Hello,Surely, I must be missing something.  I have a document(s) attached to Project Definition but I cannot view the document from the attachments pane.  The eyeball isn’t there.  I don’t have a problem using view document from the document revision itself.  Any ideas what would cause this?  Patrick

Dear Colleagues,I encountered an issue with Sales Contract reporting Planned Revenue. There are 4 contracts and only one does not report Planned Revenue. The settings are the same - posting rules, Revenue Codes, definiton of items, etc. TEST is the last one which I created from the scratch with the same settings as W-0002.   The prerequistions for reporting Planned Revenue seem to be fullfilled:  Any ideas for further checking are very welcome :)Thanks in advance.

Hello, everyone, I am working for a customer who has a PSO/IFS Cloud integration.I would like to define the average travel speed for the Central London area. The purpose is that the same technicians can operate all over London, but there are some areas ( like central London area) where such technicians must travel slower than other areas. Can anyone help me?Thanks

Hi, We are struggling with our setting of a DOP within a project. For some parts, which are set to “pegged”, want that IFS looks at the standard stock first. If we have it, we don’t need to make or buy it.But we notice that our DOP only looks at the project stock, which is off course empty. So he makes PR’s/SO’s for everything, without looking at the standard stock. How can we solve this?

We are trying to enter a Supplier for Purchase Part Record - supplier is set up as US$ and when we enter the part the Price Info comes up as US$ however as soon as we hit save it switches to CDN$ and it won’t let us change it. We need this to be US as the supplier and the purchase is to be in US

We are currently using a process where we use Warehouse Data Collection to issue a serialized part to a shop order. The part in question can be used up to 4 times with 4 different serial numbers. In our application, once we issue the 4 serial numbers, the part is built and those serial numbers are permanently covered and will not be able to be seen again without completely destroying the part.The question I have is if anyone has an idea of how we can sequence the issue of these parts to know which order they were scanned in? The reason is that I want to know the orientation of the serialized parts in the final assembly (Ex: Left to right is serial 2, 4, 7, 5). I would ideally want some sort of way for my operator to identify that this scan is the left most position, this scan is the second from left, and so on.Let me know if you need any clarification or is you have any ideas. Anything would help!

How to Track Work In Process in a ProjectI am working with a ship builder that has the requirement to track work in process as it moves from one work area to another. Think of large modules of a ship that may move to various areas. The manufactured components are then assembled together into a piece of work an process. It is not yet a finished item, but the customer wants to be able to locate that item somewhere in the facility, Oh let's complicate this a be=it more. The module that has been assembled may not have a part number.A long time ago, in a galaxy far away I worked on the project for the US Army at an arsenal that manufactured Howitzer cannons. They also wanted the ability to track the cannon tube (barrel) from the foundry, through all its manufacturing steps an assembly steps.We were un the midst of degning a process to do this but then the US Army put the project on hold.What creative solution have you seen or devised to more accurately tracking of work in process at the LOC

We need to import payments from a payment broker through the External File interface. But the file amounts are created with the thousand separator dot (.). We have tried to remove the dot using formulas in the External File Template Details section but with no result. On all rows with high amounts the status turns to “Unpack error” and the error message is “ character to number conversion error”.We would very much prefer to load these files without having to manipulate them before they are imported.Please advice!

​@Alexander Heinze probably you’ll be able to answer this one.Is there any way to handle subcontracting usecase in NGSM using Requests? In ESM/EAM you can have subcontractors added to the work orders → generate Purchase Orders → contractors could execute the Work Task using B2B portal.In NGSM 24R2 I couldn’t find anything similar. If this feature is not available yet, do you have any idea if it’s on the roadmap? 

When duplicating a customer order line, why does the price not also get copied over? The quantity does but not the price. Our units are second hand so the price varies so we do not have fixed pricing on our sales part. What is currently happening is the price of £0.00 on our sales part is what is populating the Price on the duplicated line rather than the price from the line it was copied on. is there a way to change this, selecting price freeze doesn't seem to stop this.

Hi, I can’t find any documentation related to IFS App 10/IFS Cloud or IFS in general on what are the standard VAT codes and VAT codes setup.I’m new to IFS, used to be using SAP ERP where it was much clearer to me. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!

Can you peg/un-peg parts through the purchase order line?  I know you can manually peg through the customer order line or shop order, to an incoming PO but as a procurement team we would like the ability to manually peg a purchase order line to a customer/shop order via the PO.

We are in the progress of planning the update from IFS Cloud 24R1 to 24R2. At the same time we would like to apply SU3. I have searched far and wide for guidelines but came up short. Our rough plan now is to first apply the RU and then apply the SU before creating the delivering to Use Place.Is there any best practices or guidelines available? Does anyone like to share their experiences?

We have previously taken a Out-of-band (OOB) fix for a critical bug that has been resolved in a SU. We have taken the SU when it was release. Before taking the SU, we obsoleted the files in our solution repository.Is it possible for us to completely remove the customisation files now after we have taken the SU and we are back on “core level” for these entities? This will obviously also apply for any other customisation, not only for OOBs.

Hi,In Apps10, there was a possibility to add a custom menu to open a Business Reporter reports as below. When the action type ‘Report’ is selected, BR reports are also available to select. However, in IFS Cloud, when adding a command through page designer, BR reports are not listed under any of the report types. Is there any other way to fulfil the requirement of opening a BR report from IFS Cloud, via a button, link or by any other mean except through Order report?Best Regards,Nisansala
