Hi,In IFS Cloud Dispatch Console, is there functionality to assign multiple work tasks/ assignments to a Crew simultaneously, either via drag-and-drop or direct assignment?We are managing numerous similar tasks that need to be dispatched to a Crew efficiently. Additionally, assignments are expected to be handled individually within MWO for reporting.Bundle Tasks in 23R2 does not meet this requirement, as it lacks the necessary MWO functionality.

Hi All, I have recently created some cost buckets for inventory parts relating to different product families. However when testing, I’ve found that one of the cost buckets still has parts in it that relate to the wrong product family. This is doubling up the cost when calculating the standard cost. I cannot see anywhere how I can remove the part from the cost bucket. I can’t delete the cost bucket and start over, either.  Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone have any suggestions please?Thank you, John 

Hello,We are trying to implement standard costing in IFS Cloud.We have created different cost templates for our different product families, each with their own sets of Cost Buckets and Cost Elements. It is set up this way because the different products absorb different amounts of overhead.The different overhead Cost Elements have been set up as percentages of 110 – Estimated Material Cost, in line with our costing model.Cost Elements with absorption ratesCost BucketsCost Templates

We switch from IFS10 to IFS Cloud and are still testing IFS Cloud (currect 24R2).When we try to create a new Customer with Category Customer the system does not allow us to do so. When we try to create a new Customer with Category another category we can save the created customer. Where in IFS Cloud is the setup, that we cannot create a new customer with Category “Customer”? 

We have a customer experiencing an issue with MWO Service Notes on iOS that is not happening on AndroidAndroid – The Note display area expands to display the entire text and, once the entire screen is filled, it becomes scrollable. This allows the greatest possible visibility given the size of the device.iOS – The note only displays within a box with no outline, and the only way to read it is to scroll the text within that small box. This makes it easy to miss content and not get the full scope of work.These notes are used extensively to communicate scope of work and actions performed between the field and the office. The limited visibility of the notes on iPhones is a significant hinderance in being able to fully use these notes.The company policy is that field techs use iPhones to interact with the MWO. IFS is suggesting fixing this in 25R2.Product Version: 23R2.Has anyone else experienced this and have a so

 Hello,On the Go-live the Sales Contract is partially Invoiced with AFP.  For the migration of open AFP Invoices - can I use a standard STDCIN1 or STDCIN2 migration template?

Or is it better to re-generate all the AFP invoices issued before Go-live, to have the proper progress set on Sales contract Items (proper value of certified work and proper queue of AFP invoices?I’d appreciate any information.Kind RegardsBeata

Hi,We are currently using IFS Cloud 23R2 SU14 alongside the IFS MWO Service app, and was wondering if we were able to hide/remove the Initialize button from our engineers through page configuration or another means?We are finding our engineers are clicking this button despite numerous attempts to communicate and prevent this, as we are aware by clicking this button it will remove all transactions from the device which have yet to be sync to the back office. Appreciate any feedback or suggestions.Thanks
