Hello,Can someone explain me the functionality in AFP. In AFP for an example if I have multiple applications created (1,2,3,etc.) why is it always need to certify the value in application 1 before proceeding the certification in application 2. And what is the reason for considering the cumulative value of the application above applications if we try to certify an individual application separately.Is there a workaround for allowing single applications to be billed separately without taking the cumulative effect.Thank you!
We are using PSO 6.16.0.61 with FSM Smartclient. We deploy distribution (delivery) drivers as well as technicians to customer locations. Only technicians are being scheduled in PSO. All active technicians have assigned shifts in PSO and are in rotas. However there are times when technicians are driving delivery trucks (random days) on days when they also have their normal tech shifts in the PSO rota - as desired, they aren’t getting any service work because the truck selection they make at logon via mobile to FSM relates to a non-tech skill (techs must have the appropriate technician truck skills in order to get work assigned through PSO).The problem is that in the scenario above the team that oversees review of the PSO Scheduling Resource Gantt just sees technicians with schedulable shifts, logons and logoffs, but no assigned work when the tech is driving a delivery truck (since delivery work not assigned through PSO without appropriate truck skill).What is a good way to change the vi
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!
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?
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 want to give access to a user to Multi-company external supplier invoice. How can I do it?
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.
