IFS Solutions

We’re working through a Cloud upgrade with a remote deployment. I’m running into a lot of performance issues, and I’d like to explore using different antimalware solutions, different public clouds, and different on-prem hardware. Whenever I copy our production database somewhere, though, it creates a significant business risk, so I need a full-sized copy of our system that has been made safe enough to use for this exploratory purpose. I need to mask or sanitize our entire database to reduce or eliminate the risk of our business data getting compromised. Question 1: Has anyone scrubbed a database like this? How did you do it? There’s a pack available for Oracle Database Enterprise Edition called the Data Masking and Subsetting Pack. I saw that it needs to be licensed for the source database, or in this case our PROD 9 database. Question 2: Does this pack need to be licensed for every user or just the IT users who are working in the sanitized environment? Even if I can manage to mask all

Is there a secret to using User Defined Target Fields in Data Migration Manager? I’ve created the fields but they’re not showing up anywhere. Is this another bug?

Hi, Can I ask for an explanation of how this task works?„Macht Invoices with New PO Receipts“In Financials -> Suplier Invoice -> Invoice workflow.For example, what do I need to set up for the task to work correctly?Unfortunately, the help for this page is empty.I have the supplier set up for the receipt reference, but that is not enough. When I enter the purchase order number in the posting proposal, the task still does not work. Is it possible that this only works for external invoices, not for manual supplier invoices?Thanks everyone in advance.

there is an requirements that multiple activities should be added to one work order. reason behind this is there will be dependencies for activities.Can we create from a project activities like Act1, Act2 etc...as work tasks(1,2 etc..) and add to one work order. any possibilities to match the above requirements.

Hi everyone,I have test that you can create a Selection Rule to have a default Service Delivery Unit per Service:Is it possible to have a default Delivery Unit per Contract Line or Object, so when you create a request for that Object/Contract Line, you have the delivery unit automatically retrieved? If not, is this something that is coming in future releases? I am working on 24.1.5. Thanks in advance.

Hello,We are producing a part in UoM = PC. To manufacture that part, we are outsourcing operations on the shop order for:transport  manufacturing processBoth are assigned with an outside operation items for which the purchase requisitions are generated upon shop order release. Those are then converted into purchase orders and upon arrival of the physical items, we receive all of them and close the shop order.Items on the shop order are in UoM = PC, Outside operations items are a non-inventory parts (paying for the service) however one of the suppliers for the manufacturing process is charging us and sending an invoice per kg for one of those outside operation items (manufacturing process)Question/Problem to Solve: Is it possible to have purchase order for this non-inventory part in UoM = kg, but receiving it in UoM=PC on the shop order? How to solve this differentiation?Goal: We need to be able to issue orders for outsourced manufacturing process in the supplier's billing unit, that is

Hi Experts,We have created monthly forecast and used EAC workbench to transfer budgeted cost from one WBS activity to another and used Increase Budget amount. successfully managed to update the status to EAC Transferred on the Monthly Forecast. The monthly forecast is then approved.Now if the monthly forecast becomes the basis for Budget update. We need to create a revised budget with reference to the Monthly forecast using copy from forecast option.The forecast assistant ends in error - Project Forecast cannot be set to Reviewed when EAC workbench is in Progress. Why is it taking the revised budget version to Reviewed? it should attempt to create it in Preliminary status and let the user update it. This is in IFS Cloud 24R2Did anyone experienced this, and if yes, how are you updating the project budget? Manually?  

We are excited about digitizing the purchase return process. Currently, I am familiar with two return types: return for rework and return for credit.My question is, what happens next when "return for credit" is selected as the return reason? Does the system automatically generate a supplier credit invoice, or must users manually create the credit and link it to the supplier shipment?If anyone has complete documentation on this process, sharing it would be greatly appreciated.

Since Project Delivery is no longer available in IFS Cloud and now there are IFS customers preparing for the upgrade from IFS9 and IFS10 towards IFS Cloud we are having questions raised by the customer and by ourselves as an IFS Partner. Benefits & Differences:What are the (new) benefits of Project Deliverables compared to Project Delivery? What are the key differences of Project Deliverables compared to Project Delivery?Upgrade path and considerations:I have found another post that mentions how the data is handled. Basically it is stored for historical history purposes but there is no transformation path to the new solution. How is Project Delivery data handled when upgrading to Cloud | IFS CommunityCustomers will have ongoing IFS Project Delivery projects, what is needed to continue with the running projects as IFS Project Deliverables projects?  Has anyone have done this upgrade project and would you share your experiences so we can learn from it? Does IFS R&D has an stateme

Hi,We are looking at options on how to control custom codes on the PO level and based on what i can see this can be done by enabling the “Customs Import Declaration Number on Receipt”. Does anyone know if this functionality is working with other locations or only India, and does someone have a good way of adding Customs Information (HTS, COO, Custom Status) at the time of receiving a PO?

I am about to enter a large manual voucher using the External Voucher Assistant. Once it is created and before it is posted I need to make the voucher interim. Does anyone have the steps to do that. Thanks in advance.

I received this question in a private message: Can you think of a solution, on how to prevent the system from issuing new WDR beyond maximum shelf life?Example Scenario:A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed.After opening, it must be used within 2 months.A WDR Change - Receipt updates its expiry from 12 months to 2 months.Now, WADACO and IFS prioritize using this stock first.example: A bag of chocolate chips is received with a 1-year expiry when sealed. It stayed in the warehouse for 11 months, it has one 1 month left. When moved, the system might change the date to 2 months because is opened. How to make sure it will give only the maximum shelf life inherited from the original date?When stock is moved or repackaged, we want IFS to apply a new shelf life based on its status change (e.g., from sealed to opened). However, if the item is already close to expiration (e.g., 11 months into a 12-month shelf life), the system should not assign a new expiry date t
