Is there a way or method to record the number of hours an operator worked in a production floor environment that was not actually clocked in to shop order.

Hi all, We’re on IFS Cloud 24R2, and I’m trying to allow employees to book Bank Holidays via the Quick Absence screen (My Self-Service). Right now, Bank Holiday is not set up as an Absence Type. It exists only as a wage code, which is linked to the Absence Category = Leave. When users open the Quick Absence screen: The Bank Holiday option doesn’t appear in the list at all. The Bank Holiday date itself is greyed out (not selectable). The wage code is correctly set up (Absence Category = Leave, Can be Reported by Employee = Yes, Day Type Rule = “Can overlap non-working days”). But since the system isn’t picking it up in Quick Absence, I’m wondering: Does Bank Holiday need to be set up as a proper Absence Type in IFS Cloud to be bookable via Quick Absence? Or is there something else I’m missing in the setup? Appreciate any guidance or examples from others who’ve handled this scenario. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am trying to enable automatic reservation and backflush upon shop order receipt (operation approval) in Shop Floor Workbench (IFS APPS 10 UPD 23). The product structure is set up to automatically reserve and backflush from a specific location and connected operation. Everything was working fine until I enabled lot tracking, and now it’s returning the error message: “There are not enough reservations for the tracked part. It must be reserved before it is issued, as the parent part is multilevel tracked.” I know I can get around this by right-clicking the material line and selecting “Reserve”, but I don’t want the operators to have to do that. This process occurs in the middle of a production line, so they’d have to Reserve upon each receipt, as not all of the material would be available at the start of the Shop Order. I’d like the system to automatically calculate, reserve, and backflush the exact quantity of material required upon each partial receipt/op approval. Is this poss

I'm having issues getting documents attached to a work task to appear on MWO. Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be? I am attaching a document on the Work Task in Aurena but not seeing this document in the MWO app (iOS or Windows). I already checked the following: User has access to the document (same user can see it in Aurena) Document class is set as a mobile document class and to push to mobile User has docman permissions. I can attach new documents on MWO without any issues Document is released IFSSERVICEENGAPP user is connected to the site I'm using Cleared caches, disconnected and connected MWO, initialized etc This is on 23R1.

Hi, I have noticed in MWO, when you answer eforms they are not fully retained when you check the next day. I completed about 6 eforms however only 2 had the answers populating when i visited the next day. Others were new. What could be the reasons all answers are not retained? Thank you,

Hi, We’re on Cloud 23R2. I’ve noticed that when issuing parts directly using “direct issue” on the tech portal, the parts aren’t registered under the Material tab in the work task, but only registered as costs. This might be confusing as everyone looks at the Materials area on the work task to see what parts were issued, where the direct issued parts now don’t appear. What was the reasoning behind it? Is that a bug?

Hello, I try to create a count report for a warehouse in IFS Apps. 10 and have got the Warning message below No data found for entered search criteria. Count Report not created. There are inventory parts in the warehouse so the Count Report is expected to be created. Kind Regards,Svitlana

Hi, should route order have any effect on transport tasks when using perform putaway in move into stock? If so, should there be some values on every level of route order? (Bay Route Order, Row Route Order, etc.) Or is there some other meaningful putaway basic data that should be considered? IFS Cloud Thanks, Markus

Hello. When we ran revenue recognition, we noticed that for a particular project, the accumulated recognized revenue is exceeding the estimated revenue, in this case by 2.8K which is exactly the difference between the actual cost and estimated cost. Please see below. Would anyone have an idea why this is occurring and what the remedy is for it? Would appreciate your thoughts and assistance. Thank you.

I’m getting the following information message when I enter the dispatch console: We have an active dataset. there are no available active datasets in the user settings of the dispatch console. Is this a permissions issue? Dispatch console works in other environments. Or am I missing something in the setup? Thanks, Ed

We are trying to trigger a recurring service program twice per month. The best we can come up with is have a daily trigger that triggers every 16 days. If we had a weekly trigger that triggers every 2 weeks, some months will get 3 recurring service programs, which is not what we want.

Hi All, Managing freight costs and allocating various charges to inventory part cost can be a challenging process. Within IFS, there are several methods to handle this — for example, by defining an overhead or using purchase charges combined with different distribution methods. This process is straightforward as long as we know the charge amounts before the goods are received, allowing us to adjust the purchase order accordingly. However, I often encounter difficulties when freight costs are unknown at the time of receipt. For instance, we may receive the freight invoice two weeks after the goods have been received. I would like to ask what is the best approach to add these charges to the inventory cost of the parts in such cases? Re-receiving the PO does not appear to be an option. Could you please share how you typically manage these situations? Thanks, Chamath

Community, We got below error when doing purchase order receiving. it is a no-part, and it is associated with a project activity. the project does not have any budget control. where else we can find the budget control in the system, in other words, how we could resolve this issue? Thank you.

