IFS Solutions

Hi there. I’m seeking the solution to below scenario. If you have any experience in this area I’ll be grateful for guidance and support how to proceed in IFS. In the UK we are allowed to become VAT registered and claim VAT back on 6 months of purchase invoices on services. However, we need to put in these invoices now for our quarterly reporting. How to manage it in IFS to acquire proper tax transactions and reporting? Will it be possible to change past invoices VAT amount, to claim these back when VAT registered? Currently we’d like to register and proceed those invoices with “no tax’ tax code, but how to manage VAT after 6 months then? Shall we use any dedicated tax code with specific configuration for such purposes?Thanks in advance for any tips.Karolina 

Hi,IFS Cloud 24R2. We have main warehouse and secondary (department) ware house. In maintenance secondary warehouse is alway used to issue materials. But reservation happens on main warehouse instead of secondary warehouse. Is there a way to set up reservation default warehouse for maintenance?Availability control doesn’t help.Thanks in advance.

Hello,We are currently using IFS Applications 10.During data migration, we manually entered quantities in the Receive Inventory Part window to update stock for various parts. However, by mistake, we increased the quantity for a wrong part.Could anyone please guide us on the correct steps or process to reverse or correct the wrongly added inventory quantity?

Is there a way to prevent creating a new sales contract for an inactive customer? Backgrond: Currently it’s possible to set the customer on ‘credit blocked’ and once you create a new sales contract  a warning message pops up (but you can continue), but actually we want an error message to ensure a new sales contract for this customer can not be created. With the help of a custom even action it’s possible, but would be nice if this was standard functionality. Kind regardsLars  

Customer is having IFS cloud hosted remotley on Prem server.  We are able to use IFS MWO desktop windows app but can’t use that app from mobile phones. It thows error “Something went wrong while tryingt o communicate with the server. Please check the connection and Server URL”. IFS MWO Service Classic uses Entra based login from microsoft via login.microsoftonline.com. We use Application proxy to facilitate pre-authentication to services we use proxy for, in this case onprem installation of IFS cloud in a kubernetes cluster.  From what we can tell the applications do not support claiming authentication before contact is intiated with the service URL of the cluster.  Can this be solved in any other way before it initiates the contact with service URL of the cluster ?   

Each month, when we create a new period version for each of our product families in Sales and Operations Planning the Old forecast and the New forecast column always match each other instead of the old forecast column pulling through data from the most recent period version… this doesn’t seem right and its a pretty useless column due to this, what could I be doing wrong? How do I correct this? It's worth noting that every new month we have to close the previous period version as it won’t let us create a new one if there is an existing one at ‘Approved’ Status…. this is also frustrating as we would like to be able to compare them. I have also seen that you can RMB in the header and copy from an old version BUT as soon as you copy in a new forecast/supply it overwrites this data - is this a bug?

Hi, I have a rental posting with error NOTBALANCED: This accounting is not balanced. This is for posting M217 - Rent In Accrued Cost Inv. I would expect to see M218 here, but doesnt look like that was created. I cannot view the associated Rental Transaction as when navigating through using the button, no data is found (which I havent seen before)Any ideas what causes this? or how I can trace this back? The only information from the line I can maybe use is the Project IDAny guidance would be appreciated

Hi1) Is it possible to assign separate directories to separate document classes on the SMB share? Currently we have the share \\Ifsc-mgt-cfg\DOC but e.g. when we wanted to assign another CLASS1 document class to the path \\Ifsc-mgt-cfg\DOC\CLASS1 (created directory on share) the file was saved in \\Ifsc-mgt-cfg\DOC - screen1, screen22) Files on SMB share are saved with random name (screen3). Where can we check or how can we check which file is the file assigned to a specific document revisionregards Daniel

Hi, we are on Apps10 update 20.  We unapproved all the custom fields and unpublished them from shop order statistics yesterday due to some errors in the unneeded custom fields in that screen.  That worked fine, but today we are getting errors on a number of our custom fields in operation statistics (ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.OPERATION_STATISTIC_CFP").  Some of the custom fields have the same name as in SO statistics, but does anyone know why unpublishing fields from one page would cause errors in another?   Should we have cleared some caches or something after we unpublished?Thanks-Mary

