As we continue to learn more about PM Actions in our process and the negative consequences of cancelling items in IFS we have some PM actions that were canceled at the work order and work task level. These Work orders and work task still show up in our maintenance plan on the PM action and the remaining to due column is still counting the days overdue and the due percentage is also still counting and going up. My question: Is it possible to do anything with these as we have some KPI’s that look at PM compliance and these outliers are negatively impacting our KPI’s. I have tried to go into the PM action maintenance plan and mark these as “No” for the generatable column, but due to the canceled status it will not allow me to edit the line and further more the work order or work task. There must be a way to fix this issue.
What does the “WEB_SITE_ADDRESS” parameter in the Document Default Values in IFS Document Management mean? Does someone know what it does? The explanation in the IFS Online Documentation about that, is not clear to me. Thank you and Best Regards,Thushitha

Hi Community I’m part of a new small data analyst team created within our company and we have been tasked with documenting all LOV’s in IFS 10 and the screens/fields they are used in.We are focusing on All Part types (Inventory, Sales, Maintenance etc), Customers and Suppliers to begin with, rather than going through each screen, tab and fields manually and writing them all down is there a way of extracting this info directly from IFS?I have it in my head there must be some links/tables in the background of IFS that show how everything is connected, I may be wrong, but anything has to be better than doing it all manually.Any help would be appreciated
Has anyone integrated Pacejet to IFS and used order line discounts and shipped internationally?We are running into a couple of issues with our setup.1 - IFS Shipment Pro Forma uses Customs Value as the value it displays, but it sends price to Pacejet. This causes a discrepancy on international paperwork because the SLI in pacejet does not have the same price2 - We use percentage discounts on order lines and again IFS send the price, not the discounted price to Pacejet and again we have a discrepancy on international paperwork. Has anyone dealt with these issues? If so, how have you resolved them.
Hello community,I am here with a new issue. 😊In IFS Cloud, we can manually scan delivery notes.Now I want to automate this process using BPA Workflows.The first question is::Can we read or scan a PDF file with workflows? Thank you in advance.
I am trying to set up a database task for condition or criteria based PMs to run automatically, however I can no longer find the PM_Criteria method in cloud. We can still manually run the condition based in the maintenance plan but that is not a viable option for most companies. What am I missing?
I have a ticket in with IFS about this issue at the moment but I also wanted to post it out here to let everyone else know that this is occurring in cloud today. On the IPAP screen there is a column called “projected quantity”. In the past, if you filtered the list on the “all” tab, projected qty would update based off of the available qty - the qty required for the specific order/filter applied. This was the logic in 10 at least. In cloud this does not happen and our buyers almost bought more material because the filter that’s being applied was not recalculating the projected qty.We regularly filter out MRP messages and won’t do the type of filtering that I’m doing below but the reason for filtering out the MRP messages is because it’s just a suggestion, we may move those orders around. The only way to remove the MRP messages from cloud is to delete the messages which we also don’t want to do.Please see my screenshots. IEE previous line projected qty minus demand = current line projec
Hello,I’ve the following situation involving a rebase configuration:Created a new context for company address page where I did some changes (removed tabs, fields etc) and most importantly, to one of the page’s selectors:Modifications in the page Modifications in the page’s selector Then I’ve created a new command through code customization and added it in the selector:Adding command to the selector’s page through code customization After the deploy, the command appears without problems in global context: Custom command in pageBut for my context_test, the command doesn’t appear because the selector was modified through the page designer and a warning appears saying a rebase is needed, so far it is normal behaviour: Custom command not appearing in a personalized context But when I click to rebase, the command only appears if I apply the entire selector which in the process, I lose all my modifications unless I revert them one by one: Before clicking to rebase the entire selectorAfter cli
Hi,I am experiencing an issue with the data that is transferred from my product structure to the component parts.I use the Purchase Component Method: Customer order and I want to charge the supplier in some specific parts and for some other purchase parts I do not want to charge the parts shipped.I expected that the product structure linked to my purchase part would influence how the component part is created. However, the expected values are not being transferred automatically.I can manually override the field, but my requirement is to use a combination of both approaches depending on the product structure that is being used.Am I missing a specific setting, or does anyone have experience with a similar setup and know how this can be achieved? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello We have an advanced debit invoice for 68K. An advanced credit invoice was created out of it for 52K in error. The advanced credit invoice is posted authorized. Is there a way to cancel the advanced credit invoice? Would appreciate help/advice on this.
