Hello everyone,we have a customer using PSO Standalone (version 6.16.0.71).Orders are created in an external source system and then transferred to PSO via an interface.Requirement:Some orders are created once (e.g., for a full month), but need to be executed daily for a short duration (e.g., 10 minutes).We are currently using Dynamic Scheduling.In Cyclic Scheduling, we noticed that activities can be defined as “Repeatable”, which is exactly the type of functionality we would need in Dynamic Scheduling.However, we are facing the following limitations:Activities in Cyclic Scheduling are not flexible to adjust or modify Dynamic Scheduling does not provide an equivalent standard feature for recurring activitiesQuestion:Has anyone implemented a similar scenario?Is there a recommended approach or best practice to handle daily recurring activities in Dynamic Scheduling?Thanks in advance!

Hi IFS team,We support a client currently running IFS Cloud 24R2. Per the Support Policy (Continuous Support Model), 24R2 will lose Current Release status once 26R2 goes GA, since only the latest Release plus the three previous ones are supported at any time. This would end Service Updates and support for 24R2.Could you confirm:1. The planned/confirmed GA date for IFS Cloud 26R22. The exact date 24R2 will exit Current Release status and stop receiving Service Updates3. Whether a formal retirement notice for 24R2 has already been posted on Community (per the 12-month advance notice commitment in the Support Policy)This will help us plan our client's upgrade timeline. Thanks in advance.

Hi,I get below error when trying to create a new layout in report studio. I used the module_rep for import. The page is blank because the Report Designer failed to load the report. Consult the developer for assistance. Use development mode for detailed information.Appreciate your support. Thank you.

We would like to get in contact with a customer, preferably Norwegian, who can tell us of their experience with bank reconsiliationg within IFS Cloud

Hi,Let’s say I have a main agreement with a fixed contract value. And there are a few subordinate suppliers with a different value altogether covering that main agreement value.Is there any functionality available within supplier agreement where I can link those sub agreements to the main one and track all the deductions?Main Agreement - $100Sub Agreement 1 - $50Sub Agreement 2 - $20Sub Agreement 3 - $30 If I raise a PO for Sub agreement 2 (let’s say $10) the same amount should be deducted from main agreement also.

Is it possible to pass data into IFS via the querystring on returning to a page?As an example, we break out of IFS into a custom app, once we have finished working in that app, we press a button in that app, and it returns to the work order in IFS, however, we might want to pass a comment back to a comments field in IFS, such as “blah blah blah” into a custom Notes field.The comment would be in the query string returning to the IFS.I feel like this wont’ be possible… any thoughts ?

Does anyone have presentation on latest IFS Cloud Navigation? The latest one with IFS cloud screenshots of UI.

25.1.2I have seen this shortcoming in many pages, but here I am focusing on the material transactions on a Shop Order.In Shop Order History, in the Material Transactions tab there is a Notes field. This cannot be edited; the user cannot enter a note against a transaction. One would think this would be the proper place for the user to enter a note explaining why the part was unissued from the order.Why does this field exist? Is information only entered here by the system when a transaction occurs? 

Hello everyone, I’m trying to navigate to a specific node in a tree through development and tried a few things but the solution wasn’t ideal, here is my scenario and solutions I tried so far:The tree is composed of three levels:Root - ContractLevel 1 - System IDLevel 2 - Subsystem ID  I’m trying to navigate to a specific subsystem id node, so when the page is open the subsystem id node is already highlighted and the nodes above it is expanded like the image below:  I’m using the parameter &filter passing Contract but I can’t pass System Id and Subsystem Id because they aren’t part of the root node. I tried using &treefilter where I put a searchcontext in my tree and this navigation “works” because it filter the list to the right but it doesn’t highlight the node I want and if I click in another node it doesn’t show anything because the values are still applied in the searchcontext. I tried using &searchcontext but nothing happens, maybe I’m using the wrong syntax in the URL

Hi, Does anyone know if IFS Cloud 23R2 or above is going to support the Microsoft Graphic API to send email?  Utilization of this API would allow us to eliminate a mail relay setup. Microsoft Graph API Information Regards,William Klotz

Hi, we have enabled Grafana in IFS Cloud using the IFS documentation, but other than this introduction https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/21r2/020_installation/010_installing_fresh_system/030_preparing_server/56_metrics_monitoring/ there doesn’t seem to be any overview of the existing dashboards and how to interpret them. Currently, the Grafana experience is very overwhelming and it is hard to understand how to use the different dashboards to find relevant information. Are there any additional guides about Grafana, and how to interpret the different IFS Cloud dashboards it comes with? 

