I would appreciate it if someone could assist me with the steps or requirements to access the IFS Admin Tool (Installer GUI) for Apps 10.

Hello,Within the installation guide for PSO 6.15 using the “Deploying an Azure service using the IFS PSO Installer” method, is it possible to use an existing “Azure SQL managed instance” instead of an “Azure SQL Database”.  Our company only supports the use of  SQL managed instance.thanks

Is it possible to add a new Paper Format like A5, A3 ect.. in Report Definitions?   

New employee does not have access to workorders in time registration , and I can not find where to add the employee into maintenance. Can anyone tell me where the employee/employee number should be added , I guess in basic data somewhere. The employee is already added to a resource group which is “ticked on” for using in Maintenance, is added to site, company, etc… In timeregistration, only Project is available, and not workorders…. We are running IFS Cloud 23R2

Hello,I have a problem where my former coworker's name is automatically entered in the Coordinator field when I'm creating procurement orders, and I have to manually change it every time.I've seen multiple references to the "Sites per User" window as a place to fix this, but I can't find that in our IFS environment (IFS app 10).How can I set it up so that my own user is automatically entered as the coordinator when I perform procurement?Thank you in advance!  

Is a setting available that can include planned Purchase Requisitions as expected supply when calculating the ATP in in a customer Order Line? The MRP runs once a week and Purchase requisitions are not all followed up the first day. This results in customer order lines moved to a later date (when the availability check is set on the inventory part) as the purchase requisition dates are not considered.  

Hi, We have a requirement adding more object status for functional objects. In IFS APP 10 we have three fixed status set by IFS like “In Operation”, “Out of Operation” and “Scrapped”. IFS doesn’t have the option to add more status using administrative / regular users as like changing basic data. Please note that, now we are in process to move in IFS Cloud by next year from IFS APP10. I can understand, it’s a bit of customization required. My question is, if I requested to IFS for such change, does IFS require IFS core code modification ?  Thank you

Hello IFS Community, I have a question regarding Report Designer. I'm trying to add a custom field to the first page of a report, but it doesn't allow me to do so. Interestingly, I can add the same custom field without issues on the repeating pages. Has anyone encountered this behavior before? Is there a way to enable or work around this to display the custom field on the first page as well? Another quick question => Is there a way to hide the First Page from printing? I only want the Repeat Page to be printed.I tried right-clicking on the First Page and selecting 'Hide', but the report still prints the first page. Any guidance would be appreciated. 

I am using the Smart Data Manger concept in IFS Cloud, Navigation : Solution Manager > Data Management > Data Migration Manager > Project Basic Data  DB link is created from IFS Cloud db to fetch data from the Source (tried IFS Apps10 and from FSM Database)But in Project Basic Data - Under connected environment : Database link is listed only if the DB Link source is created from IFSMIG User (Tried both in IFS app10 and in FSM database)But IFSMIG Schema is introduced only from IFS Cloud versions, not available in Apps10 and obviously not available in FSM db, so how do we connect the legacy database of Apps10 or FSM DB?Need assistance on using Smart Data Manager for Data Migration task to fetch data from Apps10 or FSM db.Please confirm if this approach is possible using SDM  DATA Migration :IFS Cloud ← Data from IFS APPS10 or IFS Cloud ← Data from FSM DB

What is the impact of enabling the " Use Interim Cash Account when Cashing on Due Date" option?If my understanding is correct, this field is set to "YES", check remittances are posted to a temporary account; when set to "NO", they are posted directly to the cash account.However, since the posting type used is always PP28, I’m struggling to see the real operational difference.Could someone confirm if this understanding is accurate and clarify the use case for activating this option?

