Remote Warehouse

Dear team,What functionalities will be missing if we define a Main Warehouse as a Remote warehouse? I’m trying to use user access control in Remote warehouse but I’m not sure it will drops some other functionalities/capabilities associated with main warehouses (non-remote warehouses).

Customers in waste & renovation - route optimization

Hi I have a potential customer within renovation and waste. They are requesting a demo of IFS possibilities  within route planning. I am planning on showing all the great functionality within IFS and PSO. But they have some specific requirements in regards to the route optimization, which I do not think PSO can handle. Do any of you have any experience with these sort of customers and if so, what kind of systems do they use for their route planning? These are examples of their input:Predict when the car is full and needs to visit the unloading place Specific zones within the city where we can not drive or are not allowed in a specific time interval Consider stop signs etc. within the city in the route planning Get a full route navigation considering all jobs that day.

IFS Cloud PSO Test Connection Failing

Hi,When testing the connection in IFS Cloud (24R2) to PSO (24R2), it keeps failing. Upon initial configuration, the following error appeared.  “Failed to connect to IFS Optimization server account Default. Error message was: 403 - Forbidden. The user IFSSCHEDULING and the parameters OpenIdAuthority, OpenIdClientId, UserNameClaim may need to be set up manually. Do you want to continue?” I’ve reviewed other community posts that had similar errors and they were able to resolve it by whitelising the IP addresses.  I’ve checked with the customer and they said that the environments are running on the same server and able to ping each other successfully.  Are there any other issues during setup that can cause this error? In PSO, the parameters are blank.

SE_UNHAUTORIZED on shop order standard operation add

Hello,Our Key Users for migration project (IFS 8 to IFS Cloud 24R1) report they can not add a standard operation to a shop order.  The HTTP code error is 403, here is the response body :  code: "SE_UNAUTHORIZED"internal: 2message: "Insufficient privileges."They all have a permission set named “IFS_ALL” which I ensure has all projections set as full granted on permission set tab.They can actually add an operation to a shop order, but not a standard operation from the dialog page (you can see the button command pressed on the operations tab)On Routing > Add standard operation, there is no issue.I did not found any affectation page related to shop order, as it can exist for BUYERS / PURCHASE team.I tried to debug the PLSQL code from the ShopOrderHandling projection but seems there is no exception thrown.I checked related subjects on community and it seems it is directly impacted by projections permissions, which I repeat, are all added to the key users role, with full access granted (a

Creating a Single Work Order with Multiple Work Tasks for Child Objects

How can I create a single work order for a parent object with multiple work tasks linked to individual child objects using a PM? For example, multiple child pole structures should be associated with a single circuit structure. The goal is to have the circuit as the main object in the work order, with the poles represented as objects in the corresponding work tasks.

Processing Supplier Consignment Invoices

Is there a simple way of processing Supplier Consignment stock invoices? Currently we provide the consumption reports to the suppliers but to match the invoices when they come through we have to search for all the different part and PO numbers and tick line by line what to match. This could be across multiple invoices and POs. Is there a function whereby you can select the receipts to match based on the consumption/reported date? With the aim that we’d request the supplier provide 1 invoice per consumption report.

Oracle 'Bad Depth Indicator' error in IFS10

Hi, We have started getting an Oracle ‘Bad depth indicator’ error when calling ‘Error_Sys.Record_General’ function from a custom event.   We have reported this to IFS support who in turn have raised this with Oracle support. Please see the long response from them below. In short they have concluded that it is intermittent and that they don’t know how to re create it. They have given us a workaround which is to re compile the affected packages.   Has anyone else seen this error? “ This was the full error stack we extracted when you were getting the error within purchase order lines.  ORA-64610: bad depth indicator ORA-06512: at line 16 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.FND_EVENT_ACTION_API", line 2186 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.FND_EVENT_ACTION_API", line 2304 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.ERROR_SYS", line 128 ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_CALL_STACK", line 99 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.ERROR_SYS", line 113 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.ERROR_SYS", line 119 ORA-06512: at "IFSAPP.ERROR_SYS", line 337 ORA-06512: at line 3 ORA-06512:

Posting M40 / Contrôle d'imputation M40

Hello dear community,I would like to monitor my work in progress using different accounting accounts (Raw materials, Consumables, Labour, Supplies, etc.).When I set up the M40 with a C124 control type, for example, the accounting entry for consumption on a shop order is made correctly on the different accounts. However, when the shop order is closed, the system displays an M40 charge control error stating that it can't find a control type and the only way to resolve this error at the moment is to set up an account in the posting header in the ‘Val def no TC value’ field. This means that you will then have to make a manual accounting entry to balance the various WIP accounts.Has anyone been able to find a control type for M40 that allows the work in progress to be tracked in detail on the same accounts when the shop order is issued and when the shop order is received?Please find the expected diagram in the attachment.

IFS Cloud24R2 - Report Designer: Déjà Vu fonts

Hi Report experts,I can see following in the IFS Cloud 25R1 Deprecation Log.Starting with IFS version 25R2, Monotype fonts (Arial, Arial Narrow, Courier, Garamond, Times New Roman) will no longer be included in IFS Report Designer and IFS Report Studio. To maintain consistency, Déjà Vu fonts will be used as the standard .My question is, what is the impact on custom Report Designer reports ( custom Report Designer reports built from scratch for customers prior to 25R2) in case customer will not have all these Monotype fonts after upgrading to 25R2?Is it just a matter of adding an entry to Report Fonts/Font Substitution ORAny manual Report Designer layout adjustments required for each custom Report Designer report?

Question on using a DynamicComponentReference in a customized entity

This is my scenario at the moment:I have created a custom component that has a utility file with a procedure (I will be using this procedure in the next step) I updated component “order” deploy.ini to include my custom component as a DYNAMIC dependency I customized an entity in the “order” component by adding a calculated field using “DbSqlImplementation” and called the procedure that is in my custom component. I made sure to use the “DynamicComponentReference” annotation After generating and deploying the customized entity in component “order,”  I received a PLS-00201: Identifier COMPONENT_{our cust component}_SYS.INSTALLED…. error - which would make sense because my updated deploy.ini from step 2 has not been installed yetQuestions:How do I get this to work and have a successful sanity build?

Information like software state, firmware versions, etc. Where is best to input that info so that it can be searched and shown when looking at Part Serial or even in Inventory? I know there are fields like Technical and Characteristics but not sure how I add those or what level of access i need on my profile.

Master Scheduling 1 parameters explained

So we are using MS Level 1 to essentially enter forecasts that will then drive demand signals to other sites. We have one internal supplier (finished goods) and various external suppliers (finished goods and raw material) setup in 4 different sites. We normally use distribution orders auto generate the required purchase reqs and shop order reqs that Supply Chain needs to fulfill the different demand and supply signals required through out our distribution and manufacturing network. One thing we have struggled to setup correctly and understand has been some of the parameters in Master Schedule 1 Part.We understand that every company has unique ways of handling Master Scheduling, but it is how you setup the parameters that makes a big different between trusting and not trusting the output you get from the Master Schedule.My question is simple: can some one explained to me exactly how the yellow highlighted fields and the red circled drop down options work and how they affect each other a
