Hello, I have been exploring the new report studio functionality in IFS Cloud 24R2. I was trying to figure out how the dynamic signatures worked. I was able to utilize the Signature function but was hoping to dynamically change the signature based off a condition in Report Studio. In report designer, you were able to pull this in using a SQL statement but it seems to use a DB Image function instead? I tried using the DB Image() functionality but I keep printing blanks. My function syntax is this: DBImage('report_signatures','IMAGE' ,'image_name=IFS.jpg') My question is if I want to utilize the DBImage functionality, how could I use it for static data and columns within a report? For example, if I wanted to change the signature depending who is the salesperson on the customer. I feel like I may be missing something simple but I was hoping to get some direction on this. Thank you.
Hello everyone,I have a customer who is looking to implement Segtico Certificate to ensure that our auto-generated transactional emails (sent from no-reply@xxxxxx.com) are signed for authenticity using S/MIME.Could anyone point me to resources or documentation on how to integrate signing certificates into our email system? Specifically, we’re interested in best practices for setting this up with automated email workflows.Many thanks in advance!/ashley
Has anyone been asked by a customer that they want to use a WaDaCo transaction that allows them to manually reserve parts to be shipped to the customer order rather than use the automatic reservation oir manually reserve the customer order line. Thoughts??? We are drafting a CRIM spec to do this.

Dear Community, Apart my own doubts, I promised I’d find out.We would have very niche case, where single Work Order / Customer Order (with inventory parts too) would be needed to be shared between multiple (2 or more) customers. Like repair of shared assets.According to the users on Apps9 it was possible to do via Staged Billing, by sharing order to multiple line, invoicing first, and then changing the “invoice Customer” on actual customer order. Currently cloud (23R2) does not allow you to change invoicing customer on customer order when something has been invoiced. Found out doing it other way around by removing invoice customer works, but this seems to be unintended functionality. Is there other proper way to do this, instead of making multiple customer orders and using non-inventory part lines?If I recall correctly, something similar could be done on Sales Contract, but we do not have that module currently. -Toni

Hello,We currently have an issue where our IFS MWO Service app users are not returning their tasks from their mobile, they keep them in their Completed tasks tile which is storing 10-100+ tasks on their app.Is there a way to pull these tasks from their device as it’s causing issues with being able to close off the request/task?Thanks!
Hi Experts,There are many Completed work assignements in MWO, that engineers are not attending so we need to force close it. In this post it say the function will be implemented in 24R1. Could someone help me to find the exact location of doing this? I could not find it anywhere. Thank youKM

I'm hoping to get some insights from the community here. We're encountering random delays between the time a work order is assigned and when it's actually received on the service engineer's mobile app. These delays are inconsistent and can vary quite a bit.We've already tried several recommended troubleshooting steps, including:Increasing server resources Reconfiguring settings with higher max pool sizesUnfortunately, none of these have resolved the issue so far.We know that downloads only happen when the device is connected to data and powered on, and I can confirm that all these conditions are met—yet the delays persist.Has anyone else experienced something similar with Apps 10 UPD17? If so, what solutions or workarounds did you find that helped? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!
Hi Team,We are facing an issue in the FSM application. In the Escalation tab under the Task screen, the 'Minutes Open' field is supposed to update and reflect the total ON HOLD duration once the escalation is completed.However, for some tasks, this value is not updating.To identify the cause of this issue, we checked the business rules and found one rule where the 'Minutes Open' value is being updated. When we executed the script through XML Poster, we identified a configuration issue at the database table level. It was throwing an error because the decimal value limit was being exceeded. find the XML query for your reference<perform_batch> <sequential_dependent> <hierarchy_select result_name="escalation_result" return_only_requested_attrs="true"> <primary_table>escalation</primary_table> <attrs> <attr>escalation.esc_id</attr> <attr>escalation.created_dttm</attr> <attr>escalation.resolv
In IFS Cloud, when you create a child work order from a parent, the child is created with the customer no field blank. I assumed the child would inherit the parent’s connected customer. Is this how it’s supposed to work or is this a bug?
On Sales Quotation Line, I created a custom reference field called Product Structure that will display the Product Structure Revision No and Alternate No. The user is required to choose the correct Product Structure for the shop order as a means of communication to the order processing team.Right now, the LOV shows all product structures for all parts and the user has to manually filter the list based on the sales part. I want the LOV to default the Part_No filter to the Sales Part (CatalonNo) chosen on the OrderQuotationLine. I cannot find a good walkthrough online. Can anyone assist?

Changing document repository About this document The purpose of this document is to give you the knowledge needed to "manually" migrate files between document repositories. It's important to first understand how Docman keeps track of the files that is stored in IFS.Data model These are the entities involved when document files are stored and retrieved.Apart from just reading the below, it is a good idea to actually look at the contents of the database tables for the entities. Just by looking at the data in EdmFile and EdmLocation, together with the data in your repostitory, should give you a good idea on how things fit together.EdmFile (edm_file_tab) This is what we call the "file reference" of document / document revision. This entity is used to store the original file name as well as the file name in the document repository. Another important attribute is the storage location.Here are the most important attributes:FileName: This is the file name used in the repository / backend. It's
Hi Experts,I have a question relating to Lobbies and Permissions.When we initially connects a lobby to a permission set, it automatically adds the relevant elements in it. However, if we add new elements to the lobby after granting the permissions, the new ones won’t be added the permission set automatically. Therefore, users would get errors if they try to access them. To fix this we have 2 optionsAdd the new elements to the permissions set manually Remove the lobby from the permission set and add again. Both the options seem to be time consuming. Is there a better way of doing this? Thank You,Shehan Almeida.

Hello!I am struggling with absences in “Resource Monitoring Gantt”. Whereas a planned absence in any status in not visible - which is reasonable for me - absence request is not visible neither in “Approved” status nor in any other status. How is a manager supposed to plan with incomplete data? Or do I something wrong? Otherwise absence request approved by supervisor is in my point of view serious enough to be part of Resource Monitoring Gantt.How do you see this issue? Thank you in advance, best regardsb.d
Hi all,after plenty of reading and no direct solution I need to ask.How can I write Plan Travel fields (Customer requires Plan Travel Start and Plan Travel End) to IFS Cloud on to the Scheduling Allocation page.Idea was to setup a workflow and fetch those fields, but there is no proper connection handling to PSO in place in Cloud 25R1.Question, is there any documentation available to get PSO authorizied to Cloud? Only found an example to Okta. Found nothing for IFS_scheduling IAM though and haven’t seen ny further solution than User/Password here.Tested in Postman and everything works well here. Only issue there is no straight forward connection to PSO available in Cloud workflows. Topic PSO to IFS Cloud miles isn’t the desired solution as it is only meant for lobbies. Any idea how to handle custom queries to PSO easier? ThanksMarco
