Dear experts,We are in the process to implement Project Budget (Forecast) functionality for one of our client who is in Project based manufacturing business.I understand that Project Budget functionality only controls Procurement related transactions against a pre-defined active budget, however, system is not checking Project budget for Purchase Order/Purchase Requisitions generating for outside operation on Shop Order releasing.Though, system properly updating Planned Committed Cost, Committed Cost for Shop Order but not updating Purchase Order related cost on project.Not sure whether I am missing some setup.​@Marcel.Ausan  ​@Buddhika Kurera ​@matt.watters 

I have a shop order that I want to unissue, but I’m getting the following error.  Furthermore, if I try to reverse the quantity shipped for an external operation, I’m encountering the following error.  

Hello,Our DBA was running diagnostics on our production database server using sql-constanctcare and it identified the following db tables that would benefit from having the indexes identified below created.  Because these are PSO databases, I wanted to get confirmation that this would be a recommended action to take.Please advise.Tool Used:https://www.brentozar.com/sql-constantcare/USE [SchedulingSystem]; CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [message_group_id] ON [dbo].[Message] ([message_group_id]);USE [ResourcePlanning]; CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [organisation_id_dataset_id_ram_update_type_id] ON [dbo].[RAM_Update] ([organisation_id], [dataset_id], [ram_update_type_id]);USE [Scheduling]; CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [organisation_id_dataset_id_delete_flag_activity_id_input_reference_internal_id] ON [dbo].[Activity_Custom_URL] ([organisation_id], [dataset_id], [delete_flag], [activity_id], [input_reference_internal_id]);USE [Scheduling]; CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [organisation_id_dataset_id_delete_

Hello everyone,I have a nested cutom entity under ProductStructureComponent :  I want that when I delete a Product Structure Component line, the nested entity lines linked are also removed. Do you know a way to do that ? I tried using a workflow but wouldn’t manage to trigger the workflow on ProductStructureComponentArray line removal. If using a workflow is the only way to delete associated records, can you let me know what projection or event can I use to trigger it please ? Thank you

Hi,We are currently running IFS apps 10 Update 23 and are looking at moving more of our custom integrations to REST API’s. When you create a new custom field in IFS a cfp / cfv / cft is automatically created in the oracle database. I have an integration method that updates a custom field on distribution order. If I try to use the standard modify call (distribution_order_api.modify__) this will not work if the DO is closed. If I use the cfp.modify__ this will work OK in oracle.The issue I have is that I cannot see a way of calling cfp through a REST API.Is there a way I can do this? Or if not is there a way I can update a field on a DO if the DO is closed using REST without somehow re-opening the DO?Many Thanks,Dan

Hi all,I’m trying to GET the content of a Quick Report using the REST APIs. I can see the endpoints in API Explorer; but when I make the request in Postman, although the status code is 200, the payload is an empty array (see image).I’ve tried this with a couple of different endpoints:https://.../projection/v1/QuickReports.svc/QuickReport_36969() https://.../projection/v1/QuickReport36969.svc/VirtualOrderSqlReportsBoth give the same result. I’ve also tried with a couple of other Quick Reports - it’s not just that one.The endpoints are showing as ‘Active’ in API Explorer (and presumably I’d get an error if they weren’t anyway). Is there something else I need to do to ‘activate’ the APIs? The Quick Reports themselves are generated from an SQL statement, if that makes a difference (and to confirm - if I view the report directly, there is plenty of data to see!). 

Can someone point me to the location of the 24R2 Data Migration Manager Project Template file?

Is it needed to keep the ifsadmin account active in an IFS Cloud installation? After customer has setup users that has admin access, they want to disable it. Do we need to also remove this entry from the yaml file then, or is the account needed from the pods for some reason?This is a Remote Deployment.

Hi,I have setup an object connection transformation to transfer documents from Training Participant page to Training History page of the Employee file. I have tested the transformation and it didn’t show any errors but attachments are not moving automatically.    Anything else I need to check here that I have missed? /Indika

My customer is using IFS Cloud 23R2 SU10and the error,Error stack:Uncaught (in promise): r0: {"headers":{"normalizedNames{},"lazyUpdate":null}, “status":500," statusText":"Internal Server Error"is encountered when trying to generate/ export one quick report. Sometimes, the report does not contain any records when generated (whereas the same parameters result in several records when executed in the backend) or the frontend displays a less number of records than the backend or a client error when trying the export the records.This issue only happens with one of the sites and the report does not have any issue when working with the other sites. Therefore, I suspect that this might be a data issue related to the site the customer is having the issue with.Could someone please help with how to narrow down/ the next steps?Thanks in advance!

