IFS Solutions

Hello, I am doing a few quick reports and what would help me is a full list of the available out the box functions within IFS.  At present i am using joins, but have noted that there are far easier ways of achieving the same results via functions. I have seen and made use of the following in some of my Quick reports. ifsapp.Comm_Method_API.Get_Default_Value('PERSON',t.person_id,'PHONE') Personal_Contact_Phone,ifsapp.Comm_Method_API.Get_Default_Value('PERSON',t.person_id,'MOBILE') Mobile_Number,ifsapp.Comm_Method_API.Get_Default_Value('PERSON',t.person_id,'E_MAIL') Personal_Email, Is there somewhere that I can find a comprehensive list of the available functions?Thanks,Noel 

Hi AllI have a situation where a POCO revision 0 was created automatically when trying to cancel [through a DR script] the original PO. So far I couldn't recreate it.  What I wanted to check through the forum is that, have you encountered this before? With regards to the automatic POCO setup, 1. Site - Enforce POCO is not on2. Supplier - Use the site settingHence in my opinion, a POCO revision shouldn't be automatically created. What do you think? We are running IFS 24.1.9 Thanks,Asela 

In the new release > ‘New Part’ view there is no tab for ‘Purchase Part’ therefore you can’s add specific Purchase Part Information. This is a step back in utilising this view - is this a bug or a change that has been made?Only when Part Type ‘Purchased Non-Inventory Part’ is selected do you get a view to input ‘Purchase Part’ information Can anyone advise on this?  

Hi All, We recently setup resource groups in our environment. Do we have any function in the application to update resource id for the existing project transactions.Regards,Malinda.

Our customer uses a prototype structure for cost demonstration, and their product structure includes multiple levels. I noticed that the "Cost Build-Up per Structure/Routing" page doesn't seem to support cost calculation for multi-level structures.Do you know if there's an alternative way to handle this, or any workaround you could recommend?Thanks in advance for your support!  

Hi, Is there any possibility to calculate the cost for ‘Prototype’ part with a prototype structure/routing ?   

What type of visual studio version required/compatible for IFS developer studio (community version is fine or we need enterprise license type?) 

Hello!Is there any possibility to configure Terminate Employment Configuration in IFS Cloud similar to the IFS version 10? Whereas the older environment offers “HR Assistant Configuration” with “Type” (such as New Employee/New Expense/Terminate Employment), in IFS Cloud I can not find anything like that. Despite three possible options in Cloud (Mandatory Steps Only/With Employee Assignments/With All The Steps), I miss little more detailed settings. Thank you for any tips or tricks! Best regardsb.d

This post is relevant for some customers that uses the Aurena Agent and where the IFS server has SSL/TLS certificates provided by Digicert.The problemWe recently got a report from a customer using the Aurena Agent that it stopped working. After some investigations by IFS Support it was concluded that the problem was due to a recent mass-expiration of SSL/TLS certificates provided by Digicert (it has been reported about for example here: https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/revoked-digicert-digital-certificates-27-yet-replaced-a-26032). This forced a new certificates to be installed on the IFS server, which in turn makes to the Aurena Agent refuse to execute any commands initiated from that server.BackgroundWhen the Aurena Agent installer is run, th

Greetings!I am trying to add part number 45594 to the Configurate Structure but get an alert message “Phase in date of this component conflicts with parent revision date.” Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this in Apps 10?  

Hi Team,Have you observed below error in connectivity IN message ?All invoices have to be checked in Load ID 8414 !                    ORA-20105: ExtIncInvUtil.NOTALLCHKI’m running intra-company invoice (within same system) using message class MHS and I get above error.Any lead to resolve this is appreciated.

Hi,We are using IFSAPP10 and need to trace import/export operations. As an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) we have to provide traceability from importing matierials to exporting the repaired elements. We are asking for this requirement to be implemented in the version we are using that is IFSAPP and up to know we have had no positive answer. This is a major issue to us as we may loose our certification as AEO. I include relevant information form Spain Government https://sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es/Sede/en_gb/aduanas/operador-economico-autorizado-oea.html For re-exports of materials, traceability is required between the method of importation and exportation. An example is the inward processing customs arrangements, under which a good

We are seeing the following error when trying to print a customer invoice GENREPORTIO:Could not generate report: 'TRANS_ERROR:Failed transforming report data : 'javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: The end-tag for element type "PRICE_UNIT_MEA" must end with a '>' delimiter.''This happens when I do ‘reprint modified’. Also when I try to do reprint original from archive i get the same error but this time a little bit different:GENREPORTIO:Could not generate report: 'TRANS_ERROR:Failed transforming report data : 'javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Element type "INVOICE_TEXT" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".'' 

