IFS Solutions

Hi All We are seeing that all the data that is exported from IFS into Excel is coming out as text rather then in the correct format, this issue was not present in apps10.My first thoughts is this because Apps10 was CSV rather then direct to Excel ?Does anyone know if it is possible to correct this somehow as many users are getting frustrated. 

We have received the below from a user - and i have tried to find any documentation in IFS help but unable to find anything relevant: for info : IFSADMIN login works the same as the user - is there a reason its greyed out but its accessible via a fudge? HelloI believe I should be able to access the Routing Lot size tab in the routings screen for the routing type ‘Repair’ as it can be accessed when using a Prototype or Manufacturing routing type: The tab is greyed out for the repair routing for 5067s for example: …but not on the Prototype or Manufacturing order types:  It is worth noting that I can actually get into the routing lot size tab on the repair routing type if I go into the tab on the prototype/,manufacturing routing first, leaving the screen on the routing lot size tab and then reselecting the repair order type from the drop down list of available routings for that part number…. It would be nicer/easier if it was just not greyed out though…. 

Receiving the error “This customer order line is not valid for use on this RMA line.” when adding customer order line into an RMA.  Original customer order is Invoiced/Closed and not used on any other RMA.  Tried with both Customer order and Shipment ID options but the result is same.   Any idea why this is happening? Note : This is order specific error. 

Hello,I would need to pass OUT attribute from procedure as input for Insert to view.Situation:First method in Method list - C_COPY_SOURCE_ORDER_UTIL_API.Execute_Copy_Source_Order - there is one OUT attribute - in procedure statement it is like:...   C_COPY_SOURCE_ORDER_UTIL_API.EXECUTE_COPY_SOURCE_ORDER(      ifs_order_id_,      new_ifs_order_id_);   --   Client_SYS.Add_To_Attr('NEW_IFS_ORDER_ID_',new_ifs_order_id_,attr_);…I need to pass NEW_IFS_ORDER_ID_ attribute (ID of record created by procedure) as input attribute for “New” (Insert) to view in second row of Method list (this is not related view with procedure in first step - I need only store that ID there).I tried to find some help in documentation, but I was not successful.Could anyone help? Thanks. 

All,I have been working on a success engagement with a customer who wants to do their ABC analysis in a manner different from the standard way IFS calculates it. The standard method is based on the sales transactions but if you have high volume items that are in stock and not yet sold (large engine assemblies that are infrequently sold) or low value but high-volume items (such as fasteners that can be replenished in days), the standard method may result in false settings. The current calculation does not have any consideration of the items' lead times.The customer would rather set the value of the items to set the ABC class based on their value rather than the sales amount.Has anyone encountered this dilemma before and if so, how did you handle it? We COULD use an external script to do this evaluation, so I'd appreciate your guidance on this! Thanks!

I have a ticket in with IFS about this issue at the moment but I also wanted to post it out here to let everyone else know that this is occurring in cloud today. On the IPAP screen there is a column called “projected quantity”. In the past, if you filtered the list on the “all” tab, projected qty would update based off of the available qty - the qty required for the specific order/filter applied. This was the logic in 10 at least. In cloud this does not happen and our buyers almost bought more material because the filter that’s being applied was not recalculating the projected qty.We regularly filter out MRP messages and won’t do the type of filtering that I’m doing below but the reason for filtering out the MRP messages is because it’s just a suggestion, we may move those orders around. The only way to remove the MRP messages from cloud is to delete the messages which we also don’t want to do.Please see my screenshots. IEE previous line projected qty minus demand = current line projec

In Business Opportunity Pipeline Chart, you can apply filters and generate the filtered list of Business Opportunities below the chart. I can enable editing of the Business Opportunities list on this page, but any changes do not flow to the actual Business Opportunities. Is it possible to link these?Ideally, we’d like to conduct cadence calls using this screen and edit the Business Opportunities at the same time.Thanks!

How to bulk edit Business Opportunities in IFS Cloud:Navigate to Business Opportunities and open Page Designer Under OpportunityOverviewPage, expand Content and select Business Opportunities list Scroll down to Opportunities List details and enable Crudactions Under Crudactions, enable EditAny updates made to Business Opportunities will update the Business Opportunity. However, you can skip sales process stages on Business Opportunities and the skipped stages will not close on Business Opportunity. I haven’t found a solution to this yet.

Following a go live onto IFS Apps 10 for a part of our business that uses composite (mixed goods) tax codes we are experiencing issues with our Tax Proposal process.  Due to the number of tax codes set up (approx 2000 codes ranging from UK0000 to UK2000) the standard UK Vat Return template (S089) was amended to use selection based on Tax Subgroups.Up until this point the tax proposal was completing and capturing all tax transactions for the period specified.Since this change and the increased number of transactions the tax proposal includes transactions up to UK0567 and then stops.This leaves all other tax transactions unconnected to a tax proposal.  This happens regardless of the number of transactions (which varies from 58,000 to 143,000 per month).  We are currently running monthly tax proposals. This stop at the same tax code has happened consistently for several months.We have checked:Tax codes are mapped to the relevant tax subgroups (Tax template field control) Tax codes are map

A user created a request and managed to append the text '_2' to the numeric request_ID.The linked tables also have the complete request_ID '26981_2'.The request was probably created on the mobile.Is it possible that an index is appended due to a conflict of the ID?Is it possible for a user to manually overwrite the request_id?

