Hi All,Have you applied 24R2 Release Update and was it successful?I got lots of questions from the customer regarding ‘failure’ scenario.Example: Assume we intend to apply 24R2 RU to CFG.1.What will happen if something goes wrong in CFG where specially data deletions owing to some kind of table changes from RnD? I know this is a possibility and RU will have necessary scripts to transfer data to new tables but for the sake of argument, would like to present this scenario as well.2.Is it possible to rollback a RU after applying to a single environment and fully reinstate the environment (for example CFG) to previous state?3.How long will it take to reinstate to the previous state ( in our case 24R1 SU5)?4.Does IFS recommend a database backup before a Release Update? 

Hello,Some of our customers receive subsidies from organizations.If the subsidy covers, for example, 20% of the order amount, we need to invoice 20% of the item's price to the funding organization. How can we manage this in IFS?Is it necessary to create two orders for the same item—one with an 80% discount for the organization and another with a 20% discount for the customer?If two orders are created, how can we communicate to the customer that the 20% discount is linked to a subsidy provided by the organization? Thank’s for your help in advanced 

 Hi All, I am generating Wo’s from my Service Contract through PM actions. But I noticed that trhe field ‘Contract Id’, ‘Line No’ and ‘Customer No’ are not defined when creating the WO from that Service Contract. That strikes me as odd since that info is easily obtained. Adding the info after creatin is also not possible - IFS will give an error that the Contract ID cannot be edited for WO generated from PM actions. So somewhere in the background, IFS knows the WO was generated from a PM Action/Service Contract ID - but it does not provide the info. Is this a bug of an inconsistency from the application? It seems very strange and I can’t think of any good reason why this info should be missing. Best RegardsRoel  Background info:Create Contract ID ‘3’

When you select lead time auto, do you need to change the lead time to 0 so it kicks in, or will it automatically calculate lead time for the PO and over-ride the number of days entered in the field?

From the documentation and experience it looks like if you run PMRP per Activity, it will do no netting at all. But what, if any, will be the difference between running “Perform PMRP per Project PNG” for the whole site and running “Perform Project MRP per Planned Netting Group” also for the whole site if we only have project PNGs? Why are these two jobs needed anyway? To the untrained eye it would seem that “Perform Project MRP per Planned Netting Group” would do the job in both cases (both when you have project PNGs and PNGs over project boundaries).

We recently update a SND and PPR (both non production) instances of IFS Apps 10 UPD 13 to 22. In both instances our textboxes on the Materials Tab of Prepare Work Order have altered and we have found no way to shrink them back to normal height for textboxes. Has anyone had this sort of issue or have a way to deal with it?Production (UPD 13): SND/PPR (UPD 22):

We are using the IFS Demand Plan Client v6.0.3.Our planning team forecasts demand by fiscal week, but sometimes they would like to review the data rolled up to the fiscal month. As is common, our fiscal months do not line up with calendar months, but are groups of our fiscal weeks - in our case in a 4-4-5 weekly grouping.We have the period version on our server set to Weekly, and we have been able to define the correct fiscal weeks for planning. But, when the timeline is changed in the DP client to display Monthly, the system appears to divide the weekly numbers by days, determine how many days are in the calendar month, and then sum those days to give a calendar "monthly" total, instead of grouping the fiscal weeks. We've been told by our technical team that we can change the period version on the server to Monthly to define the months correctly, but we would have to trash all the current flows, lose all history, and then it’s likely that the weeks will not be correct.

In the supplier payment proposal there is an option to do a supplier offset if there is a credit. This will take out the credit note out from the payment proposal and the payment advice / remittance will only show the amount that will be paid. (which is correct)Is there any way to show the credit note number and amount that was offset against the invoice in the footnote of the payment advice or is this a customisation ?

My sales team is using Business Opportunity to add lines and only moving to Sales Quotation when the quote is ready to be generated for the customer. They wish to see “Available Qty” on Opportunity Lines just like the native field displays on the Sales Quotation Lines.
