When navigating to the Export License Connection window and selecting the Search option, the following server error occurs:“ExportLicenseConnections/LicenseConnectionsPage (server error) – Error while serializing contents.”During further investigation, it was identified that the issue is caused by the ‘Export License ID’ field. An attempt was made to modify the field length using the Page Designer; however, the same server error reoccurs when clicking on Search.Below is the server error information.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ExportLicenseConnections/LicenseConnectionsPage (server error)Error while serializing contents.This error happens when the server cannot serialize the data to be sent to the client.A common cause is that one attribute's length exceeds the defined maxlength in the projection.To find more info, open Log Window or Debug Console

Hello all; In one of my recent upgrade projects involving an 8TB Oracle database, I observed that the import operation is taking approximately 62 hours to complete. Within this, importing INDEXES alone consumes around 21 hours, and importing CONSTRAINTS takes about 24 hours. I am looking for best practices, tips, or any suggestions to help reduce the overall import time, especially for these long-running segments. If anyone has experience with speeding up large database imports or optimizing the import of indexes and constraints, your insights will be highly appreciated. Currently, the import is a major bottleneck in the upgrade timeline, and any guidance on parallelism settings, pre/post-import tuning, or other techniques would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!Note:Here I've used PARALLEL=30 as well [ 32 CPU Database server ] INDEXES  CONSTRAINTS   BR!/Dilshan

I have seen the feature in the site level for maintenance in Move Functional Object to ignore object level validation. I admit it does scare me a little but would like to learn more from people that might be using this feature. Like a pros and cons on when to use it vs. not use it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,Is there a Report for Contractor Time that has been registered but not yet invoiced (PRJT13 Postings Balance)?We are using Time Registration for Contractors to Enter Time Sheets. We then match the Supplier Invoices from the Contractors against the Project Transactions. These use PRJT13 - Project Time Reporting for Contractors Counter Booking. The Project Transactions Time Transaction credits PRJT13. When the Supplier Invoice is matched it debits PRJT13. At any time there will be a balance in the General Ledger in the Account used by PRJT13 relating to to the Contractor Time that has been registered but not yet invoiced (similar to the Purchase Order Receipts leaving a balance in the Account used by M91 relating to what we see in the “Received - Not Yet Invoiced” Report.Thanks for any help.Cheers,Graham

The Asset Health Dashboard has been shown as a feature of IFS during various IFS Connect events.  Does anyone have any further details on how to configure and set up.    

Project Time Transactions are creating a T Voucher in the General Ledger. The Voucher Row for PRJT2 is being summarised and shows as a single line with the description “Summarised customers costs”. Is there a way to show the detail. Same is happening for PRJT13.We are time reporting for Contractors and would like to see the details for each contractor so we can  use Account Matching to match the Supplier Invoice Postings with the Time Transactions. Otherwise we have yet to find what report we can use to identify the balance left in the Account by the PRJT13 postings (similar to a Received Not Yet Invoiced Report).Thanks for any help.Graham

Hi,we work in multisite environment. We have manufacturing sites A & B. Both sites uses components in production that the other site manufactures. Components are transferred between sites with distribution orders. We have defined in supplier for purchase part supplier manufacturing lead time and site to site parameters transport time. Can someone explain the logic of DO schedules?Case: Shop order is created on site B and it requires component from site A. MRP create first DO from site A to B and then shop order request on site A. It seems that MRP does not take into consideration supplier manufacturing lead time at all but only tries to fullfill site B shop order component need even if component is not available on site A and manufacturing would take X days. What’s the point of supplier manufacturing lead time in case MRP does not use it in calculation?

Hi all, We are on 25.1.1 and many users are reporting the web browsers (Edge/Chrome) taking up lots of memory and CPU % with using IFS Cloud. This might be linked to some pages (ex. Shop Order having about 500 material lines), but not in all instances.  Here’s an example from a key user:while loading data And once the data loads, the CPU % idles without memory getting offloaded.TIA

The intention is to change the Task Card Description, Subtask Description, and Maintenance Code Description lengths from the standard 60 characters to 200 characters across all pages where these fields are used.For instance, on the Subtasks page, the MaxLength value for the Subtask Description column in the Subtasks List element was modified from 60 to 200 in the Page Designer. However, during testing, the Subtask Description field still remains limited to 60 characters.  Kindly advise why this change is not being applied as expected.

Hi,We are in the middle of upgrading to 25R1 SU3 from 24R2. In all installations to test-environments so far we have experiecced a bug, the login fails a day after the installation has been done.

The RnD team is also working on an alternative workaround in parallell, as the existing one is not sustainable.Kindly Marie

Hello, we have two ways of doing business. end customer - everything clear here  internal customer - we have given strict lead times including the prices in between the companies. How or where to set up the LT on the “internal customer” and “the manufacturer” in a way that so it “takes” the value from the “manufacturer” side into the “customer” side and that same delivery time is pulled onto the purchase order automatically as the wanted date?  Thank you,Best Regards Petra

Do we have any option in IFS to manage lessor accounting? The customer has two companies configured in IFS — one operating as the lessee and the other as the lessor. While the standard lease module supports lessee accounting, how can we handle the lessor side? Any workaround or alternative approach would also be appreciated.

Is there any way to book lease interest and depreciation expenses directly to a project? I can link the project to the lease interest expense and fixed asset accounts through posting control (pre-posting); however, there is no field available to specify the activity sequence number. Both accounts are connected with the Cost/Revenue Element. 

Hi everybody,in IFS10 we have scheduled task to calculate purchase costs (latest purchase cost).   How to set it up in IFS Cloud?I tried to set it up, but I don’t know the syntax for ATTRIB_ parameter in IFSCloud. When I copy the argument from background job (when you run it manually), it doesn’t work. I am aware of other ticket saying it is not possible even in APPS10, but it definitely works, so I just want to double check. Thansk a lot.Jan

When creating a bookmark for the Maintenance > Equipment > Tools and Equipment page in IFS Cloud 24R1 environment, it opens the Service > Equipment > Tools and Equipment page instead. Steps to reproduce:Navigate to Tools and Equipment via Maintenance > Equipment > Tools and Equipment. Add a bookmark on the Tools and Equipment page. Navigate to another page or log out and log back in. Select the saved bookmark.Can this be identified as a defect?If not, can the service entry be removed from the Navigation designer?

Hi All - some observations and questions on sub contract certificate invoice matching. 1.VATWhen a sub contract valuation is created, the tax code information will be taken from the tax code on the revision item. When an invoice is received from the subbie and created in IFS, it is connected to the sub contract header but does not inherit the tax code from the contract, it comes from the invoice tab on the supplier.When the invoice line is matched to the certificate line, the posting lines take the tax code from the invoice and not from the valuation line. Is there something we can do to prevent this happening? It seems counter intuitive to be able to enter tax information on lines but they have no impact when it comes to the invoice creation and posting process. 2.Payment termsSub contract valuations will often have user defined payment dates, independent of calculated dates.As before, it would make sense if the invoice automatically updated the due date when matched to a certificate.

Hi Alldoes anyone know of a quicker way of entering analysis results on a control plan on Shop Order in cloud. Looks like the change from APPS10 is too laborious having to enter and confirm line by line, especially when several lines to complete.  I know you can filter to view by Data Type on the Analysis Results window, but looks like your unable to enter results on that page.If you were able to enter results here it speed up the process.   Thanks in advance for any help!
