Hello Community,What is the correct setup in IFS Business Planning to create a calculated Personnel Planning item that uses an Assumption Driver, multiplies it with personnel planning item, and outputs the values to designated account?The objective is to calculate employee social security expenses by multiplying employee salaries with an assumption driver.The salaries are fetched from HCM and stored in multiple planning units. The assumption driver values to calculate social security costs are stored in a single Planning Unit for assumption drivers. Here are the current definitions in detail:Personnel Planning ItemsThe calculated item is defined as follows: Select Salary and multiply it with Assumption Driver, (refer to the screenshot below).

Hi,I have problems upgrading a functionality to Cloud that worked in App8.It is an On-Premise Cloud installation.In App8 this value on the routing address:%FILE_OUT%/%RECEIVER%/%MESSAGE_FUNCTION%_%GUID%.xmlhad the desired effect of dynamically creating the directory named ’%RECEIVER%’ in ’%FILE_OUT%’ and the file was nicely put there. But in Cloud, no matter how I try, I get this error message:ExecutionException from Sender thread Caused by: ifs.fnd.connect.senders.ConnectSender$TemporaryFailureException: Error while sending data to file Caused by: jcifs.smb.SmbException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.I have tried with slash, backslash,doubling it, did not help.The value of RECEIVER is fine, if I use it like this:%RECEIVER%_%MESSAGE_FUNCTION%_%GUID%.xmlI get a nice output file, so it is not about the op system user not having enough grants for the directory.

Hi, I’m pretty sure this is possible.How do I set up a resource in ARP where their shift starts at 8am, but we might night want their travel for the day to start until 8:15am, 8:20am, 8:30am etc.Then the similar kind of thing at the end of the shift. If the shift ends at 5pm there can be a 30 minute window to allow an activity to finish or for travel home, but isn’t classed as Overtime. Cheers Ady

Hi Everyone,In supplier agreement what is used to control which supplier contract IFS Cloud uses for the quantity?We have 2 contracts, the old one still has some quantity (14) left and new one is fully (200) unutilized. Our PO is taking new contract since the quantity from old is not sufficient. Is the validity date or the contract number the decisive point here?What can be the case if we are able to use old contract first and then new one.Thank you.

HiIn Aurena, is it possible to make a field change colour based on content. We are simply trying to replicate Sticky Notes, which have disappeared in the Cloud, by creating a custom filed, then populating with data from our Apps9 db as part of the upgrade we are undertaking, and highlighting the field in Yellow if it has content.Thanks in advance, Tim 

My company recently migrated to IFS Cloud 23R1 (from 7.5, quite a leap).As part of this process, we identified a need to restrict access to some of our product data, so that only a select number of individuals have access to it.We have reviewed the options of populating by Site /by Company but it seems the tables we use Engineering Part/Master Part/Inventory Part would still be visible regardless of which of these we use.Do any of your users segregate Design Data access by product line (or similar)? Is it managed via a property/via site etc? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hi all,I want to integrate the "UPDATE_PASSWORD" information into a quick report, but I can't find this information (information missing from the FND_USER table).Regards.

We are running IFS cloud. I want to run an IFS Workflow when a ShopOrder Status changes to RELEASED. I spent way too much time trying to set this up and getting lots of unintuitive errors messages from the workflow designer and IFS when trying to test, deploy, etc. Anybody ever done this and have some pointers? Thanks,-Chris

Hi Experts,We have a Requirement in Service Contract where we should not invoice the Customer upto Certain price Limit but when exceed we should get their Approval to proceed further.its like this We setup Price limit say $200. Then if a Work order exceeded this Limit it should not allow us to proceed further instead to get the Customer Approval. How to handle this in IFS Cloud 24R2. Refer example below.In Contract lines I set a Price Limit. Then I create a work order for this Contract with more than this Amount.$2500 > $200 But this still allows me to create an invoice Preview and Customer order? 

One of our clients is required to include tariffs for the part cost setup. From the manufacturing side, currently, this is configured as follows: (In IFS Cloud 22R2)A new cost bucket is created to accommodate the tariff requirement. A new cost element is defined for Tariffs, and the defined cost bucket is connected After creating the supplier for the purchase part, delivery overhead details are added on the Delivery Overheads tab. Then, the part cost is calculated, and using the cost roll-up, the cost of the part, now including the tariff, is updated to Cost set 1.Next, a purchase order with this part (which has a tariff as a delivery overhead) is created, and once the goods are received, the postings below are created.Purchase Order Amount - $175 (The part with tariff overhead is connected)M1 (Debit)

Hello to all,Under EE in IFS APPS10, we had the possibility to access directly to the history log of a particular screen by doing a CTRL+F9.What is the equivalent in cloud? Is there a button? Thank you! 

