Hi,The company I work for builds racing cars and we would like to exchange with users that have been able to manage successfully product structures with different options / configurations per customer and by product (cars in our example).We would like to be able to deal differently with the purchasing depending on the parts and the assembly order.We would like a picking stategy/order that depends on the structure.We would like to follow the missing parts to focus on the priority parts depending on assembly.We would like to have a multi-level structure per parts, assembly, full assembly and full car.Can anyone share their experience if you have been able to implement it in IFS ?Thanks and Regards,Anne-Sophie

Hello,We are a new user for IFS and currently in the build stage.I am looking at the verification of UK VAT numbers.Is it right that I need to personally register for HMRC developer hub account to get a Client ID and Secret?I’ve been able to query HMRC’s test API and successfully verify their test VAT number, but I am not 100% sure that I should be getting a developer ID and secret for this.I do note that the HMRC “Check a UK VAT number API” version 2.0 requires authentication.I just can’t believe that every company who has IFS needs to register a HMRC developer account to be able to use this functionality.Thank you,

Hi,When we create a customer e-invoice based on a customer order based on work orders,  information from all the underlying work orders are sent along the invoice as a separate attachment (named “invoice_specification”). This is a big problem for us as the work orders contain internal information that we don’t want the customers to see. We just want to send the invoice to the customers. How can we prevent the attachment with all the work order information to be created and attached to the customer e-invoice?Thank you,David

Hi all,I was little surprised  that we dont have any screen in IFS which can tell me to historic inventory transaction and inventory on hand at that time….  I was looking the “ inventory Transaction History ”I am able to see the inventory transaction but it does not have any field which will tell the running total ??? Can any one tell me if such functionality is exist  but i am not just aware of it? 

Hello, I have been asked to set up automatics ACH payments in IFS. Is there any resources out there on how to do this? I am not finding anything. Please keep in mind that Finance is not my area of expertise when answering. Thanks.

Hi everyone. Just wondering whether it is possible to use a *.csv file with the relevant information in to bulk upload Business Activities into IFS cloud, rather than have to enter each one individually. Thanks 

We have implemented Master Scheduling in IFS Cloud to support raw material forecasting and procurement planning. We have registered all purchasing parts as MS Level 1 parts and import forecasts through a migration job based on our own forecasting logic. We would like to understand whether there is any standard functionality available that can recommend or automatically suggest changes to existing Purchase Orders before creating new requisitions.For example:If forecast demand moves earlier, can IFS recommend bringing existing Purchase Orders forward? If forecast demand moves later, can IFS recommend postponing or pushing back existing Purchase Orders? Can Master Scheduling generate action messages for rescheduling open Purchase Orders instead of creating new supply proposals? Are there any standard planning parameters or setup options that support this process?Our objective is to optimise existing supply orders first and reduce unnecessary new requisitions when demand dates change.Any g

After upgrade to 24R1 i receive this information toaster message occasionally. I always get them when i log in, and then approximately one time each 10 minute. Message says “Unable to subscribe to notifications. You will not receive new notifications”. However i do still receive notifications. This issue is from a customer environment, and i have not seen it in other environments on 24R1. At least some other users have the same issue. Any ideas on why i get this message?  

If anyone has knowledge regarding the subject matter, I would appreciate your guidance.Currently, my understanding is that by enabling “Report Planned Costs” on the subcontract contract side, the contract amount would be reflected as planned costs in the project activities. However, this is not occurring in our case.Therefore, could you please advise on the following points?(As I am not very familiar with accounting, I would appreciate it if you could advise on what kind of configurations are required to achieve this.)The prerequisites and required settings to reflect planned costs in project activities Any missing configurations or operations that may be required ■Accounting-related settings that may be relevant ■ Enabling “Report Planned Costs”   ■ Planned costs are not reflected in the activities

Hello.I have created the following element for users to select the required date, this then navigating the user to the same lobby, however populating the WANTED_DATE parameter.I can get this to work with items that are not dates in the same way.Is there anything that needs to be added, modified within the associated Element??Any help is greatly appreciated,Cheers,Jamie

Dear IFS Automation Team,we are running remote deployment of IFS Cloud 23R2SU7 and we would like to test ML interfaces for Expenses and Invoices. Some time ago I got attached document how to configure ML with 23R1. Can you pls. provide the same for 23R2? As technical documentation seems to be silent about the configuration;-(  Thanks Jan

Hi,Since we installed 23R1 we have the possibility to create a button linked to a BPA.But we noticed that in this case all the errors will be raised with the same message : If you launch a standard flow with standard errors you won’t see the right message. Instead you have this generic message shown in the screen shot.Is there a way to show the right error message or is this a bug that should be fixed ?Thank youFabrice