I am working with BPA for validation purposes. To show a message I am using the IFS Failure Event (Validation Failure End Event) which is documented here: IFS Failure Event (Validation Failure End Event)My goal is to display a message from a variable. In my BPA I have a script task that sets a message variable like so:   I connected it directly to the IFS Failure and set the message to be ${errorMessage}:  When this BPA runs the message never substitutes the va

Hi,How can i produce an Inventory Projection report by month to include number of units, pallets and value at the end of each month for a 12 month period?We have tried using “MRP open supply and demand” as a basis but if there are no transactions in a month the table shows zero on the last day of the month there were no transactions in.

The event action of NOTIFY_NEXT_AUTH is enabled and we also have a notification schedule set. Not all authorizers/acknowledgers that are the next in line for the invoices assigned to them are receiving the email notification. Would acknowledgers also receive notification if we have this set? 

I want to create a report rule expression to use the customer ref field for an invoice, and to use the name regardless of if the user has entered this in upper or lower case.I have created the expression = UPPER([@CUSTOMER_ORDER_IVC_REP/CUST_REF]) Testing if this works how I expect it to it does not work how I would expect.  It works in PL SQL, so I now suspect it is not available in the report rule expressions.  I have seen the report rule is not being used in the report rule log. Does the upper function work on report rule expressions?  ThanksDarren 

Hi,Is there a way to create Return materials (RMA) to return issued parts from MWO?This is for a company doing delivery services using request management and how to return the parts if there is a defect or customer refuse the parts ex: delivered 3 parts, but need only 1.  

Dear team, is there someone who knows where we can we can nominate potential successors behind an employee, such asREPLACEMENTS READY NOW                            REPLACEMENTS READY IN FUTURE       (2-4 YEARS)                         is this functionality exists?

We had a customer order with 210 required qty, we intended to deliver only 20 pieces of that customer order, which were manually reserved (with serial numbers) We used the "quick order flow handling" function to issue the delivery note, but the system has automatically reserved and delivered 210 pieces instead of 20.This indicates that not only the reserved items were pick-reported, but also unreserved items, which should not happen in a serial-tracked sales process.Is there any setting which allows this automated delivery behavior or is this a bug in ifs?We are in IFS 22r2  

Hi There,I am looking for some guidance around setting up MS Azure IOT Central to feed data in to IFS Cloud 23R1.What should the Callback URL be? Ex: https://<host>/* What should the IAM Client Setup Redirect Uris?Thanks in Advance!Malik

Hi! We are having difficulty with our Advanced Planning Board (APB).When we try to copy Shop Orders into APB from our instance of IFS Cloud 23R1, it times out at the point of “Loading Schedule”. Then we get an error message that states “A Task was Cancelled”.Eventually it’s possible to get in and we can see the correct number of Shop Orders identified on the “Count Hits” function when loading a couple of shop orders. However, it doesn’t show any of the work centres, shop orders etc.We think that APB is linked to IFS (as it can see the orders we want to pull across) but the orders never actually come across from IFS Cloud into APB.Any idea what could be causing this please?

Hello,We’re still using an older version of IFS Applications, for which only light themes are available. I started digging into the files and found that colour, font, etc. properties are stored in XML files, so it’s easy to create new themes. I created a dark theme, but there’s one problem: IFS uses the system font settings for most of the data, and the font colour is, of course, black. Is there any way to override this? The only solution I could find was to use Windows' high contrast mode, but this affects all applications and I don't know anyone who would want to use it.

Hi All, I don't have a clear idea on using service delivery units in new service management module. Is service delivery unit a group of resources? If so what is the connection with Resource Groups? In standard tasks, we allocate resource group as a person demands. How this service delivery unit can be connected then?  When we transfer work task to mobile, we can transfer to specific resources or resource group as pool work. What is the similar functionality with service delivery units?  There is no separate page for service delivery unit. We can just create them under a service organization just by adding a row. Eventhough, we put same service delivery unit in different service organizations there is no any pop up message.  There is no specific place to add resources to a service delivery unit. We can include a resource to a service delivery unit when new service resource create. If we include a resource to a servi