Hi there,we are facing a big problem regarding the upgrade of IFS cloud from 21R2 to 22R1:The error is:PS C:\GIT\customer-solution> git checkout --theirs *No solution in Documentation: I will remove the Problematic files with git rm *fileName*:git rm fltpln/test/fltpln/database/FltAircraftTemp.plsvtgit rm fltpln/test/fltpln/database/FltAircraftWi.plsvtgit rm fltpln/test/fltpln/database/FltTrackStg.plsvtgit rm fltpln/test/fltpln/database/FltTrackWi.plsvtgit rm fndmig/test/fndmig/database/ExecuteJobHandling.plsvtgit rm inttst/test/inttst/5.28.10.3/EnterParameter/util/EnterParameter.mkdgit rm inttst/test/inttst/5.28.10.3/EnterTestPoint/util/EnterTestPoint.mkdgit rm inttst/test/inttst/5.28.10.4/DefineSafeAccess/util/DefineSafeAccess.mkdgit rm inttst/test/inttst/5.28.10.4/SpreadSafeAccess/util/SpreadSafeAccess.mkdgit rm inttst/test/inttst/5.28.10.7/ConnectCustomerToObject/util/ConnectCustomerToObject.mkdgit rm inttst/test/inttst/5.28.9.3/ChangeOperationalStatus/util/ChangeOperationalStat

Hi,I'm working on the IFS' service to expose some LU's data to the outside world. For implementation I'm using fragment, projection and utility. Of course - as it is during implementation - there are lots of model changes, utility changes and complications. I've noticed that an ORA-21700 (object does not exist or is marked for delete) error appears quite often when calling the service's function (both from Postman and from the Chrome browser). Sometimes it helps to drop the projection's SVC package and its body and compile it once again. Error occurs even before the function's implementation is called. I've analyzed server's log and in odata POD's log I've found that ORA-21700 occurs when trying to execute following select statement: SELECT PROPOSAL_ID, ENG_ATTRIBUTE, DESCRIPTION FROM TABLE(L_Inv_Part_Cfg_Service_SVC.Rd_Query_Proposal_Characteristic_Additional_Tmplts(?, unbound## => '')) my projection is called LInvPartCfgService and function is defined as follows:function QueryProp

We are looking for the IFS tool that allows us to export all installed BODs (Bills of Delivery) from our actual/production IFS Applications 10 environment, and then import them into a new instance of the same application that we have set up on a VMware machine.Kindly guide us on which specific tool or method should be used for this purpose.

Hello all, I am hoping to have some elements clarified as it related to lead time calculation and MRP for IFS Purchased Parts. On the inventory part record, the Purchasing Lead Time is calculated using the Calculate Purchase Leadtime, which takes several elements into consideration (supplier manufacturing lead time, external transport lead time, internal transport lead time, and internal inspection lead time). If this is not run, the field is blank, or a value can be entered. This seems to indicate the MRP uses the value in here for POR planning? Would this then mean that the Supplier Manufacturing Lead Time on the SFPP is not used for MRP? If the Purchasing Lead Time is left at 0 or no value is entered, would MRP default to using the SFPP leadtime?In this example, the PLT is set to 0 and SFPP record is set to 15 days. When MRP runs, would it default to 15 days even if there was a transport leadtime of 2 days? 

We use certain material to start up a production run, for example, on a mold setup we use a purging compound to clean out the molding machine for a resin change.  What is the best method for capturing the material at the start of a production run where the run size can vary from 10-20 pcs to 1000-5000 pcs yet the usage is material constant?  The intent is for the material to be picked up thru MRP and get ordered as needed rather than manually tracked and ordered.

Hi All,One of our clients needs to use push notifications in MWO to use only for certain events only such as priority 1 assignment. They don't want to receive default notifications such as new assignment and pool work. Is there a way to disable default notifications (new assignment, pool work)? As I experienced, we can only enable/disable push notifications feature completely.  TIA.

How can I copy a Customer Order to a different site? All parts are setup on both sites. The menu option does not allow a different site, is there any way to copy orders to another site.  

We are needing to change the price that we invoice for on consignment items as our pricing fluctuates each month. The scenario is: We send 100 consignment parts to the customer on May 15th - These were against a customer order and price of $1.00 each. The customer consumes them on June 15th - The new price for their item in June is $1.10 When we invoice them, it is going against the original customer order at time of shipment ($1.00 each) We tried updating the customer order pricing before consuming out of consignment but it still pulls the pricing at time of shipment  Anyone else doing this and any ideas on how to handle?
