In Business Opportunity Pipeline Chart, you can apply filters and generate the filtered list of Business Opportunities below the chart. I can enable editing of the Business Opportunities list on this page, but any changes do not flow to the actual Business Opportunities. Is it possible to link these?Ideally, we’d like to conduct cadence calls using this screen and edit the Business Opportunities at the same time.Thanks!
Following a go live onto IFS Apps 10 for a part of our business that uses composite (mixed goods) tax codes we are experiencing issues with our Tax Proposal process. Due to the number of tax codes set up (approx 2000 codes ranging from UK0000 to UK2000) the standard UK Vat Return template (S089) was amended to use selection based on Tax Subgroups.Up until this point the tax proposal was completing and capturing all tax transactions for the period specified.Since this change and the increased number of transactions the tax proposal includes transactions up to UK0567 and then stops.This leaves all other tax transactions unconnected to a tax proposal. This happens regardless of the number of transactions (which varies from 58,000 to 143,000 per month). We are currently running monthly tax proposals. This stop at the same tax code has happened consistently for several months.We have checked:Tax codes are mapped to the relevant tax subgroups (Tax template field control) Tax codes are map
A user created a request and managed to append the text '_2' to the numeric request_ID.The linked tables also have the complete request_ID '26981_2'.The request was probably created on the mobile.Is it possible that an index is appended due to a conflict of the ID?Is it possible for a user to manually overwrite the request_id?
A customer submits a service request for the inspection and repair of serialized equipment that has broken down at their site. The company logs the service request in IFS Cloud and assigns a technician to visit the customer's location. Upon inspection, the technician determines that the equipment cannot be repaired onsite and must be sent to the company's workshop for further repairs. At the workshop, the required materials are issued from inventory, and the technician records the time spent on repairs. Once the repairs are complete, the equipment is shipped back to the customer.The proposed solution involves creating a customer order linked to the service request, which then generates a work order (WO). The supervisor assigns the work task to a technician, who visits the customer's location to inspect the equipment. The technician determines that the equipment cannot be repaired onsite, it is shipped to the company workshop for further repairs. However, I am uncertain about the best a
We use PSO for our Field Service team are considering using it within our Repair Centre to schedule machine refurbishment work. Initial tests seem to show this would work though there is one issue in that we would always have tasks running into a second day for all Repair Centre technicians.This led me to the article below which confirm PSO can handle this but FSM can’t. This post is three years old so I though it worth asking if this functionality was ever developed in FSM and if not, how are othere working around this limitation? Thanks,Barry
When we run the consolidation it doesn't create the GCP3 posting for the currecny rate variance which create a mismatch in the consolidated balances
Hi All,I recently performed an upgrade installation for a customer using version 24R2, and the installation was completed successfully. However, when attempting to log in to the application for the first time, it displays the message: "Account is disabled. Contact your administrator." I have checked the account status from the database, and the account is not active. I updated the status to active by modifying the FND_USER_TAB table. However, I still cannot log in to the application. I’d appreciate any guidance, best practices, or documentation links you could share on this topic.Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,i want to make a field editable when the state is diffrent Closed, but is not workingfor information i want to put it on a custom entity associated to business opportunity do you have any idea why its not work ?Regards.
We’re trying to check that we’ve completed our organization structure and position access correctly, We have an employee to think is setup correctly but when we look at My Employees from the Lobby, the field is blank.Is there a setting that we’re missing that controls whether or not “I” can see my employees?Thank you
Hi In PSO 6.11 how to set distance penalty in travel cost model?How can I see difference in workbench after distance penalty is applied to particular resources?
Dear Community,We are currently using IFS 9 and have encountered an issue with the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) system regarding the visibility of semi-finished products. We have semi-finished products, such as PCB boards, that are repaired by our repair department. These products are then frozen in inaccessible locations to prevent them from being picked for production. As a planner, I do not want to see these incompatible pieces in my planning view, but I would like the MRP system to recognize them as available inventory. This is to avoid generating unnecessary demand and the need to order additional components for these products. I have created a new Availability Control ID “FROZEN(BLOCKED)” and set it as Nettable. However, the issue with making it Nettable is that these items are still visible to the planner, which I want to avoid. We need a solution that allows the MRP system to see these semi-finished products as available inventory without generating additional demand.
Hi Community, I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I am using the AbsenceRegistrationAssistantHandling projection in Boomi and am building the Virtual Entity and then run the DoGenerateAbsence action, which works fine as I pass across details in the payload as normal. When attempting to run the VrtAbsenceInformation_CleanupVirtualEntity action at the end of the process flow, I think I need to set the Connector Bound Entity Set Name and Bound Entity Set Parameters , which I am setting as below (taken from another community post). Bound Entity Set Name: VrtAbsenceInformationsBound Entity Set Parameters: Objkey='{objkey}'. However when I run the process in test, I get a 404 error, so I must be doing something wrong somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions please?David.
