We are experiencing performance issues with job cost calculation. We would be interested to know if we are unique in having the Job Cost Calculation take hours to process 20,000 - 30,000 transactions and if RnD could consider addressing the issue identified with the specific query described below. Detailed logging in a development environment has pin-pointed that half the time taken by the scheduled job opening this cursor:Job_Cost_Calculation_Util_API.Get_Emp_Std_Agreements___"get_rec"This cursor joins to 2 views (rate_agreement_detail_uiv and job_transaction_parameter_uiv) which both do expensive PIVOT WITHIN GROUP operations pivoting data from child parameter tables. Then this query takes the results of those pivoted views and tries to join to them in a complex filter. The job_transaction_parameter_uiv join is efficient because it uses transaction_id directly pushing the predicate into the view. However, the rate_agreement_detail_uiv join does full

I was wondering if anyone in this community is informed about the IFS vision for the roadmap regarding the old Silverlight interface of PSO? My best guess is that it will completly disappear, because Microsoft no longer supports Silverlight.If thats the case, then I wonder what will happen with the Automatic Planning feature which the Silverlight client has but the new UI does not have. At least not yet. Is it also coming to the new UI of PSO?The features ‘Rules’ and ‘Rule Collections’ are allready available in the new UI, which were constraints for the Automatic Planning feature. However in the last Relase Enhancements document, it is said that for example the 'Requirements’ feature will not be implemented in the new UI, which could also be defined as contraints for the Automatic Planning feature. So this suggest that Automatic Planning might not come back to the new UI. Is that the case? The Automatic Planning feature looks quit valuable for the overal solutio

Community, there are “Cost Center ID”  field in both Manufacturing Labor Class and Work Center window. See screenshot for both windows.My question is, if I had Cost Center ID entered in both below 2 windows, will this value be travelling to GL in the end? in other words, will it be showing up in the GL code string (Cost Centr)?  

Hello All,I have a customer that is working to implement SSCC. Today they track and print SSCC with the included “Application Identifier (00)”.In the SSCC Setup in IFS it does not appear to be a solution to include the “00” prefix as shown below. Thoughts? Thank you,Alex

HiWe are currently connecting end user permission sets directly to users.We are planning to change that into connecting the permission sets to User Group so that users will get indirect Access instead. We think this would be a more smooth solution and our configuration context mappings are already done against user Groups (USERGROUP). However, we find that it is possible to delete a User Group even if it has users or permission sets connected to it. We find that a bit disturbing as it could potentially remove permissions from a thousand users in one small mistake.We can probably fix this by removing permissions to delete User Groups, but we would like to get some views on wetter it is a good idea to connect permission set to User Group instead of direcly to the users? Also views on if it would be a good idea for improvement to not do a delete cascade, but check restrictions when removing a user group and not allow removal if users or per

Hi, We have a new user and have set them up to view posting proposals but the multi company radial button doesn’t appear to be working.The user can get data in each individual company but the multi company doesn’t work.The user is configured in both Invoice Posting Authoriser and Invoice Payment Authoriser. They are configured as a super user and can see the data individually.I’ve confirmed it’s not a permission set issue but I can’t track down what alternative setting would cause this. ThanksHelen

When the third party generates the response file for an OUT file, an additional ‘.res’ file is also created, which they have no control over. This file is being read by the IFS application without any routing rule. Is there any way to ignore this in IFS Cloud? The file is not matching any available routing rule, and the application message fails as shown below.  Thanks & Regards,C.patabendi

Hi All,I added a persistent custom field to the entity CroHead as follows. And then added it to ‘Component Repair Order’ page with below LOV filter. But this does not filter ‘Cf Crm Contact’ using ‘Customer ID’ value. It’s ‘1000’ here. But it filters correctly if I change the filter as follows. Is there a way to get this filtered dynamically using the ‘Customer’ value?I went through previous community posts and F1 documentation as well but could not find a solution. It seems syntax has been changed in new cloud versions.I chec

Hi, Is there any link between Revenue Recognition Forecast and Project Forecast? I am wondering that, how Revenue Recognition Forecast updating would be more automatic instead of update POC % / Amounts manually each month / quarter? Thank you already!

I’ve had a request to add a custom sorting & grouping to the Shipment Packing List. I’ve gotten the fields to the report and have it sorted. How can I make a field visible only when it’s different than the prior row? Something like this pivot table from Excel is what is being requested.  

Hi Team,We often transfer a screen field value as a parameter to an operational report using Page Designer. Do you know if it is possible to format a date item into a different format, such as Oracle's "to_date","to_char" etc. Thank you.Although both the view field and report parameter are of date type, when I tried to transfer the screen value as the report's parameter and execute the report, the error shown below occurred. Instead, if a fixed value of '2025/2/1' or '2025-2-1' is set in the Action Parameter, the error disappears. Do you have any good ideas to share with me? Best Regards,Feng

EquipmentObjectMeasHandling.svc is used a lot by the customers to retrieve measurements through external systems. However, this API is a standard projection API and not suitable for integration purposes since there can be changes within API due to defect fixes and development. Therefore, it's quite useful to introduce a separate integration API to handle measurement insertions externally. From IFS Cloud 25R1 Release onwards, a new ObjectMeasurementService has been introduced with actions mentioned below.  Invoke action CreateMeasurementWithBusinessKeys : This action is used to create a measurements for an equipment object using Business keys (Contract, MchCode, TestPointId and ParameterCode). Invoke action CreateMeasurement : This action is used to create a measurements for an equipment object using Technical Keys (TestPntSeq, ParameterCode). Invoke action MarkReadingAsIncorrectWithBusinessKeys : This action is used to