Hi, Does IFS Cloud have a standard feature that blocks the quantities in a particular location that are expired, or about to expire, (probably through an Availability Control ID)?May be a job executed daily to check such quantities and block for demands ? Or at least a report. Version : 25R2
We want to have a list of states and our license numbers to work in those states. There is a built in table for states that I thought to use for this purpose. Before even adding license numbers to that table, I tried to supply a state code and get the state name from the table, however something is not working. I have used nested SELECT statements before elsewhere, but it seems to fail here.The inside Select statement returns what I would expect. A state code from the address ID of the Customer. If I use a different state code that isn’t a select, but just a dummy variable, the outer Select statement returns the state name. But when I put it all together, it seems to fail.Is anyone able to tell me what I am missing?Using these arguments: v.Customer_No, v.Ship_Addr_NoSELECT State_Name FROM State_Codes_Tab WHERE State_Code = (SELECT State FROM Customer_Info_Address WHERE (Customer_Id = :Customer_No) AND (Address_Id = :Ship_Addr_No)) AND Country_Code = 'US'
We recently reviewed the approved CA/B Forum Ballot SC-081v3, which introduces a phased reduction of publicly trusted TLS certificate validity periods and validation data reuse periods over the coming years.As currently published, the maximum TLS certificate validity period will gradually reduce from 398 days to 47 days by March 2029, while domain validation reuse periods will eventually reduce to as little as 10 days.Given these industry-wide changes, we would like to understand IFS's plans and recommendations regarding certificate lifecycle management for IFS Cloud environments.Could you please provide information on the following for remote deployment:1. Has IFS already assessed the impact of SC-081v3 on IFS Cloud deployments and related components?2. Are there any planned product enhancements or roadmap items to support shorter certificate lifecycles?3. Does IFS have any recommendations for automated certificate management solutions or approaches that can be used within IFS Cloud e

Hello,We are doing an Upgrade for a Customer who is upgrading from Apps10 to IFS Cloud 24R1 (have plans to get 24R2 or 25R1 in future). This is a remote customer who uses a lot of documents.In their current Apps10 system, they have these documents in FTP Repository & database.With the news of FTP getting obsoleted in IFS Cloud 24R1, we decided to implement File Storage for this customer. We have below two questions regarding this situation,We assumed FTP will be fully obsoleted by 24R1 but I can see FTP as an option in this customer’s new 24R1 system. Was this plan to obsolete got changed or postponed to later versions?If FTP is indeed obsoleted and this customer needs to move their documents in FTP to FSS, what would be better/efficient way IFS can suggest? They already went through the FSMig tool’s documentation and have some concerns on the efficiency and support for that tool for FTP. Do we have another tested method in which this customer can benefit from? There is around 5TB
Hi all,We use Pagero as our service provider for all our invoices ( from suppliers and to customers). Can Data Capture Management in IFS Cloud, replace Pagero in total? We would like to know if any customer has changed from Pagero to data capture within IFS Cloud, and their experience so far….
Hello,Can someone explain me the functionality in AFP. In AFP for an example if I have multiple applications created (1,2,3,etc.) why is it always need to certify the value in application 1 before proceeding the certification in application 2. And what is the reason for considering the cumulative value of the application above applications if we try to certify an individual application separately.Is there a workaround for allowing single applications to be billed separately without taking the cumulative effect.Thank you!
We are using PSO 6.16.0.61 with FSM Smartclient. We deploy distribution (delivery) drivers as well as technicians to customer locations. Only technicians are being scheduled in PSO. All active technicians have assigned shifts in PSO and are in rotas. However there are times when technicians are driving delivery trucks (random days) on days when they also have their normal tech shifts in the PSO rota - as desired, they aren’t getting any service work because the truck selection they make at logon via mobile to FSM relates to a non-tech skill (techs must have the appropriate technician truck skills in order to get work assigned through PSO).The problem is that in the scenario above the team that oversees review of the PSO Scheduling Resource Gantt just sees technicians with schedulable shifts, logons and logoffs, but no assigned work when the tech is driving a delivery truck (since delivery work not assigned through PSO without appropriate truck skill).What is a good way to change the vi
Hello everybody, in IFS APPS10 we had a field “Input File Directory”. It is no loger available in IFS Cloud.How can I define the server directory on this screen? Thank you.
Hello everyone,we have a customer using PSO Standalone (version 6.16.0.71).Orders are created in an external source system and then transferred to PSO via an interface.Requirement:Some orders are created once (e.g., for a full month), but need to be executed daily for a short duration (e.g., 10 minutes).We are currently using Dynamic Scheduling.In Cyclic Scheduling, we noticed that activities can be defined as “Repeatable”, which is exactly the type of functionality we would need in Dynamic Scheduling.However, we are facing the following limitations:Activities in Cyclic Scheduling are not flexible to adjust or modify Dynamic Scheduling does not provide an equivalent standard feature for recurring activitiesQuestion:Has anyone implemented a similar scenario?Is there a recommended approach or best practice to handle daily recurring activities in Dynamic Scheduling?Thanks in advance!
Hi IFS team,We support a client currently running IFS Cloud 24R2. Per the Support Policy (Continuous Support Model), 24R2 will lose Current Release status once 26R2 goes GA, since only the latest Release plus the three previous ones are supported at any time. This would end Service Updates and support for 24R2.Could you confirm:1. The planned/confirmed GA date for IFS Cloud 26R22. The exact date 24R2 will exit Current Release status and stop receiving Service Updates3. Whether a formal retirement notice for 24R2 has already been posted on Community (per the 12-month advance notice commitment in the Support Policy)This will help us plan our client's upgrade timeline. Thanks in advance.