I’ve been testing out seasonal profiles in demand planner (Cloud 23R1), but I am struggling to understand the results and hoping someone may be able to explain the detail. My understanding is when you create a seasonal profile and then apply it to a forecast, the total forecast sum will be adjusted by the seasonality index for each period. To test, I created a forecast part & single base flow. I then created a manual seasonal profile for the part. I created the forecast (18 months, Best Fit) , then compared the figures with and without the seasonal profile applied. Questions: Why does the total forecast sum for Y1 reduce from 166,905 to 102,596? If I calculate the seasonality index based on the 102,596, for Y1, it lines up, but I cannot explain where the 102,596 has come from? Why is the system forecast Jan-June Y2 now the exact same values as Jan-June Y1 when seasonality is applied? Before seasonality is applied Y2 system forecast values are different.

Looking to talk to anyone that has managed to set up supplier payments that can be automatically sent direct from IFS to their bank Otherwise can anyone recommend a tool/add on that can facilitate paying suppliers direct without any manual intervention Thanks Jaime

Hi, I had to partially rollback a supplier payment that had been created using supplier payment proposal. This is because the invoice was not coded correctly and was stopping me from activating a fixed asset. I have added the invoice back on, created a 0 value mixed payment to match the invoice to the parked payment that was sat as SUPOA. However, the actual payment on the supplier account is still there, how do i cancel or remove this payment? It is showing in the Supplier Ledger Open Items and is incorrect. I’ve attached screenshots showing the mixed payment matching, as well as the supplier payment on account still remaining after the matching has taken place. Thank you

Dear All, How can you make a Correction Tax Proposal? What does the correction Proposal Select? All transactions or only the transactions that are changed and later fetched transaction via Fetch Tax ledger Info? Thanks in advance for your reaction. Regards Raymond

Hi All, I have been exploring the new Contractor Management solution in 25R1 for Request Tasks. I like the idea of creating the PO Lines based on actual reported items like time reported of the contractor. There are multiple customers who have modifications for that in the Work Order solution. But I am supprised to see that in the Release Notes there is a restriction. Which makes it not possible to send the Request Task to the mobile of the Subcontractor Resource... Mobile Work Order for Service Contractor Resources. It is not possible to utilize Mobile Work Order for Service Contractor Resources. Any Request Work Task that is assigned to a Service Contractor cannot be transferred to mobile. I am looking for the reason why this restriction is build in? I have customers who wants to have both their own employees and subcontractors to work with the same mobile Service MWO Solution. But that is not possible for subcontracted orders, as described in the Release Restrictions and by my own t

Posting control in IFS Cloud refers to the process of translating business events into financial transactions. This system ensures that many financial postings are created automatically, using predefined posting types and control types configured under IFS/Accounting Rules. In manufacturing, numerous system events like OOREC, OPFEED, and SODIFF+ are commonly used. These are linked to financial outcomes through the appropriate combination of posting types and control types. In addition to basic control types, combination control types are used to further refine posting logic by including multiple control factors, such as Accounting Group, Asset Class etc. I've included a document with detailed information on business events, posting types, and control types that can help others better understand how financial postings work in IFS Cloud.

Hi! We are having an issue this month when running the Periodical Capitalization and Revenue Recognition where some Completed/Closed Projects are pulling into the data as if they are open. To be clear, the Completed Date on the projects are October 31st and we are trying to run the revenue recognition for that same month of October. My understanding is that once a project is closed, it should no longer be eligible for revenue recognition, even if it was closed that same month. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a setting somewhere that could have been changed that would cause this?

The Business Calendar in IFS Cloud is topping at 4pm ? Any possibility to adjust the view ? Most users require a time span of 8am-6pm The only option is: “SHOW FULL DAY”, which makes the calendar twice as long as needed and unfortunately, this setting is not saved in the personal profile.

Blanket PO is where we get approval for first PO line and we add subsequent PO lines within the approved amount. However, once we enable “Project Unique Procurement” check box at project level; it is not possible to add subsequent lines to the PO due to below error. Is there a workaround for this or any other way of creating a bulk PO from purchase order window itself.

Our PM Plans were setup wrong during implementation and have caused a headache with demand planning. This is going to be a very large project to clean up. However, we still want to us Min/Max order points. However, the demand is throwing off the reorders. Is there a way to ignore demand and just use the Min/Max just based on what we have on the shelf. So, I want a part to have a 2/4 min/max. When we hit 2 on the shelf, initiate a purchase requisition to get back up to 4. Ignoring all demand out there on work orders, etc.

Dear Connections, In IFS’ standard cloud application, the Incoming Dispatch Advice is not particularly helpful when working with inbound sea freight operations. We have a requirement from one of our customers, where the customer procures material from overseas suppliers. As transit times via ocean vessels are quite uncertain these days, the final arrival date at the warehouse often changes. In this scenario, our customer wants to track the inbound shipment status. Additionally, a single vessel may contain multiple orders from multiple suppliers. However, in IFS, we do not find an option to perform receipt for multiple orders from different suppliers within a single shipment or dispatch advice. This is because the standard Incoming Dispatch Advice functionality only supports multiple orders from a single supplier. Is this something on the Road Map for the future IFS cloud releases? I appreciate your comments and suggestions on this.
