Is it feasible in Cloud to restrict the available choices from a dropdown? For example, per below we only want “Shipment and Customer Order” to be the available choice. We found it invaluable in Apps9 to prevent incorrect selection/setup. (Actioned here in Apps9)
What are all the setup’s required to automate the payment file transfer from IFS to Bank (Outbound) and for the Inbound (CAMT54 file) from bank to IFS

HiThe customer sends me materials to produce. In IFS, I enter this as customer-owned material. Then I produce it and sell it as customer-owned material and receive a labor fee.At present, the customer sent me the relevant materials that need to be repaired. As a return, I have to enter the materials, repair them and send them back.How can I deliver the products owned by the customer to my warehouse by entering a return record according to the sales order? This is not allowed on the sales item return screen.
Dear experts,We are in the process to implement Project Budget (Forecast) functionality for one of our client who is in Project based manufacturing business.I understand that Project Budget functionality only controls Procurement related transactions against a pre-defined active budget, however, system is not checking Project budget for Purchase Order/Purchase Requisitions generating for outside operation on Shop Order releasing.Though, system properly updating Planned Committed Cost, Committed Cost for Shop Order but not updating Purchase Order related cost on project.Not sure whether I am missing some setup.@Marcel.Ausan @Buddhika Kurera @matt.watters

Hello,Our DBA was running diagnostics on our production database server using sql-constanctcare and it identified the following db tables that would benefit from having the indexes identified below created.

Hello everyone,I have a nested cutom entity under ProductStructureComponent : I want that when I delete a Product Structure Component line, the nested entity lines linked are also removed. Do you know a way to do that ? I tried using a workflow but wouldn’t manage to trigger the workflow on ProductStructureComponentArray line removal. If using a workflow is the only way to delete associated records, can you let me know what projection or event can I use to trigger it please ? Thank you
Hi,We are currently running IFS apps 10 Update 23 and are looking at moving more of our custom integrations to REST API’s. When you create a new custom field in IFS a cfp / cfv / cft is automatically created in the oracle database. I have an integration method that updates a custom field on distribution order. If I try to use the standard modify call (distribution_order_api.modify__) this will not work if the DO is closed. If I use the cfp.modify__ this will work OK in oracle.The issue I have is that I cannot see a way of calling cfp through a REST API.Is there a way I can do this? Or if not is there a way I can update a field on a DO if the DO is closed using REST without somehow re-opening the DO?Many Thanks,Dan

Is it needed to keep the ifsadmin account active in an IFS Cloud installation? After customer has setup users that has admin access, they want to disable it.

My customer is using IFS Cloud 23R2 SU10and the error,Error stack:Uncaught (in promise): r0: {"headers":{"normalizedNames{},"lazyUpdate":null}, “status":500," statusText":"Internal Server Error"is encountered when trying to generate/ export one quick report. Sometimes, the report does not contain any records when generated (whereas the same parameters result in several records when executed in the backend) or the frontend displays a less number of records than the backend or a client error when trying the export the records.This issue only happens with one of the sites and the report does not have any issue when working with the other sites. Therefore, I suspect that this might be a data issue related to the site the customer is having the issue with.Could someone please help with how to narrow down/ the next steps?Thanks in advance!
Hi All, Looking for your thoughts in here. My client wants to have an acknowledgement step to the project manager in the Purchase requisition.I have set up an “Authorization Routing Template” with a project role for PM and role as “Acknowledger”. Created PR authorization rule as below. This rule is only applicable to Project connected PR s only. Rule will trigger for the PR s between GBP 11-250. I set up the PM in the Purchase authorization basic data window as an Acknowledger as well. But when I create a PR with a project connection ( which include the Project manager), and when I try to release the PR it gives me below error. Interesting thing is, when I change the “Authorization Role” to Authorizer in the Approval routing template as an Authorizer and then change the purchase authorizer basic data PM to Authorizer, PR is taking the correct authorization step. BUT this time its an Authorization instead of Acknowledgement. Could this be a bug? Or did I miss something.Any help is hi

I want to filter inventory locations based on site/contract in the manufacturing tools → tool instance. I have created a custom LOV attribute for location and added it to the page. I was also able to create a filter based on a hard coded site/contract value and this works.But I want to pass the site/contract value listed in the tool instances tab to filter Inventory locations.I need help to figure out the syntax to pass the site value to the filter. Please let me know.
Hello IFS SpecialistsOne of our project controllers tried to change the activity sequence in the demand line because he had initially created the project supply request in the wrong activity. The requisition is still in the planned state. So in my opinion, he should be able to change the activity in IFS for the requestion as shown [My testing doesn't recreate the error so far] but getting the shown error. He could use a workaround like deleting the requisition and proceed. But I am wondering why this way isn't working. The screenshot is from an IFS Ref environment [24.1.3] Thanks,Asela
Hi IFS folks,we started piloting of Notify me mobile app with IFS Cloud 23R2 (remote deployment) and I would like to share our experience here so far.The high level message is that the app works and it does the job, so pls. consider this as a customer feedback to IFS(or rather mix of tips and hints) to improve this app further and fascinate the target user group. We'd be happy to collaborate further on improvement ideas.1. Infrastructure PerspectiveSetup Infrastructure/IFS Configurationtechnical documentation is quite good and containing a lot of fragmented info however might be even more appreciated if containing a practical step by step user guide with screenshots to make the mobile apps working for managed cloud and/or remote deployment, something like: “To make mobile apps working on remote deployment you need: Public or VPN access to your IFS installation Setup Azure Identity provider (if you want to use Single Sing On) Enable IAM clients Activate Native pods on MTS (if not by
