Hi, In designing lobbies in IFS Cloud we could use variable substitutions such as ‘#START_OF_THIS_WEEK#’. I encountered an issue when we use these variables in WHERE conditions with - (days). e.g.  if we have a criteria to take the date before the start of the week, I would think that this would work. ‘#START_OF_THIS_WEEK#’ -1 but we ended up here with the following error. but, if we use the database method to retrieve the same value here. it works fine.  Am I doing something wrong with the use of these substitution variables? or is this a bug? If we use the variables alone they works fine.  

Is there any way in which you can trace which purchase order lines have been raised against specific material requisitions?  I can trace a purchase order line back to the purchase requisition but there doesn’t seem to be a link back to the demand source of that purchase requisition.

Hi, I’m trying to set up use of Employee Cards to register employee attendance clockings in IFS 10 IEE via Time Clock. As an example, I’ve set up the employee/person with the Card No. below, and set up the card parameters to match (I think): The time clock detail for the button is set to Card Driven Execution, but when I attempt to scan a barcode (with characters 0000001590) using a barcode reader after clicking “In”, nothing changes and the terminal still reads “Clock In: Swipe the Card.” However, if I use a standalone time clock client, I get an error saying “Employee    not a time clock user.” Scanning the barcode into a text document or other fields in IFS gives the expected result (0000001590).

Hello,I’m having trouble with the IFS Document Management Add-in for MS Office.  If I go from an email the system opens the Create Document from Microsoft Office dialog and list the correct file name but the system will not enable the finish button.If I try from word, the system flashes up a quick dialog that says it Launching IFS Arena, then nothing.I’ve tried on 3 URLs and no luck.  I get the Create Document from Microsoft Office to show up for the .msg type file from Outlook but no Finish button.  And for word document, nothing except a quick flash of a dialog.Can anyone give me any clues?

Hello Community!I’m trying to create a schedule and rule which includes a 50 hr weekly limit after which ALL time is converted to DT (double time).  The problem I’m having - the conversion order.  The requirement is to convert (reduce) OT time first, then reduce Normal time.  IFS is taking from Normal time first - I need the opposite.  The Conversion Default Check box doesn’t seem to change the order of conversion.  Any experience out there?  Schedule:5Dx8H MTWTFBalance Definition:

Hi, We have a need to use an Excel Migration job to create multiple quote lines within a Sales Quotation, some of our quotes run to around 600 lines long. Meaning that manual keying in is particularly cumbersome and not very productive. Therefore, an Excel migration job was setup to look to see if we could speed this process up significantly. However, we’ve hit an issue whereby the Unit Of Measure is a mandatory field within the migration job, but we wouldn’t always know off hand what that value was. Again this would mean having to look up potentially hundreds of parts whilst keying the lines in, is there a way to force IFS to do this lookup for the unit of measure when executing the job?We’re currenlty on IFS Cloud 23R1 Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated!Thanks

Hi Does anyone have a better explanation for the C Query flag then the one IFS gives in the documentation? https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/22r1/050_reporting/256_br_and_a/005_adhoc_reporting/010_quickreports/#query_flags_and_default_values_for_sql_statement_type 

Hi All, I am exploring the possibility of using ‘External Files’ to format a txt BACS file (format txt to txt) to send to Barclays bank without doing a MOD.However, I can see that ‘External Files’ interface has some limitations where you cannot even create a new  ‘External File Type’.Does anyone have experience in creating a template for BACS transformation using External Files template? If yes, could you share any tips on how to achieve this.

Hi All,This is a IFS Cloud and Aurena Issue.I have a question about how to allow user to enter a value that does not exist in the reference in case of dynamic generated LOV-s.As a reminder, in the case of standard value lists (based on an explicitly specified data source) this is possible by using the "freeinput" parameter:*.projection file:reference CustomerNoRef(Company, CustomerNo) to CustOrdCust6(Company, CustomerNo) {*.client file:lov CustomerNoRef with CustomerSelector using Customers {     freeinput = [true]  }  In the case of dynamic LOV, the field structure is different and for this list of values, the "freeinput" parameter is not available in the client file:*.projection file:   reference ControlTypeValueRef(ControlTypeValue) dynamic(ControlType) parent(Company);*.client file:   field ControlTypeValueRef {      label = "${parent.ControlTypeName}";      editable = [ControlTyp

Hello,Maybe someone could consult me in permissions stets issue how to switch off the presentation objects in IFS Cloud.I know that there is presentation objects context in IFS Cloud, but then how to deal with the issue described below?For example, for the user role „TEST_1“ we granted the projection „SupplierAgreementHandling“, but do not want to allow execution of the function „Create Request for Quotation“ for that user role: So we didn‘t grant the projection „CreateRequestForOrderQuotationHandling“: In „Managing grants by Commands“ we also see that Request for quotation in not granted: 

Hi Community, Recently we have started Oracle 12c to 19c Database upgrade and we have used Database export method.After upgrading to 19c, we noticed that the PLSQL Access Provider is showing as red, and scheduled database tasks are not running. We are unable to troubleshoot the issues. Additionally, we observed significant differences in IFSAPP-related objects compared to the 12c database instance.Has anyone encountered similar issues after a database upgrade? Best Regards,Rusiru

Hi,Trying to get my head around inbound integration from a 3rd Party.I have an sample inbound message (Screen shot below) the 3rd Party can send us. I’d like to receive the data and then map it to a single custom table taking the relevant data points that have been passed.  Is that possible to do? Or would I have to create a custom table for each object i.e. carData, deviceData and then into the functions?Ideally I have data_table and column_a, column_b etc and use the mapping to obtain the data I need. Any help if anyone has done something similar would be appreciated. Cheers Ady

Hi,I am experiencing an issue with the Inbound file reading, I have set up for reading from a FILE READER. I have configured the routing rule and the address as required, but I encounter an error during file reading related to routing rule identification.I suspect that the issue may require adding a location-based condition. However, since the file name varies due to a timestamp, I am unsure how to define this condition effectively.Could you please advise on how to properly define the file name in such cases or suggest any potential solutions? 

We encountered an issue with MWO.  Two tasks were assigned to a tech and sent to his mobile.  The tech left the company but never completed or returned the tasks to IFS.  This is preventing us from being able to complete the tasks and put them in finished status.  Has anyone found a way or a work around to get those tasks back from the mobile?

Good afternoon, I have the following scenario: I have a Customer Order for a Cost per serial part. In order to build that part, I am sending components to the supplier (The CS part has attached a Product structure to include the components).The Purchase Component Method is Customer Order and the items are not charged.The Cost on CO does not show the whole cost for Cost per serial part, it has only the amount that I pay for assembly. I run the same test for a non-serial part and the cost includes the cost of the components.Do I have an incorrect setting somewhere?We are using IFS 10 UPD 16.Thanks,Cora 

Hi All, When using the inventory cost setting; Standard Cost, Cost per Part, Zero Cost ForbiddenIn previous releases of IFS, you was forced to calculate cost and copy to cost set one, before receipt of the part as inventory value zero was not allowed. The calculation of cost and set standard cost is a fundamental concept for many companies. We are now running IFS Cloud 23R2 and notice that you are not forced to calculate and set standard cost anymore, is that a new parameter implemented to get old logic to be used?I have read release notes from App 10 and later but haven’t found anything related to this issue. To set Unit Cost based on estimated shop order cost when first received is not accepted by all controlers.
