I am using Excel add-in for data migration most of the time no issues.in a few examples i need to do some data retrieval/lookup and have used an expression in the ‘default value’ column in the migration job.However, as yet i am struggling to do the same with a simple SQL select. Is it not possible or is my syntax incorrect. I have no guidance so I am making it up as a I go, I could be doing it incorrectly.I did write a select first in quick reports to prove it was correct, although it is so simple I did not really need to.When I click validate or execute - I don’t get any feedback, (the debug feature does not work) - but if I remove the select my other data updates - so something about my approach is failing. Thank you for any suggestions!  

We have used the RMA process to have parts returned from the customer for a long time but would like to consider using CRO because it would allow us to bring the part in as customer owned. When using an RMA there is an RMA document created that can be sent to the customer and is also what is used by receiving to know what to receive that part back in against. I am pretty new to the CRO process, but I do not see what is used to communicate with the customer similar to how an RMA document is used? Am I missing something?

I’m looking for some sort of materials to get trained on how to use the excel add-in tools for data migration. Would love to learn more about designing migration jobs, setting defaults, strategy, and more. I can’t seem to find anything on Community or Academy for resources. Where do you go to learn?

We have encountered that the "Close Operation" option in "Shop Floor Workbench" is only working when performed by User Id: IFSAPP USER However, when same action is attempted using a different user ID, with same permission grants the action is blocked by the system (Error message states user has not been granted with required permissions 

Hi, We are using IFS10 and time to time in backround job has warning : Error occurs when MRP snapshot Site DK10. Original error ORA-20115: BatchBalanceNode.FND_REMOVED: The "Batch Balance Node" has already been removed by another user.. Not even part number entered to warning.. Does anyone have idea, which kind of situation creates that warning?we use scheduled task chains and that warning comes in this step.  

Hello folks,Does anyone have a test scenario document (ideally with step by step instructions) that can be followed to test the Schedule of Work in IFS ? If you can please share some reference material, it would be very helpful. Thanks,Ash 

Hello, Occasionally, we will get errors in our incoming Application Messages for Supplier Invoices. We are utilizing a Pagero integration to retrieve and load Supplier Invoices. A majority of them are successful, but some Fail with error text: Field [FEE_CODE] is mandatory for Ext Inc Inv Tax Items and requires a value.When opening successful messages, the FEE_CODE is in the xml. For failures, it isn’t. Suppliers have resubmitted and indicate they’re using a standard format, but still no FEE_CODE. For Supplier submissions that don’t contain this value, can a customization be done to the transformer (or elsewhere in IFS) to make this not required?Thanks,Jeff NattermannBusiness Systems Analyst

Dear All,In EAM, when work task is allowed to have multiple visits and the assignment is transferred to mobile. When 1st Work assignment is set to ‘Incomplete’ or ‘completed’ the remaining assignments will be cancelled as shown in below screenshot.Where as in NGSM, when 1st work assignment is set to ‘Completed’ the remaining assignments will be in Accepted status as per below screenshot. When work assignment is set to ‘Incomplete’ the remaining assignments will be removed and will not appear in the Assignment Tab as per following screenshot.  Is there a way in EAM solution, some setting of some sort where we can configure that upon 1st Work Assignment completion the remaining assignments will be in ‘Accepted’ status same as NGSM after incompletion so that technician can use same chain for revisit. Work around found that on same work task we need to do the direct assignment so that new chain of visits to appear as per following screenshot -   IFS Cloud Version Details:Application servic

I have a client that is anticipating moving from Apps 10 to Cloud.  The main issue is that the parts may have been originally set up with the incorrect unit of measure. I know in the past we were able to set up translation tables in migrations to help accommodate this. Is it possible to use such a process to change an item’s or several item’s units of measure?  I’d also like to know how others have perhaps performed unit of measure changes on existing parts.  Thanks!

We are wanting to start to use the project function within IFS Cloud, has anyone got any guidance on how to start to set it up. Currently, we really only need it for analysis purposes - we are not trying to collate it to invoice it.So the easiest way to get started is what we need at the moment,

We have just started using the fixed asset functionality on IFS Cloud.We have numerous assets with the same object group, however, we would like only the depreciation to use different departments when creating the depreciation proposal.I have tried setting up a preposting (as i note in previous chats this has been advised), using the code part distribution and adding what i wanted, however, this does not pull through onto the depreciation proposal Any ideas?

Dear Team,Am having a question, where i ahve an attachments on my customer invoice screen but when i check the invoice voucher on the GL voucher row screen, i do not see the attachments from invoice.

