On the IFS Cloud there is a table, PROJECT_ID_NUMBER_TABused by Project_Id_Number_API But how can we use it, instead of the Project Id Numbers, we would like to uses rules for obtaining a numbering format like [AA][UUUU][NOSEQUENCE], withAA Current year UUUU a custom field and the sequencesHow can we achieve this, because when i’m using the PROJECT API when I’m using   Client_SYS.Clear_Attr(attr_); -- Add attributes Client_SYS.Add_To_Attr('OBJID', OBJID_, attr_); Client_SYS.Add_To_Attr('OBJVERSION', OBJVERSION_, attr_); Client_SYS.Add_To_Attr('PROJECT_ID', MCI_NEW_PROJECT_ID, attr_); Client_SYS.Add_To_Attr('ACTION', ACTION_, attr_); -- Modify project PROJECT_API.Modify__(INFO_, OBJID_, OBJVERSION_, attr_, ACTION_);Project.UPDATE: I got the message that “[PROJECT_ID] cannot be modified”

Are there any plans to include the possibility of perfoming simple calculations in table views such as summarizing in columns in future releases (similar to the functionality in IEE)?

Hello, does anyone know if in IFS Cloud a Quick Report (projection) can be used as a Datasource for a lobby element? Thank you! BR Herbert

Hello,is it possible to book an appointment in PSO that specifies the technician but instead of booking a fixed time you only specify the day. This way PSO schedules this technician for the day in its view and PSO itself determines which time is the best. This way I would only have to confirm the day and the technician to the customer and PSO would find the best time for me. But we like to do it in PSO we don’t like to use appointment  bokking in FSM.

Dear Community,in our company we’d like to implement MT100 bank payment format for payments in EUR. Could you please kindly advise where to define that the cost of such payment should on our side - ‘OUR’ identifier. I cannot see any place for such info in the Electronic Payment Address. Have you faced such an issue? Do you have any suggestions where to look for? We are also testing the option of Polish Split Payment solution of vat payment in accounting currence. If there are any Polish specialist with experience in this area here, I’d be also grateful for any feedback. Thanks :)

After defining a custom rule with SA070200 code in Avalara, is it possible to apply this custom rule to a charge or non-inventory part in IFS? 

We are encountering the following error in the 24r2 IFS deployments. In some environments and due to this the deployment process is getting stuck or hanging. In most cases, the deployment hangs indefinitely.The error occurs during the deployment of IFS 24r2, and it appears inconsistently across various environments.The background jobs are configured to 0. We have attempted to resolve the issue by restarting the database, but the issue persists. On some occasions, the error appears for different packages, not just one specific package, indicating that it may not be isolated to a particular module.!!!PACKAGE GENERAL_SYS not created/replaced because it is locked by another process. You might need to redeploy it manually

Hi Community experts, I have create a custom menu for BDRs so that our internal business users can self serve and find all the lists they want to maintain in one place in IFS menu.What is the recommended way to propagate this to other IFS environments like TST & PRD etc there seems no way to bundle them in an ACP,  for example.Or is it simply the case that you apply the required changes in each IFS instance manually as and when.TIA on this recommendation

In IFS, when labor clocks into a shop order, the cost is derived from the "Labor Class," which is defined in the routing of the part. However, when labor clocks into an indirect job, the cost is calculated as hours worked × standard cost, where the standard cost is defined in HR > Standard Costs. The issue is that these standard cost rates have not been updated in a long time. We are concerned that changing it might impact other accounts or areas within the system.Before making any updates, We’d like to understand: What specific accounts or financial areas would be affected by a change to the standard cost? Are there any dependencies or system configurations that need to be checked before updating this value? I’d appreciate any insights or experiences from those who have dealt with this before.Thanks in advance! 

Hello,I’m trying to create a new business plan but I’m stuck in this screen. I have added myself as a Business Plan Administrator. I can’t seem to add a USER GROUP? (e.g. missing + signs) This is what I expect: Thanks!

Hi,  In new service management, in release 23r1, does anyone have performance issue? Indeed, in this version, it is really long to update the service request tab. We have found that it is because of high number of service object (functionnal object) in a certain site (more than 100 000 objects). If someone have occured this issue also, can you please contact me? Regards. 

In previous versions of IFS we always used the ‘Magic Spreadsheet’ to bulk import our Basic Data into our REF environment.  How do we do this in IFS Cloud 23R1?  I have tried the copy/paste function but unfortunately it doesn’t work between environments (i.e., cannot copy data from DEV to TEST etc).Surely there must be a way to add data in bulk without having to resort to using data migration scripts?

Hi All,I have a question regarding the usage of REST APIs in Oracle. Specifically, is there a way to initiate a “Check” method before performing a “Do” method directly through REST API calls? Oracle APII noticed that all Oracle API CRUD operations include a parameter called "action_", and I’m wondering if it’s possible to pass values like “Prepare”, “Check”, or “Do” directly to this parameter via the REST call.Has anyone tried this or found a way to implement such functionality? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

We recently did a round of inventory counting, where we created a set of count reports segmented by a particular categorization; we invoked INVENTORY_PART_IN_STOCK_API.Create_Count_Report to do this for each of these. Unfortunately some of these categories, even though we are only interested in “top-level” handling units, contain a lot of items when you include all the levels of nesting. One category, containing over 25,000 handling units across all of these levels but with <1000 top-level items, took over 16 hours to complete. We’ve had a category with an amount in this neighborhood (more like 20,000) that took closer to 2 hours to run, which was still problematic enough that we came up with special-case subcategories. My boss suggested modifying this method (or its implementation submethods) to skip certain checks or otherwise run much more efficiently, and before trying that I wanted to know if this is just innate to the count report process, if there is another setting I should

Hi, I’m trying to create a navigation link from for example customer order lines to inventory part availability planning and want to add some additional filters apart from the partno parameter that is passed. Only showing sites with the part in stock would be great but when trying to add that condition, the validation of the navigation filter fails. Is there a way to make this work?Kind regardsKristian

Hello,I’m working on business analytic migration from IFS V8 to business reports on IFS 24R1.I fixed my sql source recreating an IAL Object under the same name as the one I want to get available on IFS Cloud.On Excel, everything works fine.But on IFS Cloud, I got following error when I try to order the report : So I searched on the community and I saw I should try the Upgrade tool.The upgrade tool says everything is up2date :  So I don’t know what I have to do to make it work.I could rebuild it from 0, but we have a migration planned in 2 months, and I want to avoid overload of things to achieve the goal which is almost unreachable.

Hello,I, and I’m sure I’m not alone, have the requirement to have a document connected to a Misc Demand or Misc No Part Demand be carried over to the supply which would be a purchase requisition line.  IFS does not have a “standard” transformation for this.  Has anyone defined a custom field that would carry from the demand to the requisition so that a normal transformation could be done?  (Extend the target view??).  Or, have written the SQL that could be used as a transformation method?Thank youPatrick
