We are using the IFS Demand Plan Client v6.0.3.Our planning team forecasts demand by fiscal week, but sometimes they would like to review the data rolled up to the fiscal month. As is common, our fiscal months do not line up with calendar months, but are groups of our fiscal weeks - in our case in a 4-4-5 weekly grouping.We have the period version on our server set to Weekly, and we have been able to define the correct fiscal weeks for planning. But, when the timeline is changed in the DP client to display Monthly, the system appears to divide the weekly numbers by days, determine how many days are in the calendar month, and then sum those days to give a calendar "monthly" total, instead of grouping the fiscal weeks. We've been told by our technical team that we can change the period version on the server to Monthly to define the months correctly, but we would have to trash all the current flows, lose all history, and then it’s likely that the weeks will not be correct.

In the supplier payment proposal there is an option to do a supplier offset if there is a credit. This will take out the credit note out from the payment proposal and the payment advice / remittance will only show the amount that will be paid. (which is correct)Is there any way to show the credit note number and amount that was offset against the invoice in the footnote of the payment advice or is this a customisation ? 

Is there any way of calculating the capacity to manufacture workforce with the HR calendar and HR cycles that are not Day Dependant ?  For instance a cycle like that, : for example, a cycle like this, with a volume of hours But when we start the event of calculing the capacity, we have the same error “The Use HR schedule box is ticked, but it is not used with a valid programme”. Is there a simple solution ?Thanks for advance

My sales team is using Business Opportunity to add lines and only moving to Sales Quotation when the quote is ready to be generated for the customer. They wish to see “Available Qty” on Opportunity Lines just like the native field displays on the Sales Quotation Lines. It doesn’t appear I can create a simple read only reference field for this and need a select statement. I haven’t been able to get one to work, can someone offer assistance?

Can anyone help me to understand why am I loosing the reference from the lastscreen controlkey ?  I’m not sure which one I should use: getcurrentkey or getcontrolvalue. For me is not clear. Anyhow it is not fetching the selected Attribute from the list. Any ideas ?

Hi all,We’re on Cloud 23.2.0I have added a new persistent field “Task Chargeable” in the entity - JtTask and it works fine on the below page (Work Task Debrief page on Tech Portal). The system saves the change of value on the field correctly.  But when I add the same group (WORK TASK REPORT IN GROUP) to the main page, and when I try to toggle the value, it doesn’t save the changes. But any other field in the same group if I change the value it saves. Does anyone know why it doesn’t save the value changes? Thanks.

Hi,We've encountered an issue within Workflow User Form, specifically in the header and labels, where using locales other than 'en', it does not seem to work as expected. We're trying to implement Norwegian language support, and we've used the standard locale code 'no' for Norwegian. However, the resulting dialog does not display in Norwegian as it should.We've attempted the following configuration in the Workflow User Form:  Despite this setup, the dialog with Norwegian language selected, the Workflow User Form appears as follows:Are 'en' for English and 'no' for Norwegian the correct locale codes for the header and labels in a Workflow User Form? Has anyone else experienced th

So, I am creating a Transport Task From Site 1, Location A to Site 2 Location B (which has a drop off Transit location X).  The Transport Task applies the the drop off location and moves the part accordingly but it does not create another transport task automatically from Drop off Transit location X to Location B. What could be the reason? All previous Transport Tasks are on executed status.I have checked this in App10 and Aurena/Cloud also.

Hi Community,My customer is facing a problem when loading in external file. They are trying to read in a text file with file type .dav but the system gives ‘’restricted file type’’ -error. However, the workaround they have been using is to just rewrite the file type form .dav → -csv after which the system allows the file.Does anyone have any idea why doesn’t the external file template allow the file type .dav?In the input file load file type we have allowed all file types. Also, it was tested to only allow .dav files but neither works for this. 

Hi Team,I’m using the Attachment functionality in mobile to capture attachments for ESCALATION table.From the  mobile screen by using the Attachment icon of (user_def13 field inside escalation table).After uploading  an attachment and while saving  the record , the data inserted in to user_def13 field as a negative integer value such as -1, -2, etc., in the DB instead of the filepath.To solve this issue, we followed the below steps:1-We created a table called "c_escalation_attachment."2-In that, we added columns attachment ID, escalation ID, and c_user_def1.Then, we mapped the relationship, one with the escalation table and one with the attachment table.Then, in the default definition, we mapped c_user_def1 with the attachment_name of attachment table.After that, we also mapped the c_escalation_attachment table in the escalation table.Then, in the mobile version, we added the same c_user_def1 as the attachment fie

Hi everyone,Is it possible (with IFS Developer Studio) to create LOV not displaying ID (key), only description?On below screen there is blue marked ID and red marked Description.I’d like only description visible to user and ID only save to DBLOV code in .client file looks like below  lov CustomerIdRef with CCustomerInfoSelector2 {      description = "${CustomerIdRef.Name}";   }This is simple example based on CustomerInfo  but in real i have dictionary with ugly keys (GUID) and i do not want to show it to users :)I think i need LOV instead for example Lookup because i need to filter LOV2 based on choosen value from LOV1.Thanks