Hello all, We have been impacted by the US tariffs, as some of our supply chain is outside the US. I’ve been able to apply % to our Purchased Parts by using the Purchase Charge Type. This has worked well, however I am looking for an easy way to see the impact on the cost of these charges to the part. It appears the the cost of the material does not change when brought into stock with the charges applied. Is there a way in IFS (IFS Apps 10 UPD 22) to view the impact of charges like this to a part? If we’re buying something with a 25% tariff, our cost may be $100 + $25 per unit. However in IFS Cost, it will show as $100. I have looked through the help and on the forums, but have not found a way to view this impact. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, Where can I find documentation and examples for latest XML standard for Purchase order confirmation message? I have an example file from IFS 10 but I want to make sure I have the latest standard. thanksJohan   

Hi everyone,I'm currently facing an issue in the ifsapp9 environment where the IFS ConnectServer1 Windows service fails to stay running after a server reboot.When attempting to start the service manually via Windows Services, I receive the following message:---------------------------Services---------------------------The IFS ConnectServer1 IFSL (E:\IFS\IFSL) service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.---------------------------OK   ---------------------------I reviewed the ifsconnect.log file and found the following entries:Successfully connected to application server URL https://xxx.xxx-xxx.com:62020  Connected to system 'IFSL'  {FILE_READER1} Is started  {SM_CPQ_FILE_READER1} Is started  MessageSender.logMessage(): Error = Message of type 'NONE_XML' created from 'SM_CPQ_FILE_READER1' doesn't match any routing rule  ConnectorFramework.sendToErrorDir(): Message is moved to error_files/  [Err

Good morning,Recently our middletier where the prod environment works required a reboot because all services crashed. It is installed on ubuntu linux. Commands from the server mgmt, e.g. kubectl, reported no communication with kubernetes.Is it recommended to reboot the middletier periodically? If so, is there technical documentation for this?

Hi everyone,we've noticed that the time shown in the header of the Pool Tasks differs by two hours. I’ve double-checked the time zone settings on my laptop, and they are correct. The scheduled start time is also displayed accurately. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this discrepancy?  Thank you!

Hi We are trying to find the best way to utilize IFS Non Conformance Report for working according to the 8D-method. This is standard in the automotive industri and we are obliged to document according to this method. Has anyone else done this and found best practice for this in IFS? We are thinking of a couple of alternatives: Create one action in the NCR, then create/process one CAPA for this but it doesn´t cover all the 8 steps. Create 8 actions in the NCR to represent the 8 steps in the method. Create CAPA actions for step 3 and 5 in the method if necessary. (It is a lot of steps/administration to handle each action) Create one NCR with one Capa, then create 8 actions in the CAPA.

Hi everyone In service  management, when shipping the same maintenance parts to different customers, we want to make the movement of the shipping personnel more efficient by consolidating multiple shipping instructions for multiple customers into a single shipping instruction. For example, regardless of whether it is for customers A, B, or C, one shipping personnel will dispatch 8 of 'Maintenance Part 001', and then sort them later into 3 for customer A, 2 for customer B, and 3 for customer C.Is there any solution to create a single shipping instruction (8)for customers A, B, or C? 

Is anyone aware how to set up expressions for making a field mandatory?I want to make this field mandaatory only if the customer’s Country is ITALYI went through this documentation but it doesn't explain the expression clearlyhttps://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/040_tailoring/225_configuration/200_client_configurations/310_conditional_fields/

In IFS10 (and previous versions) there is BizAPI ConnectivityProcessingHandler:LoadInboxMessage that can load IN_MESSAGE and IN_MESSAGE_LINE from a XML.I cannot find equivalent Projection in IFS Cloud.Do you know if there is such projection and the name of that projection? Neno

Is there an alert function such as E-mail notification for when the purchase quotation response deadline is exceeded?If there is the function, how do we set it?

How does the “Technical Lifetime” is defined and used when we define Functional object for Maintenance actions? In what processes it is used and how? 

We have a need to remove the ability for users that can create/work on Work Orders and Fault Reports to delete them once they are created.I’ve found that the Database Object tied to this is the ActiveSeparate Logical unit and removing the checkbox next to Remove__ would in theory throw an error - however that particular database object is tied to a lot of other functions in IFS and we would not want it to not work in other areas. There is a chance I am making this more difficult than necessary so any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am looking for help with positive pay, I was able to get the process started - I processed a batch through the external file, but it says “FileCreated”, is there a next step? I see in the CHECK_LEDGER_ITEM view that Positive Pay Created = TRUE, but there’s another column called “check File Created” - does that get populated at some point in this process? I am looking to possibly leverage this to create a check file to send to a bank for printing.  Thank you! Leslie  

We are migrating to a new financial institution later this year and we are starting the process in test.  Is there any documentation readily available?