Hi All, Looking for your thoughts in here. My client wants to have an acknowledgement step to the project manager in the Purchase requisition.I have set up an “Authorization Routing Template” with a project role for PM and role as “Acknowledger”.  Created PR authorization rule as below. This rule is only applicable to Project connected PR s only. Rule will trigger for the PR s between GBP 11-250.  I set up the PM in the Purchase authorization basic data window as an Acknowledger as well. But when I create a PR with a project connection ( which include the Project manager), and when I try to release the PR it gives me below error.  Interesting thing is, when I change the “Authorization Role” to Authorizer in the Approval routing template as an Authorizer and then change the purchase authorizer basic data PM to Authorizer, PR is taking the correct authorization step. BUT this time its an Authorization instead of Acknowledgement. Could this be a bug? Or did I miss something.Any help is hi

We have an integration where an XML document is received from the customer, data is extracted from  the document and new records inserted into the database.Is there anyone who could provide instructions to convert this integration to IFS Cloud?

I want to filter inventory locations based on site/contract in the manufacturing tools → tool instance. I have created a custom LOV attribute for location and added it to the page. I was also able to create a filter based on a hard coded site/contract value and this works.But I want to pass the site/contract value listed in the tool instances tab to filter Inventory locations.I need help to figure out the syntax to pass the site value to the filter. Please let me know.

Hello IFS SpecialistsOne of our project controllers tried to change the activity sequence in the demand line because he had initially created the project supply request in the wrong activity. The requisition is still in the planned state. So in my opinion, he should be able to change the activity in IFS for the requestion as shown [My testing doesn't recreate the error so far] but getting the shown error. He could use a workaround like deleting the requisition and proceed. But I am wondering why this way isn't working. The screenshot is from an IFS Ref environment [24.1.3]  Thanks,Asela

Hi IFS folks,we started piloting of Notify me mobile app with IFS Cloud 23R2 (remote deployment) and I would like to share our experience here so far.The high level message is that the app works and it does the job, so pls. consider this as a customer feedback to IFS(or rather mix of tips and hints) to improve this app further and fascinate the target user group. We'd be happy to collaborate further on improvement ideas.1. Infrastructure PerspectiveSetup Infrastructure/IFS Configurationtechnical documentation is quite good and containing a lot of fragmented info however might be even more appreciated if containing a practical step by step user guide with screenshots to make the mobile apps working for managed cloud and/or remote deployment, something like: “To make mobile apps working on remote deployment you need: Public or VPN access to your IFS installation Setup Azure Identity provider (if you want to use Single Sing On) Enable IAM clients Activate Native pods on MTS (if not by

Hello,In our company  invoices dated January 2, 2025 were issued using the old numbering series (e.g., 2-024000614, 2024000622). Once we added the correct 2025 series, the numbering continued from the old sequence, causing the new invoices to start with numbers like 2025000623 (in the INVOICE_NO field of the INVOICE table).Is it possible to safely adjust the numbering in this situation? Would updating the INVOICE_NO field be a safe solution?How can I correct invoice series number?

This is for IFS APPS 9.  We have just had to move our Demand Plan server from one physical server to another.   The Windows service is running fine.   I log in and I see in the Demand Plan Server  routine under TAB Server Dashboard, the new server running… green light, and the correct Host: NXIFSDB9.NXSTAGE.COM.     Every other user still sees the old server.   I have asked them to log out, reboot their laptops and come back in, and they all still see the old server host.    What do I need to do to get all of the other users to see the new Demand Plan server?    Thanks!  

 To migrate data specifically for custom fields, follow the steps outlined below. After experimenting with multiple approaches, I have identified the most effective method for transferring data into custom fields. I hope this guide helps some of you resolve your challenges. As usual, you need to create two migration jobs:File Migration (CREATE_TABLE_FROM_FILE)Create the migration job in the standard manner. There are no special steps to follow for this process. Reference for creating a file migration job: Create File Migration Job.Here is the File Migration job created for this scenario, which you can use as a sample reference: Source Migration (MIGRATE_SOURCE_DATA)In this scenario, we are trying to migrate data into two custom fields created for the Part Window. The key identifier for this migration is the Part Number (PART_NO).In the CSV (Excel) file, three columns are defined as follows: Create the Migration Job:In the Database Information section, include both the migrated file tab

I have a user on my team that, when opening an EXCEL_MIGRATION job on a spreadsheet, gets the results where the “Result Column” is created but left outside the Excel Table, like this: odd results from the user In spite of that, if I do exactly the same steps this executing, I end up with a table where the “Result Column” is included: it works for meAt first I thought something was wrong with the Job configuration, but having confirmed this cannot be replicated in my computer (and it also worked fine for a 3rd user who tried it...) I am more inclined to believe this is an Excel issue on this user’s machine. Has anybody experienced this behavior, and if so, can you tell me what can be causing this? Thanks!
