IFS Solutions

Hi, Here a case regarding "weighted average" for parts in inter-site flow.We have weighted average + cost per part Inventory Part in inter-site flow.Source Site unit cost = 12.Destination Site unit cost = 10.When we ship units from source site to destination site, SHIPTRAN + INTORDTR transactions are created and immediately weighted average in destination site goes 11. Even though, the goods will be in transport for about 7 days. During those 7 days this part stored in destination site is sold/issued with the cost 11, what affects margin rates etc. So the moment of recalculation of weighted average (moment of shipment instead moment of arrival) is quite questionable.Is this intentional behavior? Or maybe some parameter exists? Regards, Lukasz

Is it possible to view a lobby element in Aurena with the default parameters null?I have created a lobby that opens with a parameter populated by default as the majority of the business needs to see the data with this particular filter. However,  there is one user who would like to view the lobby with no filters applied. The SQL conditions on the data source designer for the effected lobby elements are built so that a null value in the parameter would return the unfiltered data. In EE for IFS 10 and in Aurena, when I manually delete the default parameter value, it auto-populates when I hit return. I don’t seem to be able to delete the default value and leave it null. Is this possible, or do I need to redesign the SQL conditions so that the unfiltered data comes through when I change the parameter value to some other text? 

Hello all,We recently upgraded from 22.2.14 to 24.1.2.Our lobby datasources no longer work with a ‘DISTINCT’ in the column definition. They worked fine in 22R2. I tried adding a DISTINCT to a simple standard IFS datasource and it also did not work. All of the Queries seem to work fine in SQLDevelopper.Is DISTINCT no longer supported in datasource column definitions, or does it have to be implemented in a certain way? If so, what is the good implimentation method?Error message: Could not preview element. Make sure datasource is configured correctly and view is existing.Sample attached, but it could be any datasource.

Is there a limit to the number of Shop Orders that can be Reserved in one hit? Seems to be 120?   Is there any recommended alternative approach where we have more than 120 to reserve in one go? Thanks

Hi Team, We are currently using FSM Update 25 and we have noticed that the service visit history report comes in Landscape format instead of portrait can anyone confirm if this is FSM new feature. Thanks,Vikrant Singh.

We have instances where we need to change the inventory part number on a sales part after it has been saved and transactions are done. We cannot issue new sales part numbers every time we have new inventory parts because we have “printed” literature that shows our sales parts. So, we need the same sales part ID to remain, but connected to a different inventory part.In IFS applications 7, it was possible to change the Inventory part that was connected to a sales part in the “Sales Part” windowIn later versions, this possibility has been restricted, and the system was designed to maintain a one-to-many relationship between inventory parts and sales parts.Can you please specify the reason why this functionality was disabled after apps7? Can you suggest a workaround we can use in the above situation, instead of creating a new sales part?

Hello Community,I want to ask about this statement in IFS docs?Here is the link - https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r2/010_overview/020_high_level_architecture/ What are all the reasons behind this? Why build place must (or should?) not contain customer production data?Is it because of the data protection laws of the various countries? If yes, then how IFS manages this on use place environments like CFG, UAT which are sometimes accessible by consultants residing in different countries. Thanks in advance.

Good day.  Due to multiple approval levels on TR’s at our Customer, we are using a combination of the Travel Request Configuration and Approval Routings.  If first level Approval has been done based on the TR Configuration setup, but TR is Rejected on 2nd or 3rd level approval step via the Approval Routing, the status of the TR remains “Approved” (based on 1st level approval that was done). Any suggestions in this regard?Thank you.Anya

In IFS Cloud 24R1 UPD 5, Inventory Part has a classification called Product Category which is a drop-down list.  However, I could not find any basic data page where values can be added to Product Category. Couldn’t find any content in the IFS Product Documentation regarding this field and the Inventory Part page has no Field Description for it either.  Can someone help please?TIA

Hi, I’d like to suggest some enhancement for the very useful Quick Preview feature IFS Cloud offers for some files types when using Document Management.Currently, we can : Rotate Zoom in/out with a slider (with no real-time preview)I suggest 2 other functionnalities that would be more ergonomic to use, especially with touch devices :Zoom In and Zoom out buttons : zoom in or out by increment (10% ?) Full page : auto scale the document to display the full picture (if image) or full page (if PDF)    This would seriously increase the ergonomy to view some technical drawings in the Shop Floor Workbench screen for example.Best regards, Pierre

Have there been any instances in APP10 where a Mixed Payment transaction, entered under the 'Enter Supplier Payment' type with a payee identity and no invoice, was recorded as a park disbursement payment instead of in the Supplier Ledger?

Hi,We are in the process of implementing IFS and one of the concerns is a way to update (annually) through a migration process, the annual hourly rates of each employee in the organization. Whether it is union agreement driven, or annual merit increase.This would be a tedious task for any HR or payroll employee especially if you had ‘000s of employees.On that note why does IFS have an HCM (HRIS) module that does not calculate hourly rates automatically based on the salary of the employee and their # of hour profile? The push this hourly rate automatically into the JRM module or into the Specific rates for each employee. There needs to also be a migration tool for updating salary information. Henry

Hi all,All of our new Synchronization Tasks have been going to Posted state in both Service Engineer and ScanIt apps. The users can’t log in due to sync failing.

In IEE, we can see a posting tab that shows the posting line of the Manual Customer Invoice. On Preliminary Customer invoices, the Posting tab is important as it enables them to review and verify the posting information they have created before finally posting it. In Cloud I cannot find any posting details on a Manual Customer Invoice that is in Preliminary status.
