up as 2 records in Employee Interval.  I’m expecting 1 record in Employee intervals. Below I would expect 1 line for the ‘In Absence’ and ‘Out Absence’.  I’m not getting that result, i’m getting 2 normal clockings when they should be an absence and am left with an open Absence.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,Ed 

Hi everyone,I'm currently configuring a Maintenance Survey (eForm) in IFS Cloud, to be used through the IFS MWO Service mobile app.I would like to know if there's any native way to capture the technician's GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) at the moment they: Fill out a specific field, or Take a photo through the eForm. I've already enabled GPS permissions for the application and for the user in the Mobile Apps Administration panel.Is there any method or best practice to store the location automatically in the form responses (via metadata, script, or system field)?Any official documentation or workaround would be really helpful.Thanks in advance!

In my tenure, I have worked with several automotive suppliers and their customers will often send a transaction for multiple lines of either multiple parts or the same part.  These lines  may have different customer PO numbers.  However, iur customer order lines don’t seem to allow that by design thus FORCING our customers to generate separate customer orders for the one incoming transactions. YEs, we can combine orders for the same customer, ship-to, etc. on a shipment but I would think we still need to allow our customers to adjust/enter the customer PO number and customer PO lone number on OUR customer order lines..Thoughts?