HiI’m interested to have an understanding of the everyday life after the move to Cloud version and how you keep up with the IFS releases and upgrades.Many customers seems to go the “update once a year” route to get to the latest release. Much depends of course of the scope you are using the platform for and how are the borders of each customer’s ICT systems set and integrated with each other.Our IFS scope is pretty basic, mostly finance/ERP with purchasing and project related activities and HR master system, adn we have just moved from Apps9 to 10.I’m interested of you who have already moved from different Apps-versions to Cloud or even you who have moved directly from other system to IFS Cloud, and your views about the adaptation to the new everyday life.What has changed in areas of the amount of IFS/partner support needed, the amount of your own work needed to keep up with the releases and even the spend changes for doing all of this.I’m having doubts we can keep it running efficient

Hi heros,I am getting the error below when trying to connect to IFS Cloud using MS Project. Any idea? Thanks, Gianni Neves

Two stage RFQ and Quotation available in IFS cloud? The two-stage RFQ process involves the submission by the suppliers of a technical quote and a commercial quote. The technical quotes are opened and evaluated first to determine a list of qualified suppliers, and only then are the commercial quotes of the qualified suppliers opened and evaluated.

We are trying to delete an inventory part because it was entered incorrectly and are getting the following error message.  

We have reporting rules set-up to process individual payment advice prints.However, it appears that, when you make a BACS payment run, it doesn’t split the payment advice up into seperate Print Jobs. You just get one big file with all the suppliers details in. We want to e-mail each supplier their individually - has anyone had this issue/found a workaround/solution?

In IFSAPP10, this table object is being updated and we don’t no why? Why would this table object be updated (SECURITY_SYS_REFRESH_USER_TAB)? There are no records in the table at this time. Does it get effected by a security refreash?Need to know for audit purposes. Thank you.

We are currently using IFS Applications 10 (UDP 10), and we would like clarification on how to properly handle "Other Charges" such as Customs Duty that are invoiced by a different supplier than the one supplying the goods on the Purchase Order.Scenario:Goods are ordered from Supplier A via a standard Purchase Order.Customs Duty is incurred as an "Other Charge" on the PO.The duty is invoiced separately by Supplier B (e.g. a customs broker or freight forwarder).We want the customs cost to be included in inventory valuation and cost of goods, but the actual invoice is from a different supplier than on the PO.Questions:What is the recommended way in IFS Applications 10 to:Add such "Other Charges" to a PO?Ensure correct accounting and costing (including inventory value)?Book the customs invoice from Supplier B correctly?Is there a standard process or best practice for this scenario (e.g. use of manual supplier invoices, linking to posting control, or landed cost configuration)?

Does anything currently exist that allows two orders to be linked or associated. Currently we have multiple orders that are associated based on Customer, or work requirement and it would be advantageous to have something that allows us to see the orders together.

Question:Has anyone run into this issue where the Payment Advice PDF does not get attached to the application message/email, even though the report exists in the archive and can be printed?Do I need to do something additional in Report Designer?Could this be related to how Attachments are linked in Event Actions?Any guidance or examples would be much appreciated!Created a new Empty_ADV payment formatSet the ‘Generate Payment Advice’ = TrueCreated a new payment method for Wire_ADV using the Empty_ADV Payment format Report Definition – Uniform_Payment_Advice***If we use the same rdl file for two companies, both companies will receive the remittances for each other.These are the steps that were done but not sure if something needs to be done in Report Designer.Exported the ACG_Suriname_Advice.rdl save to downloads folderRename to Saudi_Advice.rdlIn Report Definition –> Layout DefinitionsCreate New LayoutLayout Name = Saudi_Advice.rdlLayout Title = Saudi_AdvicePaper Format = Dynamic A4/

Dear Finance experts, I’m testing the intercompany material flow and everything goes well  until I send the Customer Invoice in company A to company B.Connectivity Out Message is created and transferred.Connectivity In message - company B - fails with error message: ORA-20111: UserFinance.RECNOTEXIST: Access denied! User IFSAPP is not connected to Company B In case I don’t wanna grant access to IFSAPP to all the companies, is there any other way to setup the Outbox / Inbox messages so that they are run by another user?

Reverse bidding, or a reverse auction is available in IFS cloud?  Reverse bidding, or a reverse auction, is a procurement process where suppliers compete to win a buyer's contract by offering progressively lower prices for a product or service. Instead of buyers bidding up the price, as in a traditional auction, sellers in a reverse auction bid prices down. This method drives down costs for the buyer, who then awards the contract to the supplier with the lowest qualified bid.

Hi,I recently got a new 25R1 repository in IFS Scope Tool and I downloaded the 25R1-Data Tracker Template File.What I found is that values are missing in Basic Data sheet - column K (Global/Company/Site). This is very valuable information for us since we are going to implement IFS to a multi Country/Company solution.Also we are also missing the entire Master Data Tracker sheet.My question is if there will be a second release of 25R1 Data Tracker Template including the missing values and the Master Data sheet?Kind Regards,Christian