Hi Community,While working on our ERP processes, I developed a PL/SQL function to simplify the creation of the attribute variable. Writing scripts can be time-consuming, especially when you creating an attribute like:client_sys.add_to_attr('PART_NO', 'TM-SERVER', attr_);Instead, in this way:p3_ VARCHAR2(32000) := 'PART_NO' || chr(31) || 'TM-SERVER' || chr(30);We can significantly reduce the time and effort required to prepare scripts with the function below. FUNCTION generate_attr_script(p3_ IN VARCHAR2) RETURN CLOB IS output_ CLOB := ''; line_ VARCHAR2(32000); key_ VARCHAR2(200); value_ VARCHAR2(200); pos_ INTEGER; input_ VARCHAR2(32000);BEGIN input_ := p3_; WHILE instr(input_, chr(30)) > 0 LOOP line_ := substr(input_, 1, instr(input_, chr(30)) - 1); pos_ := instr(line_, chr(31)); key_ := substr(line_, 1, pos_ - 1); value_ := substr(line_, pos_ + 1); output_ := output_ || 'client_sys.add_to_attr(''' || key_ || ''', ''' || value_ || ''', attr_);' || chr(10);
I know the installation script can grab ACPs from a folder location, but this requires downtime.I know the Aurena GUI application can accept ACP ZIP files, but doing this in a web browser requires a mouse and can’t be scripted. When deploying a lot of ACPs, it’s too easy to miss one. I’d like a process for deploying ACPs in a brutally repeatable fashion (i.e. scripted) without causing end user downtime. So far, I figured out I can POST to this entity set to create a new object:AppConfigPackageHandling.svc/AppConfigPackageVirtualSet This gives me the Objkey to use for GET requests:AppConfigPackageHandling.svc/AppConfigPackageVirtualSet(Objkey='0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF') I can’t figure out how to build the correct payload for this PATCH request. The debug consoles in Chrome and Firefox aren’t showing me the request payload. What payload does this ImportFile request need? AppConfigPackageHandling.svc/AppConfigPackageVirtualSet(Objkey='0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF')/ImportFile
Community, what is the best way to download all engineering parts documents with just one click? right now we are doing it manually part by part. Thank you.
Hello,We are trying to update a value on some supplier using a data migration jobThe value is BlockedForPayment and we would like to pass it to TRUE. Trying to implement that using a datamigration job with IDENTITY_PAY_INFO_API.Modify__ method The line is read but value won’t update.If i call the method directly from Oracle SQL Developper the value will update any idea why please? or how to update the BLOCKED_FOR_PAYMENT value please? Thank you in advance
Hi All,We are using apps 10 and need to Migrate Inventory Parts with revisions set at 2 or higher. When we tested this the migration worked however in each case it created a Revision 1 as well as the revision we wanted. As an example we migrated a Part with revision 5, and it created a revision 1 and a revision 5.Is there a way to overcome this and only have the revisions required. Thanks and Merry Christmas
Hi IFS,There is a rumour that IFS migration tool will be removed from future IFS Cloud versions . Could someone verify this ? If yes, would you be able to share the timeline ? Thank you,Rohana.
We are experiencing an issue with IFS version 10. We changed the ERP authentication to SSO. In this case, Notify-me keeps expiring the token all the time. Previously, when authentication was done via the Oracle user, this behavior didn't occur. We are using Android for this case. I understand that with SSO authentication, Notify-me should no longer handle token expiration, since the authentication security is now managed by AD (Active Directory) and not Oracle anymore.
For Single Sing On (SSO) in IEE we have the possibility to use IEE Admin page and bypass the SSO mode and login with a user. But do we have the same possibility for Notify Me 10?
We have customer Apex Clean Energy that requires setting up multiple companies and sites for windfarms, battery farms, etc. They are very much in need of being able to mass load a lot of functional objects into an equipment structure along with technical attributes, about 4 times per year. Curious if you or your team have any “tools” or suggested methods that could facilitate. The are not implementing “Service Objects”, only Functional and perhaps Serial Objects.The customer has tried using DMM and thought about using FNDMIG to do this frequent load but the customer has determined that both those methods are not efficient or are labor intensive.What other options have you developed to fulfill the needs of migrating the object, attributes and object structures from an external source? A workflow? Perhaps a standalone integration program to accomplish these tasks?Thank you in advance!
I am looking for a report or a page in IFS that will show me an entire product structure including the primary suppliers for each purchase part. Does such a thing exist in IFS?
Good morning, I am hoping someone has encountered and solved this before, or can help getting us on track.All servers are using the same version of IFS FSM (6u24). When trying to post perform_get_attachment_stream, we get the following error in our QA and DEV environments. { "Message": "The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'.\r\nParameter name: via"} notes: This function works as intended in our PRODUCTION environment (no errors, streams attachment properly). All other POST/GET/PATCH/PUT ODATA functions are working properly on all servers, including the ones where the "perform attachment stream" is not working. Some Screenshots: Error in DEV: Functional POST in DEV: (also using HTTPS) Funtional Post Attachment Stream in PROD: My best assumption is that this may pertain to our web.config in the ODATA app folder - which does have a different setup between PROD and DEV (see below comparison) Has anyone encountered this before, or does anyone have sugg
In IEE our R&D users were allowed to modify the approver on an approval line. In Cloud 24R1 SU5, it seems like they can’t unless they have docman access. We don’t want to grant docman system privileges because it will make it so they have more than what they need. We only want them to be able to modify the approver on an approval line. I have granted them full access to ApprovalRoutingAttachmentHandling, ApprovalTemplateHandling, and ApprovalsHandling and none of these grants give access to simply modify an existing approval line when in IEE users were able to do this. Are there any projection grants that I’m missing that will allow the R&D team to modify existing approval lines? We have set our templates up so that they are exactly that, templates, we add and remove as needed but some names on the approvals templates are placeholders for specific users. In cloud they are having to delete the line and readd it where in IEE they could just modify. If we’re not missing anything I
Good morning, Which settings defines which field you enter price on customer order line? Sometimes it’s field “Price Incl Tax/Curr” and sometimes “Price/Curr”. Both of customers are in the same currency. price/curr fieldprice incl tax/currBoth of them are with tax code 5%.