A customer submits a service request for the inspection and repair of serialized equipment that has broken down at their site. The company logs the service request in IFS Cloud and assigns a technician to visit the customer's location. Upon inspection, the technician determines that the equipment cannot be repaired onsite and must be sent to the company's workshop for further repairs. At the workshop, the required materials are issued from inventory, and the technician records the time spent on repairs. Once the repairs are complete, the equipment is shipped back to the customer.The proposed solution involves creating a customer order linked to the service request, which then generates a work order (WO). The supervisor assigns the work task to a technician, who visits the customer's location to inspect the equipment. The technician determines that the equipment cannot be repaired onsite, it is shipped to the company workshop for further repairs. However, I am uncertain about the best a

We use PSO for our Field Service team are considering using it within our Repair Centre to schedule machine refurbishment work. Initial tests seem to show this would work though there is one issue in that we would always have tasks running into a second day for all Repair Centre technicians.This led me to the article below which confirm PSO can handle this but FSM can’t. This post is three years old so I though it worth asking if this functionality was ever developed in FSM and if not, how are othere working around this limitation? Thanks,Barry

Hi All,I recently performed an upgrade installation for a customer using version 24R2, and the installation was completed successfully. However, when attempting to log in to the application for the first time, it displays the message: "Account is disabled. Contact your administrator."  I have checked the account status from the database, and the account is not active. I updated the status to active by modifying the FND_USER_TAB table. However, I still cannot log in to the application. I’d appreciate any guidance, best practices, or documentation links you could share on this topic.Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,i want to make a field editable when the state is diffrent Closed, but is not workingfor information i want to put it on a custom entity associated to business opportunity  do you have any idea why its not work ?Regards.

We’re trying to check that we’ve completed our organization structure and position access correctly,   We have an employee to think is setup correctly but when we look at My Employees from the Lobby, the field is blank.Is there a setting that we’re missing that controls whether or not “I” can see my employees?Thank you

Hi In PSO 6.11 how to set distance penalty in travel cost model?How can I see difference in workbench after distance  penalty is applied to particular resources?

Dear Community,We are currently using IFS 9 and have encountered an issue with the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) system regarding the visibility of semi-finished products. We have semi-finished products, such as PCB boards, that are repaired by our repair department. These products are then frozen in inaccessible locations to prevent them from being picked for production. As a planner, I do not want to see these incompatible pieces in my planning view, but I would like the MRP system to recognize them as available inventory. This is to avoid generating unnecessary demand and the need to order additional components for these products. I have created a new Availability Control ID “FROZEN(BLOCKED)” and set it as Nettable. However, the issue with making it Nettable is that these items are still visible to the planner, which I want to avoid.  We need a solution that allows the MRP system to see these semi-finished products as available inventory without generating additional demand.

Hi Community, I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I am using the AbsenceRegistrationAssistantHandling projection in Boomi and am building the Virtual Entity and then run the DoGenerateAbsence action, which works fine as I pass across details in the payload as normal.  When attempting to run the VrtAbsenceInformation_CleanupVirtualEntity action at the end of the process flow, I think I need to set the Connector Bound Entity Set Name and Bound Entity Set Parameters , which I am setting as below (taken from another community post). Bound Entity Set Name: VrtAbsenceInformationsBound Entity Set Parameters: Objkey='{objkey}'.  However when I run the process in test, I get a 404 error, so I must be doing something wrong somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions please?David.  

 Hi Community,While working on our ERP processes, I developed a PL/SQL function to simplify the creation of the attribute variable. Writing scripts can be time-consuming, especially when you creating an attribute like:client_sys.add_to_attr('PART_NO', 'TM-SERVER', attr_);Instead, in this way:p3_ VARCHAR2(32000) := 'PART_NO' || chr(31) || 'TM-SERVER' || chr(30);We can significantly reduce the time and effort required to prepare scripts with the function below. FUNCTION generate_attr_script(p3_ IN VARCHAR2) RETURN CLOB IS output_ CLOB := ''; line_ VARCHAR2(32000); key_ VARCHAR2(200); value_ VARCHAR2(200); pos_ INTEGER; input_ VARCHAR2(32000);BEGIN input_ := p3_; WHILE instr(input_, chr(30)) > 0 LOOP line_ := substr(input_, 1, instr(input_, chr(30)) - 1); pos_ := instr(line_, chr(31)); key_ := substr(line_, 1, pos_ - 1); value_ := substr(line_, pos_ + 1); output_ := output_ || 'client_sys.add_to_attr(''' || key_ || ''', ''' || value_ || ''', attr_);' || chr(10);

I know the installation script can grab ACPs from a folder location, but this requires downtime.I know the Aurena GUI application can accept ACP ZIP files, but doing this in a web browser requires a mouse and can’t be scripted. When deploying a lot of ACPs, it’s too easy to miss one. I’d like a process for deploying ACPs in a brutally repeatable fashion (i.e. scripted) without causing end user downtime. So far, I figured out I can POST to this entity set to create a new object:AppConfigPackageHandling.svc/AppConfigPackageVirtualSet This gives me the Objkey to use for GET requests:AppConfigPackageHandling.svc/AppConfigPackageVirtualSet(Objkey='0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF') I can’t figure out how to build the correct payload for this PATCH request. The debug consoles in Chrome and Firefox aren’t showing me the request payload. What payload does this ImportFile request need? AppConfigPackageHandling.svc/AppConfigPackageVirtualSet(Objkey='0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF')/ImportFile

Hi All,We are using apps 10 and need to Migrate Inventory Parts with revisions set at 2 or higher. When we tested this the migration worked however in each case it created a Revision 1 as well as the revision we wanted. As an example we migrated a Part with revision 5, and it created a revision 1 and a revision 5.Is there a way to overcome this and only have the revisions required. Thanks and Merry Christmas

Hi IFS,There is a rumour that IFS migration tool will be removed from future IFS Cloud versions . Could someone verify this ? If yes, would you be able to share the timeline ? Thank you,Rohana.