Hi,Just Curious, Is there any way in IFS Cloud to track page configurations done by users, such as which configuration was changed, which projection it belongs to, and when it was changed?Any way to track it through the backendThanks in advance

Hello, I am trying to customize the Navigator.I have a some new pages in module SRVCON which are located under a core navigator entry. But I want to have it under a new navigator parent entry all together so I tried this:Customizing the core Navigator.client file:So I have defined ma parent in here and then in my own Client-file I want to use that parent,but all I get is this error:Seems like the compiler does not generate or not recognize the new navigator entry that I made.I checked documentation, but could not figure out that I miss something.

Hello, For our customer, we would like to connect multiple service organisations (around 15-20) to a dataset. Apart from the normal sizing recommendations, can this have an impact on PSO performance? Thank you very much,Iulia

Will an outstanding control plan analysis prevent the shipment of a part?

Hi Team I am receiving a warning while syncing the Aurena application. Could you please advise what steps I may take to fix this issue?For reference, I am currently using Apps 10 UPD25.RegardsAshish Ligam.

When a Sales Part is inactive (and its Sales Base Price is closed), IFS still allows it to be added to a Sales Quotation after displaying only a warning, whereas the same part is blocked on a Customer Order.Is this the standard IFS behaviour? Is there any standard configuration or recommended approach to completely prevent inactive/obsolete Sales Parts from being added to new Sales Quotations, or would this require a customization?Product Version: 23.2.17Business Impact: When a Sales Part is obsolete, it is still possible to select it within a Sales Quotation albeit with a warning message (this is not the case with Customer orders). The warning message is easy to miss so we would like to find a solution that prevents the part from being selected altogether.

I have a notification set up to notify next authorizer on Purchase Orders.Does that notify also for change orders?  We are using the full approval for change orders but I am being told they are not getting notified when a change order is out for approval.

Hello,We are evaluating Manufacturing Scheduling & Optimization (MSO, IC12816) and would like to clarify the differences between using MSO with and without IFS.ai.From the documentation, MSO appears to be available as a standalone product, while some references describe AI-powered scheduling, simulation, and scenario evaluation capabilities. However, it is not completely clear which functions require IFS.ai Activation Pass and which are available with standard MSO licensing.Could you please clarify the following?Can MSO (IC12816) be fully utilized without IFS.ai Activation Pass? What are the functional differences between: Standard MSO (without IFS.ai) MSO with IFS.ai Activation Pass Is there any official documentation or licensing guide describing the functional boundary between MSO and IFS.ai-related capabilities?Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

A. What is your idea?1) ClassificationChoose ONE: keep the applicable option and delete the rest.Opportunity for improvement New concept or idea2) Brief descriptionWhat happened, what is missing, or what could be better? Focus on the problem or opportunity (not the solution). Puropose an enhancement to the EMX system that introduces a “Print Part Tags” button within the physical inventory workflow. This button would: Be accessible before and after a shelf-level count is performed. Be located within the domain action menu of the count screen (or another easily accessible location within the workflow). Automatically generate and download a single PDF containing all necessary tags for the shelf being counted. Require no additional user input to download, leveraging the shelf-level association already present in the count. This enhancement would streamline the relabeling process and improve long-term inventory accuracy by making tag updates quick and effortless. B.

The Art of IndexingIn an online transactional database, administrators tend to avoid adding indexes because of their impact to inserts and updates. This is true in a laboratory setting, but a real-world system has to deal with a collection of concurrent workloads. OLTP ERP systems tend to be very read-heavy, in the neighborhood of 94% in my experience. Reducing the aggregate read load can free system resources, and if that means getting the system out of a heavily-loaded state, intelligently adding indexes can indirectly (and paradoxically) improve real-world write performance. Your mileage may vary. I recommend iteratively measuring the effects of tuning your own system rather than following any given recipe. "Match Case"Oracle string comparisons are case-sensitive, unlike Microsoft SQL or MySQL. This means the query hints in Enterprise Explorer do not accurately reflect the effects of the "Match Case" flag, since extra work is necessary to scrub the table's values to uppercase first,