I managed to create a customer invoice in IFS Cloud with a combination of tax liability TAX and EXEMPT. Is there a way to prevent this?I have created a customer order for delivery of goods to another European country. VAT rate is 0% since the VAT liability is shifted to the customer. A second line is added to the customer order to provide installation services. The services are handled by a local supplier and must therefore be charged with local VAT rate. After registering delivery of both goods (EXEMPT) and service (TAX), I created a customer invoice that contains both lines. I expected that 2 invoices would be created by the system.

Hi all,I am trying to find a solution for this requirement in the Service Management module but I haven’t found a way to do it in Cloud yet (I’m using 24R2).The situation is the following: when the engineer goes on-site and spends more than 1 hour, only AFTER the first hour is invoiceable. For example:The engineer spends 0,5 h → free The engineer spends 1 h→ free The engineer spends 1,5h → we charge 0,5 The engineer spends 3,5h → we charge 2,5I have tried to use the price breaks and add the sales part “Resource” to the price list with this condition: However, when trying to raise a job, although for the job which last less than 1 hour is free (which is what we want), if we raise a job and keep open for more than 1 hour, it charges the whole time.Do you know if there

I created a Workflow Configuration (Portal and mWO) for Work Task where the action “Task Measurement” is enabled and defined as “Mandatory”.in IFS Cloud 24R2.When I completed a Work Assignment of a work task without registration of any measurement, I expected that I get a message.Is this functionality only working for mWO and not for Technician Portal?

In Work Task, the lines from Time Reports tab are missing in the Sales tab.

Hi all,Currently we are using a dedicated demand plan server installation for each of our IFS Cloud environments, which is one productive and 3 different test envionments. We are planning to move the demand plan server installations to one single host. The idea is to use a different port for each of the environments.However, when trying to run them in parallel it seems that only the service whic was started first is working.Does anyone have experience in setting this is properly?Thanks

I’m currently working on a Workflow for a customer.The Workflow shall create Purchase Orders with Purchase Order Lines for different parts.For this I need to pass the buy unit price but before I can do that, I would like to fetch the correct price first.From debugger I can see that IFS calls PurchaseOrderHandling.svc/ValidateBuyQtyDue.When trying to call this api from the workflow I get the following message:This references unsupported datatype(s)and I cannot seem to get it to work. Any expirence with this or suggestions to other api to use?OBS: price list are used for some Supplier for Purchase Parts.  

Hi Experts,I’m currently unable to close the accounting period due to the error message: “Transactions waiting to be transferred from Distribution and/or Manufacturing.” To investigate, I checked the Supply Chain and Manufacturing Posting Analysis and found 302 records with the status marked as Completed. I attempted to transfer these transactions by running the Purchase Transactions process, but no changes occurred, even though the background process shows as posted successfully. Upon reviewing the Purchase Transaction Details, I discovered that all 302 records are linked to a single calculated Purchase Order (PO) & Site. At this point, I’m unsure how to proceed, as the transactions are not transferring and are blocking the period closure. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a difference in handling purchase order price adjustment in posting proposal company compared to a non-posting proposal company in cloud? 

Do Supplier Schedule types Plan and Calloff fundamentally and technically behave differently or is it the same functionality offered that can be used differently?

Hi ,We are trying to use Spend Analysis sample BI report and it’s not loading data into the report. The tabular model is deployed, and the Supplier Performance sample BI report is working as expected, even though both reports fall under Procurement. Our customer is using version 23R1. Our customer is in 23R1. Fix this command in the report does not fix the issues as well. User have access to all the sites and companies  as well.Many thanks for your inputs on this issue.Best regards,Uvini

How can I get intersite cost to update on receipt? We want to automatically update the purchase price on Site#1 with the cost from Site#2. The part on Site#1 is setup as an intersite purchased part from Site#2 where the part is setup as Manufactured part and using standard labor costs. The PO and CO and Shop ordes are processed properly.But the costs we captured in Manufacturing with raw materials and labor time are only on Site#2. Is there a process that will update the price on Site#1 when the PO is received with the cost value from Site#2?We currently have to manually update pricing on Site#1. Thank you
