We are experiencing approximately 5,656 SFTP connection attempts daily from IFS application to an external sftp server (AccessPay). The SFTP connection is always enabled and configured for bank reconciliations.Is this level of connection frequency typical for IFS Cloud environments? Is it normal for IFS Connect Reader to continuously connect to an external SFTP server to read files?

Hi All, We can create a BACS file (BACS.DAT) from ‘Supplier Payment Proposals’ screen.My question is, how to configure the application where BACS.DAT file is copied to a ftp location.Is there any specific screen in IFS where we can configure this?  

We received a weighted average costed part with a Supplier Invoice Consideration that is Transaction Based.  The wrong price was on the original PO and we sold the parts to a customer.  The Detailed Statistics screen is showing the sale price with the wrong cost field.  The PO cost was updated and the supplier invoice was posted and processed to reflect the change in price.  On the Inventory Transaction page, we can see the change in the costs and the appropriate accounting entries to reflect the change in the Cost of Good Sold account.  However, we run the Detailed Statistics nightly, and the invoice in question, has not had the cost updated as reflected in the journal entry.  Is there something we can do to update the Detail Statistics - Invoiced Sales data.  We export this data into a Power BI data warehouse to run reports and this one is not reflected correctly.

Hi,I’m planning to import App10 saved searches of the users into IFS cloud instance. As the formats are different in two versions, I want to de serialize the saved search conditions saved in the fndrr_client_profile_value of the app 10 database. They are currently serialized in to the xml tag <SERIALIZED_CONDITION>.Is there a way to de serialize and view these saved searches? I tried few options but nothing worked.ThanksRoshanga

I have a Global Code that has the code value and description. I want to be able to display both the code value and description. I understand I can have 2 initiative ID fields, 1 display the code value while the other displays the description, but how would the initiative description be written to the database?Is there a way to have a field populated based on a drop down in UI Designer? 

Is there an easy way to add all components from a manufacturing product structure to the produced parts of a disassembly one (same FG)? We are trying to disassemble a finish good completely into its components. The problem is that its has 80 components. Manually creating each disassembly component is pretty tedious. I tried to copy the rows over to the produced parts table from components; the items filled in but not the quantities and it wouldn’t let me save. 

Hi, Can you guys tell me, where the attached files are physically stored in the IFS. I want access the attached file location.   Thanks.

Problem:When you make a API GET, you might want to filter on a nested entity. When you do this with the camunda engine, you are just unable to. In my opinion it seems only logical to be able to use the filter, but it stays empty. Solution:Make it available. Doesn't seem like an out of the box enhancement, more of a design flaw honestly.

Hi IFS Community,I am exploring a way to automate procurement of component parts linked to a parent part when Order Point Planning (OPP) triggers a Purchase Requisition (PR) for the parent.Example Scenario:A parent part "Wheel" has a BOM with components like "Tire", "Rim", etc.When OPP triggers a PR for the "Wheel" (due to reaching its order point), I need the system to automatically generate PRs for its components (Tires, Rims) as well.Thanks in advance.

Hi AllI am trying to test the emailing of RFQ to share with suppliers. First I tried to email it myself.  However in the application messages, the following error appears and sending fails.   

Hi,we have one page word files. When we approve this document, we are taking a mistake “something went wrong in the call the application server when trying to get the file size” how can I fix it ?    

Hi,On Apps10 Enterprise Edition is it possible to auto-populate a custom field based upon what is inputted to another custom field?In the same way that when a customer ID is selected in the Project screen, the Customer Name is then auto-filled immediately (see below).I have a custom field that is a lookup; when it is clicked into by the user it brings up a lookup that searches for part numbers. When a part number is selected I want a second custom field to be populated with the default location of that part.Is this possible? I don’t think it is, only built-in IFS fields can do this but I want to confirm.Thanks you,  

is it possible to create a lobby to show missing timesheets, based on work hours and timesheets raised in period in IFS Cloud?

I am currently in the midst of testing the IFS Cloud IFS Connect Reader using SFTP. While I have conducted several successful tests with the known host file, I have encountered an issue when using the private key-public key pair. I am unsure whether this is a bug in the application or if someone has successfully used the private key to read an SFTP location via the IFSCloud Connect Reader. I would greatly appreciate any insights or comments on this matter.

Hello,We are on 24R1 and I enabled an object connection of EcoActionObjectConn and EcrObjectConn on the RoutingHead and DocIssue logical units. I’ve refreshed the object connection cache but when I go to the Change Request screen and into the object connection tab, I do see the RoutingHead LU but it does not seem to be pulling in a default drop down list of object keys. it’s the same story with the DocIssue LU.Is there a reason for this? It seems to work with the EngPartRevision LU. See image below.I just hope to get a better understanding if there’s something I potentially missed or if this is some sort of bug. Thank you.

Hi, I am currently having trouble with shortage handling in IFS Cloud. I’m trying to get the shortage notification to appear when I place a Customer Order in the scenario where there is no stock available to fulfill the order. I have enabled the Shortage Notification toggle on the Inventory Part and the Shortage Handling toggle on the Parameters for Supply Chain and Manufacturing page. I have checked to make sure there was no quantity on hand and also see the orders with shortages on the Handle Customer Order Shortages page. Is there anything I’m missing for this message to appear? Any help is appreciated!

Hello All, I have a question regarding the Supply Chain/Invoicing system in IFS that I cannot seem to find a solution for. A customer of ours has setup an online market place that they want us to start using to “shop” for better prices on component parts we buy for their products. Right now, we’re using IFS to generate PORs → POs → Arrival → Invoicing to satisfy demand and stock the components. However, they want us to be generation POs and invoices on their market place. I don’t see a way in IFS that this solution could be accomplished, as we would still have to generate a PO in our system and receive the stock in. We still need MRP to keep track of when we need parts. I had thought about putting in a $0 purchase order, but that would create a financial variance then that would need reconciled. I don’t believe this is something that could be addressed using VMI either. Not sure if anyone has come across this scenario before, but wanted to ask the community. Tha

Hello For the last 3 years we have issues when closing the IL. We are receiving the error message that parallel currency is not in balance and we are not able to create vouchers that are needed for audit. We can transfer the balance just not the create voucher function - We did have a fix that was to create a Q voucher posting to an SBAL account but we should not have to do this ?? We are on APPS 10 UPD 19 - All help gratefully received ! Many thanks in advance Paula 

I have been working for several months to upgrade our databases from 12c to 19c, but I am stuck on a particular issue that I cannot seem to resolve. I chose the manual method (expdp/impdp) as this is what is endorsed by IFS and recommended by the consultants. We get 2500+ errors during the import, most of which, the consultants stated can be ignored as they are 12c objects that are no longer in 19c, however, there are a handful of errors that reference our app owner and I feel they are related:Error during import:dbms_scheduler.enable('"PROCESS_ALL_PENDING"');COMMIT; END;ORA-39083: Object type PROCOBJ:""."RUN_JOB" failed to create with error:ORA-06550: line 8, column 265:PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not existUpon completion of the import phase, then installation of IFS, Batch Queues cannot be “Reinitialized” as they produce the error:"appowner".

Hello everyone,I would like to know what is the best use of the “Product family” field.The IFS standard description tells us that it is used “to group parts into product structures”. Does this mean that if I create a product family “A” that is also a finished item and associate it with this family, I can group all the semi-finished (manufactured) items that make it up? Also, in the help, they talk about grouping at level 0 in the master production plan. Can you explain this to me in detail?Thanks in advance
