Posting Proposals navigation from lobby in Aurena

I have seen the idea with title “Posting Proposal page search/filtering doesn't exist like other Aurena pages” , The explanation to this limitation is the following:The destination page - “Posting proposals” is designed in a different way than regular Aurena pages: it uses functions as the data source for the list element on this page. With this design, the current Aurena framework cannot support search/filtering support for this page. So navigations from the lobby or elsewhere cannot give the desired filtering here. (Note that even the “Search“option is not available for this page) As the posting proposals window is central in all invoice follow up, it is very unfortunate that filtering from lobby element is not working.My question to all you smart people in IFS Community is; Is there a possibility to navigate from lobby element and instruct the Posting Proposal page through parameters to open with a pre-defined search? Best regardsIrene

Cost Element mapping for Shop Order

Hello, Reaching out for your expert advice.I have a shop order connected to a Project. The transactions are generated as in the table. At the cost bucket, the Inventory value gets distributed in Labour, Overhead and Direct Materials, but at Project Monitoring the cost split between cost elements - Labour, Overhead and Material is also to be displayed.How should the cost elements be mapped to display those elements in Project Monitoring? Thank you.

How do you trigger event action off a date field?

I’m looking to trigger an event action email in IFS Cloud when the system date equals the date entered in the date field. I have tried entering TRUNC(SYSDATE), TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE), and #TODAY#. I have been using the NEW:EXP_DATE field. I’m trying OLD:EXP_DATE to see if this triggers.Does anybody know how to trigger an email when dates match?

Periodical Capitalization and Revenue Recognition

 Hello,I need your help to understand and find out if I am doing something wrong (perhaps incorrect settings).I placed a purchase order related to the project for a value of €1,000. The part is entered into stock at €1,000.I take the part out of the project and it comes out at 172.92 (Valo PUMP).I see that I have a value of 827.08 in my project stock, but I no longer have the part in stock, so it's 827.08. What should I do with it, as it appears in the accounts under account 31100000?Thank you for your help.  Financial project Inventory transaction history

Changing the Route Order for Report Picking of Pick Lines Sequence

We need to change the way our warehouse personnel pick parts from the warehouse. I believe the way we setup our warehouse locations when we first launched IFS may be the problem. This is one of our warehouse locations: 4012A. We assigned 40 to the row, 12 to the Tier and A to the Bay. So the row is correct. But the Bay or column should really be 12 and the Tier or level should really be A. This mis-assignment is causing our picking sequence to be inefficient. I believe the IFS default route order is Bay first then Row.So in our current situation a picker is routed to pick all parts in Bay A, row 40 first before picking any parts in Bay B, row 40. So essentially the picker is having to loop back to the beginning of Row 40 every time that person has to start picking from a different Bay.How do we change the Route Order so that we can pick by Tier first, then row since we are just reversing the default route order due our assignment problem? I was looking at the IFS documentation and it s

Removal of Crystal Reports in 25R1

According to the deprecation log here:  Crystal Reports integration is planned to be removed entirely from IFS Cloud with the 25R1 release.Can we get a comment on whether this is just a plan, or if it is definitely going to happen.We have a number of customers who have a large number of Crystal Reports, used for both Quick and Operational Reports.  If this is going to be removed they face a huge amount of rework based on this.  It is going to put Customers off upgrading to Cloud for sure.What are IFS suggesting is used to replace these Crystal reports that businesses have come to rely on over the years they have been IFS Customers?

Configuration of Ephemeral storage for deploys in ifscloud-values.yaml

Hello,I was trying to find if it’s possible to configure K8s ephemeral storage value for a deployment of an service in the ifscloud-values.yaml file.Specifcally I need to change ephemeral-storage value to ~16G for ifsapp-reporting-ren deployment in our IFS Cloud instance. Some pods has been crashing due to Eviction caused by exceeding the limit of ephemeral storage.Changing it via: kubectl edit deploy ifsapp-reporting-ren -n "NAMESPACE"after every delivery deployment could be frustrating and our team can easily forget about this step.Offical documentation only mentions replicas paramter:I couldn’t find values for k8s deployment requests and limits...Maybe there is some way to configure it to be constant, so that delivery installation will not erase it ?

Time Types and Resource Groups in MWO App

Hi all, I have a problem with time types and resource groups in IFS Cloud / MWO App.The Situation is, that we have one Resource Group, which contains all other Resource Groups of our different entities.The Reason is, that all resources need to be able to enter the time types in the MWO App independent on where they are in the world and which entity planned them. Now I have the problem, that not always the correct resource group is selectable in the MWO App. Sometimes its there and sometimes not. Independent of Task or Bundle Task or in which entity the resource is employed.For example 2 resources from the US, both working an Request Work Tasks, both identically set up.One can select the correct Time Types and one cant.Has anyone ever had similar issues?Thanks,Chris

Automatic locking of the user account

There is a user in IFS 9. This user's IFS account automatically locks. This user does not forget their password or enter it incorrectly. I open it in the morning, and when I close the IFS account in the evening, it automatically locks the next day. What could be the reason? This situation occurs with several users.

Required Dates in Estimate Bid Management

Hi,Does anybody know if the way IFS handles Estimate Item  > Required Date for components of BOM’s has changed from Apps10 to Cloud?In Apps 10, when I add an Item Type of PRODUCT (Part with BOM) and enter a Required Date, the subcomponent dates are planned. When I perform the same process in Cloud (24R2), my entered Required Date is populated into all sub-components. They are not planned like Apps10. I cannot find any reference to this functionality changing. Does anybody know if and when it was changed?

IFS Cloud - install new languages via delivery

Hello All, I’ve been trying to add some additional languages in a customer environment.I have added them from the BuildPlace: Pull Request was created automatically. I approved the merge to master and run sanity check + created delivery. Delivery was deployed to CFG, but I still don’t see the translations. In Used Languages only EN appears to have translations. Is there some step that I missed? Do I also need to download the language files and commit them in GIT in some folder?I was hoping this is done automatically when the delivery is applied.
