Hello IFS Community,In previous versions of IFS, specifically IFS9 and IFS10, I was able to generate the knownhosts.txt file using a command like the one below:java -cp C:\IFS\jars\ifs-fnd-connect.jar;C:\IFS\jars\jsch-0.2.17.jar ifs.fnd.connect.ftp.SftpClient -CreateKnownHosts=c:\ifs\knownhosts.txt -hostname=vvvvvv -username=vvvvvv -password=vvvvvvv One key difference I’ve noticed now is that, in the past, the paths in the command referenced JAR files located in the IFS Home directory, specifically under the repository folder.However, in IFS Cloud 24 R1, there is no IFS Home directory, and consequently, the repository folder containing these JAR files no longer exists. This creates a challenge because when I attempt to run the same command using -cp, I receive the following error message: 

Hi Experts,I have a basic question regarding generating Excel file output from IFS Cloud table data.We’ve already developed a customization that writes the table data into a CSV file using a CLOB and the Plsqlap_Server_API.Post_Outbound_Message method.Now, there’s a new requirement to generate the output in Excel (.xlsx) format instead of CSV. Since I’m still new to IFS Cloud framework and integrations, I’d like to check whether this is achievable through a customization or if there’s a standard out-of-the-box (OOTB) way to handle this.Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

We’re working with a client in the Medical Equipment Industry who need Quality Management in their solution. However with Control Plans, this requires us to define in the Acceptance Sampling Parameters which ISO Standards are to be used.There are 3 predefined as values within the system:ISO 2859-3:2005, ISO 2859-1:1999, ISO 3951-2:2013However the client insists that they also use ISO 13485:2016, but we can find no way of including this can anyone suggest a way in which we can get this added?

I am trying to create a report to show the number of activities that are being manually committed to resources compared to activities that are auto scheduled by PSO but am struggling to locate the table and field in the Schedule Archiving Service.

Hi Experts, Could someone explain this?How to create tool/eqp for use checked in and checked out functionality What is the functionality for check out status How to use this functionality in work orders What is the meaning of checked out and checked in for a toolRegards,Thilina

We have raw materials that are used for multiple customers. When we qualify a new supplier our customers have to approve those suppliers which can take 3-6 months. Is there standard functionality that can prevent a raw material item from being used for a specific finished good item but allow it to continue being used for a different finished good? All our finished goods are unique custom part numbers. Example:Raw material part # 123 is used in end customer items #456 & #789. I am qualifying a new supplier for part #123. The customer for #456 has approved the supplier but the customer for #789 has not.  I realize I can have all that raw material from the new supplier come into inspect and have availability controls but I am trying to avoid having to manually release it every time for the customer who has approved it or creating new part numbers. I just want the system to not allow us to consume it for item #789.

Hello everyone,In PSO, we have two different datasets: one running on IFS Cloud and the other on the ARP file. We have created a profile for each dataset.However, when I change the parameters for a specific dataset, PSO applies the parameters from the default profile instead of the assigned profile. The profiles have been correctly assigned to the respective scheduling dataset.  Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Regards - Anastasiya

I’m in our Italian entity.We place a customer order to a customer in France with Direct delivery from our supplier in Poland. A classic Triangulation with Italy as a middleman. The goods are sent from the Polish supplier to directly to our French customer without passing the Italian border.In a standard Intrastat solution this should not be reported in the Intrastat report neither acquisitions or deliveries. According to Italy they are referring to the following rule:UE1 vende al promotore ITA che vende a UE2 - Merce va da UE1 a UE2 - Trasporto a cura di UE1ITA riceve Ft da UE1 N.I. e la integraITA fa Ft N.I. art. 41 designando debitore di Iva UE2ITA Si Intrastat Acquisti e Cessioniand Article 40© DL 331/93 Application saying that :Article 40(c) of DL 331/93 allows the Italian company to avoid Italian VAT on the transaction, as the goods are being delivered from Poland

Hi AllSeeking guidance here. I am setting up an approval template in the document revision and I added a user to approve the document. But this user only granted the DOCUMENT_ATTACHMENT_CLOUD permission set. Once I start the approval, this user can view the document but he cant approve the document and I get below error. I am just thinking do I need to grant any additional permission to these users who are doing document approvals? I dont think we need to grant Doc Admin permission for these approvers as I dont want approvers to see other documents and document revisions.Any suggestions please?Thanks,Chamath

HiIs it possible to schedule the Update of payment status on Acknowledge Supplier Payments by using a Database Task?I am not able to find a suitable task for it. Best Regards Brian 

When using the APB, it appears to be ignoring the “Queue Time” field on Shop Order Operations when performing a reschedule. Is it true that this field is not considered when the APB schedules operations?The APB will determine and insert a “CBS Queue Time” when it [re]schedules based on resource/labor constraints. However, we are seeing this CBS Queue Time does not appear to consider the [manually entered] “Queue Time” field on the shop order operation at all. We would like to use “Queue Time” in conjunction with the APB but are so far unsuccessful. If this field is not used/considered by the APB we may need another way to manually add queue time while also doing CBS via the APB. (It may be possible to use Transport Time as a possible alternative to Queue Time if the APB considers Transport Time…)

Hello everyone, I would like see what your thoughts are out there for Product Structures vs Recipe Structures in pertaining to Food Manufacturing. As a former customer and in consulting I have I’ve seen that companies start with recipes and then decide to use product structures instead. I see product structures as a simpler way to manage structures and better stream line IFS processes avoiding managing structures in two different places. Also, consider integrations to IFS (ex., Optiva).Let me know Pros and Cons.Thanks team!

Hello,As we began applying the Release Update 24R2, we noticed that a new component, WRKTSK, has been introduced as part of this release. Several APIs (entities, utilities, and enumerations) have been moved from the existing WO component to WRKTSK.We have customized approximately 30 APIs from this list, and now we need to uplift these APIs from WO to WRKTSK. Could you please advise on the best approach to carry out this task?While using the Impact Analyzer tool, we noticed that the results don't provide sufficient comparison details (screenshot attached for reference).Additionally, we are unable to find a way to download all the core files of 24R2 to analyze how the WRKTSK files have impacted our customizations.Has a

Where can we populate this information in the IFS?Today we thought to use WTT/PM Actions but no easy way to put the grease quantity and type.Is there any documentation about this specific request that can support us?