Dear IFS TeamWhile testing the  Warehouse Route Order on Bin level, I’ve noticed that the Pick List for the Shipment will not be sorted according to the Route Order logic when the Source Ref Type is “Shipment Order”.For the other common objects like Customer Order, Shop Order or Material Requisition it works fine.I guess this is due to the fact that Shipment Order is a “new” function in IFS Cloud.Can someone from the IFS Team verify whether this is an official gap?BR Nikola  

Hey all,So, like almost everyone, I’m pretty new to Report Studio in IFS Cloud. We have been using Crystal Reports and because that is getting deprecated, I’m having to learn it pretty quickly.Anyway, there have been two things whilst making the laser check print, that should have been easy to do, but weren’t, and because I couldn’t find them, I thought I’d share.The first was the payee address, this was coming out as a single line, which is less than ideal. After a week, I brute forced it after adding a calculated field to the ADDRESS_LINE table, with the data member as the ADDRESS_LINE and the expression as [].Join( [PAYEE_ADDRESS], Char(10) ). Nowhere in the documentation, does it explain this, especially that part where [] is the data member.The second part was the amount. We pad the start with asterisks, but the format would not stick for whole numbers, so, 1200 would not come out as ****1200.00 even though I had the format setup. After a day of trying I came up with this:Iif(Roun

We have been using the Detail Statistics pages in IFS Cloud 24R2 to report Invoiced Sales, Order Entry, etc, it’s a differential update report, so if there are no changes, it doesn’t update the lines. Someone in the organization has updated the name of a large customer, and so now, we have two customer names associated with the customer number in the Detail Statistics.I’m wondering how we could force it to update the lines. I’m guessing with a deletion migration job? BUt I wondered if there was a less scorched earth approach.

Hi everyone,I’m trying to confirm two things about standard IFS functionality on Business Opportunities and Projects. ​​ Can a Business Opportunity be connected to or converted into a Project (in the Project Management Module)?  Does the Opportunity status matter? For example, can an Opportunity in Closed, Won, or Lost status still be converted to a Project, or does it need to be in a specific phase? note that I am using IFS cloud 25R2 V4 environment to test this out. If anyone can confirm whether this functionality exists in standard IFS (Apps 10 or Cloud), and under what conditions the command appears, I’d appreciate it.Thanks!Sachitha D

Hi,When we employ contractors that are linked to a PO, the cost of that PO is automatically charged to the related project when the contractor register it's time to that project.However, we do not seem to have the option, or at least I am not aware of it, to change this behavior. For regular employees, there are several costing options available. For example, the project cost can be based on the resource group cost instead of the employee’s actual cost.I would like to apply the same setup to contractors. When a contractor is assigned to a resource group, I want the project to be charged based on the resource group cost rather than the direct PO cost.Is there a way to achieve this?Thanks!

I’m trying to create a lobby element that counts the number of active sessions, the number of logged in active users.Looking in function ‘IAM Sessions Per Client’ I can see that Projection IamSessionHandling is used for this purpose, listing active sessions in a specific IAM client.However, when trying to use this projection in a Lobby Datasource it is not possible to enter a ‘Data Root’, there doesn’t seem to be any entitysets for this projection?Does anyone know how I can use this projection, or if there are any other ways to display the number of active users.IFS 25.1.9 

Hi, i wonder if someone can share experience of using Report Studio instead of, or in combination with, report designer.BR Håkan

I am trying to use the ReceiveEinvoiceService rest endpoint to pull in supplier invoices.  I have 2 attachments that I would like to associate with the invoice.  One attachment is a pdf of the original invoice that we received from the supplier.  The other attachment is a csv file for the data we were able to OCR from the pdf.  My end goal is to have IFS receive the invoice details and for it to show up in the External Supplier Invoices section so that an end user can match the invoices to purchase orders and receivers. On my end, I know the unique identifiers from the Oracle Tables -> Supplier (the Supplier_Id column inside of the Supplier_Info_Tab table) and the Company (the Company column inside of the Company_Tab table).   Based on the documentation, I can use the SupplierIdentity to specify the Supplier and the CustomerIdentity to specify the Company on the request.   For my test scenario, the supplier is associated to multiple companies in IFS, but the invoice itself is only f

Hi, I want to send a data file from IFS Cloud to a Google Cloud Service Bucket using their REST endpoint. The google rest endpoint is authenticated via the OAuth 2.0 JWT mechanism, where the client has to create a signature using the given private key and send it to Google for authorization of the request. In IFS Cloud routing addresses, only REST Client ID & Client Secret Authentication (Basic Authentication) is supported, not JWT. Is there another way to authenticate using JWT in IFS Cloud? Best Regards,Charitha

Hi All,What’s the best practice in IFS cloud to integrate with WMS? Is there recommended integration projections that we can use?In pervious versions, we were using WMSINT that contain 6 messages to make the integration work between IFS and a WMS work. We would like to know which projections can be used as replacements for this?More information on WMSINT can be found in this topicWMS Integration | IFS Community
