Good morning,How can I configure file imports from a specific location, e.g., a network directory, using external file transactions in the IFS CLOUD system?I assume that I have a .csv file in a specific directory and the system has a schedule for reading the file from that directory.I am considering this in the context of currency imports and wondering whether it would be reasonable to use the file reader mechanism in this case.

How can I make a field type controller in to a look up . As I know Control type should change and should have a reference to be a look up  . is there a way to do this by just using page configurations ? 

Hello,When calculating a Part cost in Product costing, it calculates the cost for 1pce or standard batch size. Is it possible to calculate costs for different batch sizes. For example, if our manufactured product is using purchased components and we have a pricing added behind the supplier of the component for several different batch sizes, is it possible to calculate our manufacturing cost for 1pce, 5pcs and 10pcs, so that it take into account those price steps we have from our material supplier? 

Hi,Do you know if it's possible to use a “select” as a quick report variable?Or to have the variables pre-populated?Regards

Hi, I’ve spent a bit of time trying to figure this out but wondered if it was possible. I have had a request to show Change Order Actions from CO lines on the change request screen, I have tried a few things such as creating a projection accociation between the two entities and binding them to ECO_NO, but due to them needing to have a CO first this means they don’t show on the change request screen, and end up showing all CO actions because the filter fails. I have also tried using custom fields to select the actions and display them as fields, this works but only shows the first action at the list due to the statement only being able to pull 1 field and not multiple, so it can only put 1 action into the custom field. Is this possible due to them having different data sets/not sharing any key rows ? Many Thanks

We are on IFS Cloud.IFS calculates Withholding Tax as a % of the NET supplier invoice amount (exclusive of ‘deductible’ VAT/Taxes).However, Irish Revenue calculates the Withholding Tax on the GROSS supplier invoice amount (inclusive of ‘deductible’ VAT/Taxes).e.g. supplier invoice = €100 + VAT (sales taxes) €13.5 = gross €113.50 to be paid.  The Withholding tax rate is 20%.  Irish Revenue calculate withholding tax amount of €113.50 x 20% = €22.70, i.e. pay the supplier €113.50 less €22.70 = €90.80 but IFS calculates €100 x 20% = €20 i.e. pay the supplier €113.50 less €20 = €93.50.I do not appear to have any option/feature in IFS to change the withholding tax amount to automatically calculate based on the Gross amount.I know that it is possible to manually modify the withholding tax amount in IFS when creating the payment proposal but ideally I want the system to calculate as required first time.Any thoughts or similar experience in the Commu

Hello everyone, and happy 2026 :)I have a question about GED. Would it be possible for a customer to sign a document on a tablet and have that signature attached to the order in question? For example, in the service area, we could envisage an intervention followed by a signature from the customer. 

Hello,I am facing the below error.What might the issue or missing setup Regards,Kruthika

Hi, to my knowledge GAEB is used to communicate with different stakeholders especially for biddings in the german building industry.The customer is creating invitations to bid. These can be imported with X83 standard. The supplier is sending his bid with the x84 standard. Has someone experience with this? To my understanding the rules for the creation of x84 are highly complex and I would not recommend an interface with x83/x84 standard. I would prefer an interface to a software which does the importing/exporting of x83/x84. And I do not see BOOMI to do it but a specialised software for GAEB.What do you think?Thank you,Sarah

We have a report with Design Rows for a Income Statement that some expenses are defined by cost center and account number. Others are strictly on the account number and we’re using a basic filter for that but an advanced filter with cost center and account combination.We have a sheet repeater to have an income statement for each cost center. For cost centers that have a row with no data it is suppressing those rows where we have the advanced filter. On the basic filter lines we have the “all” checked.We want to do the same with the advanced filtered lines also, because we will in Excel create a summary tab to add all the cost center tabs together. The issue is the lines in each tab don’t match 1 for 1 because some tabs have rows suppressed and they have difference rows suppressed compared to each other. how can we get all rows, regardless if a NULL value in each repeated tab for the lines using an advanced filter?

Hello,I am working with a customer that associates forklifts in a warehouse with specific areas within a warehouse. For instance, if a given area in the warehouse may not be large enough to accomodate a forklift of a specific size, then it will not allow a warehouse worker to be assigned to that task involving that location if the warehouse worker is associated with the forklift.Essentially, the equipment becomes a variable in determining whether the warehouse task can be assigned to a given worker. Has anyone encountered this requirement? Does anyone have any ideas on how this might be managed in the software? Julian White

Hi,   We’re having a lot of trouble with our Start Pages/Saved Searches in Apps 10 UPD4 (happened before UPD4 as well). They load fine at first, but if a user tries to refresh them (after a few minutes), they return ?’s instead of the number of hits.   This is just one example, but it happens on many queries/profiles/permission sets/start pages/etc:   I created a test start page with a simple query (I believe it’s simple, anyway, I’m unfortunately not very knowledgeable with SQL)   The first time I opened this test start page, it loaded fine (all 1’s for the result).  Now when I refresh after about 10-15 minutes of waiting on this screen, some will error out:  

I’m having difficulty locating where historical forecast data resides in the Demand Forecast module within IFS Cloud. I know that Adjusted Forecast information is stored in the FORECAST_FLOW_DAY_PUB table, but is there a specific table that can be queried to retrieve historical demand data?

Hello team, I looking to see if there is a way we can configure IFS only issue/backflush material that is in the Work Center’s Inbound location for a shop order? I’ve tried updating the the Work Center Outside Reserve/Backflush to Not Allowed (this option will not allow shop order reservations until they are moved to Inbound location) and Reserve Only (this option will allow me to reserve from where I would like but does not stop me from issuing material that is not in the inbound locations). Thanks in advance!

Hello, When posting a number of invoices, we receive the error message below. This occurs when posting invoices from contractors. Strangely enough, it does not occur with all invoices from contractors. I have checked the suppliers, projects and parts. All of them have been ruled out because other invoices from contractors contain the supplier, projects and/or parts and are posted without an error message.I don't understand what triggers the error message, because all the currencies we use are valid in the Currency Rates screen. Are you familiar with this message and do you have a solution for it?The error occurs when we do Purchasing > Match PO Receipts in the menu Posting Proposal. We are on Apps10 Update 29. 

Hello IFS Community,We’ve encountered an issue when using the .rep layout in a Report Rule with the action “Check In To Document Management”. Specifically, the Document Revision is not created or attached to the ProjectInvoice object when the .rep layout is used.In contrast, when using the .rdl layout in the same Report Rule, the Document Revision is successfully created and attached to the ProjectInvoice object.The Report Rule configuration remains unchanged between tests—only the layout name differs. Both layouts (.rdl and .rep) generate PDF results in the Report Archive, and the Report Rule Log confirms that the rule is triggered in both cases.Does anyone know why the .rdl layout works for creating Document Revisions, while the .rep layout does not? Could it be a configuration we’re missing?
