Work for users would be much more effective, when there would be a command from competency group directly to competency details:
Hi everyone,We recently upgraded to 25R1 and some users in all our environments (development, test and production) get HTTP error 431 on particular IFS screens. Only our production environment uses single sign-on, the other environments are username/password based.A small number of users get the errors on viewing the details of assigned work tasks - those users get the error in all environments but other users do not get the error on the same screen. Some other users are getting the same error when viewing customer orders, but again it’s not all users.It was suggested that the LINKERD2_PROXY_OUTBOUND_SERVER_HTTP2_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE and LINKERD2_PROXY_INBOUND_SERVER_HTTP2_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE settings be increased to 65536 but this didn’t make any difference. It seems possible that the error may be from Cloudflare, as the browser developer log does not show any IFS trace information, but we’re not certain.Has anyone else seen these errors or have any suggestions on why they are ha
Hi,Is there anyone out there with the knowledge to help me solve this mystery?When fetching a dynamic Image stored as a BLOB in the data base into Report Designer and then previewing the report, there is a black background displayed on signatures created in a Service Work Task (fetched from ifsapp.JT_TASK_SIGNATURE) , but not on other objects fetched from Media Library (ifsapp.media_item). The signatures where the error is caused are all stored as BLOBS and when previewing them in Oracle SQL the background is white:Previewing BLOB in Oracle SQL.But when printing them on PDF, the background becomes black for some reason, while other BLOBs are presented with white background. In this sample the signature is printed twice (black squares with blue signature) and a BLOB presenting a coffee machine is printed correctly in the lower left corner as comparison. Previewing BLOB on PDF (Adobe or Microsoft Edge) through Report Designer.In Report designer the code for fetching both the coffee machi

When an employee category changes, we end the current Work Time Schedule line and create a new schedule line with a new validity date. However, when we update the "Time Registration Time Base" field, IFS Cloud overwrites the previous value instead of keeping the historical record. Is this standard behavior, or is there a way to retain the previous Time Registration Time Base history? We get this window to confirm before system makes changes, but we do not wish to update the old line we need to update the value only on new line created.can you please help?
Hello, I had a quick question. We are trying to reserve supplier material for a part but we keep running into this error message? Any thoughts? Does this have to do with the inventory availability planning? Thanks.
Hi,In the documentation of 25R2 it is mentioned that IFS comes with pre-packaged data migration definitions. These prepackaged migrations should consist of:The definition itself which is available upon manual installation of the PROD components as migration jobs in the form Overview - Migration Jobs An excel spreadsheet that may act as an input container for the data with additional information about fields, formats constraints, etc.I can see the migration jobs are there, but I can't find the Excel spreadsheet the documentation is referring to nor can I find a job that is able to create this. Does anyone more about this Excel spreadsheet?/Michael
Hi Community! Perhaps somebody has faced a similar issue and therefore I want to ask here.I have the following situation:The customer is using the normal absence limit for his vacation (30 days per year).Because of reasons I had to set up another Absence type for half-day vacation:This absence type has to share the limit with the normal annual allowance for vacation.To do this I went to “Absence Limit Definition”-Page:There I go to the normal vacation:And there I go to the Details:Here I have the possibility to share the limit in the header of the page:I enter the absence type which is used for the half day vacation:From my point of view the absence limit for Absence type for Absence type 300 should be reduced if I request absence type 324 (half day vacation).Let’s make an example:Right now my employee has 15,5 unused days (had to do some information black because of data security!)Now I enter a request for this employee:Now this request in in status Confirmed and I approve this one.In
We are upgrading from Apps9 to Cloud and have heavy integration with custom API’s for our WMS and Webstore. One function that we use to receipt purchase order currently is Receive_Purchase_Order_API.Packed_Arrival__. This no longer exists and I am unable to find an equivalent procedure to do this. Does anyone happen to know what call I need to use? I know that functionality is changing and converting to the new processes will be a 2nd phase project becuase of how much we have.
Hello, I was looking to use the new quick sight report functionality. II have defined a query for the report but for some reason I don’t see an option for the data member regarding my data source.

Hi, my customer is unable to successfully terminate an employee and is getting errors and warnings that don’t make sense to me. I’ve checked and verified that all assignments and other connections are dated correctly (including the former employment in another company). Does anyone of you have any ideas or come across this before? Thanks,Anna
We have used Vertex integration for US Sales Tax in Apps 9 for many years. Currently upgrading to IFS Cloud. Not sure what needs to be done to configure this and the IFS help is not much help! Anybody on here familiar with the setup/config?
In IFS Cloud, I migrated a large set of Resource groups.When I try to add a Person to a Resource Group, I get an error message stating : The Resource already exists. I get the same error when I try to add a new resource group manually. Has anyone encountered this error before ?
I see the column “Invoice Text” in the Supplier Invoices Analysis but I cannot figure out where are the data in this field pulled from? Where can I enter the text in Manual Supplier Invoice so that I can see it later in the “Invoice Text” in the Supplier Invoices Analysis report? It is in IFSCloud
I have a question. Is it possible to configure the repository of the "File storage" type in such a way that the files of attachments of different classes of documents are stored in different directories and not in one collective "Docman"?
Hello, I am wondering whether there is a given set-up on the inventory part, main part or anywhere else, where these parametres can be set. The point is that we want to have the structure depth: Full level And the “allow changes to DOP Structure”: ON Without the necessity to switch it once the DOP is created. Thank you,Best RegardsPetaKu

Field description is not working when I turn it on. Any suggestions?
We have several business units in our company and most of them need to identify specific custom attributes that only make sense to them. So rather than having a bunch of custom fields displayed that confuse or clutter up a page, we’ve assigned those business units to their own dedicated Context User Group so that we can make page configurations dedicated to how they function and view their data. But since its highly recommended that you never modify the global context, if we add a custom attribute to a page that everyone should have we repeat that page configuration for each context user group. So I’m looking to see if setting up a COMPANY defined context mapping is viable. If we make configurations to a page that is needed by all business units we assign them to a Company Context so all users would see it and wouldn’t have to repeat those configurations as well as re-baseline them. Problem that then occurs is no other PC can be assigned to a different context on this page.
We are having an issue with a service request invoicing. The issue occurs when we issue the material line, then unissue the material line as the component was not needed nor used.On material issue a sales line is created.On material unissue the sales line is not removed, a negative sales line is added.The issue is at time of invoicing, the system is attempting to invoice a $0 amount and stopping the process from moving forward. Wondering if we are missing something obvious, or if this is a bug? Screenshots below
We are attempting to use the Prototype Shop Order to create first run sample parts. As noted, a Prototype Shop Order does not use a buildable structure or routing, so while we do have structures and routings identified, they are in a Tentative status. We use standard costing for our manufacturing parts, however, with the tentative structures and routings, no cost can be calculated. Our parts are set up as Zero Cost Forbidden. We processed various shop orders under the prototype shop order and on our inventory transactions page, there was an inventory value given to the parts. I have looked at the shop order details, etc., and I am just not sure how an inventory value was calculated. It did not use actual or estimated, and it did produce an unfavorable variance. Please help me understand how an inventory cost was calculated.
