24.1.5In the Settings dialog for Machine Operations Scheduling, there is a setting for Current Gantt Chart Height with the options Small, Medium, Large, and Auto. When I change this value, all it seems to do is shift the Gantt left-to-right or vice versa, the height does not change.What is the intended function of this setting?

 Hi All,When a Type Designation is connected via the General Tab of the functional object, and a Technical Class Template is also connected, the information of the technical class and attributes details are not visible on the Type Designation Tab. Instead, it only appears on the Requirements Tab. The same information appears to be duplicated across three locations: Type Designation Tab Requirements Tab Attachment Panel (as characteristics)   I’m trying to understand the functional purpose of the Type Designation Tab. Is there a specific use case or workflow where this tab is essential, or is it redundant due to the availability of the same information on the other tabs and attachment panel?Please let me know your thoughts!Thanks & Best Regards,Nipun

Our customer has installed version 24.1.5 recently (previously used version 23.1.4) . They have custom fields in the Document Revision window, and the view used for the Document Revision pages is DOC_ISSUE_REFERENCE. In the core code, IFS removed the objkey from the view, which is preventing us from publishing the custom fields in the DocIssue entity to this view. Additionally, due to the custom fields in the Document Revision window, we are unable to load the configured page.I haven’t found any solution to resolve this issue other than adding the objkey to the DOC_ISSUE_REFERENCE view as a customization. Many thanks for your inputs on this issue. Best regards,Uvini

Hi, We are implementing Cloud and our users in Argentina have reported a problem with the format of numbers.  I think it’s the default language setting for the browser, they have it set to Spanish (Argentina)the decimal symbol is a comma , number grouping is a period . Example,Enter a manual supplier invoice and on the line, enter a net amount of 25000.25 (using the period on the number pad) but the amount that populates the field when we tab to the next field is 2.500.025,25In EE the reginal settings were modified as followsDecimal = comma thousands separator = periodWhen the user enters the same amount 25000.25 the result in EE is 25.000,25 which is appropriate for their region.   In Cloud the user can only get the amount to be 25.000,25 if they type 25-period-000-comma-25.  Does anyone know how to get the format of numbers to work the same way it did in apps10? Thanks

We are working in France under the French financial system.Certain accounts cannot be automatically matched in IFS.Manual matching is done via the 'Account Matching' screen.Automatic matching is possible but only for certain accounts via the 'Accounts for Automatic Matching' screen. For automatic matching, IFS asks us for an Automatic matching attribute. In our case, the attribute is a custom field.How can we allow automatic matching with a custom field? is it possible? Thank’s in advance for your help

I’ve got the following scenario:I created a first version of a BOM in EPDM and imported this via Cadlink in IFS. Result Engineering parts (and structure) are created.I selected the parent part of the BOM to a project deliverable and selected the option copy PDM structure all levels. Result the components of the structure are created as Project Deliverable components.  So far so good.Than the BOM in EPDM is updated (new revisions of components or new components added), via Calink the changes are added to IFS and added to the engineering “structure”.Now i want to update my project deliverable to with the changes made to the parent part and underlaying parts, but with the option Copy PDM structure all levels , the full list of components is added again so of lot of components are double in the project structure.Any ideas?Kind regards,Vincent Heijmer

Hi, Here a case regarding "weighted average" for parts in inter-site flow.We have weighted average + cost per part Inventory Part in inter-site flow.Source Site unit cost = 12.Destination Site unit cost = 10.When we ship units from source site to destination site, SHIPTRAN + INTORDTR transactions are created and immediately weighted average in destination site goes 11. Even though, the goods will be in transport for about 7 days. During those 7 days this part stored in destination site is sold/issued with the cost 11, what affects margin rates etc. So the moment of recalculation of weighted average (moment of shipment instead moment of arrival) is quite questionable.Is this intentional behavior? Or maybe some parameter exists? Regards, Lukasz

Is it possible to view a lobby element in Aurena with the default parameters null?I have created a lobby that opens with a parameter populated by default as the majority of the business needs to see the data with this particular filter. However,  there is one user who would like to view the lobby with no filters applied. The SQL conditions on the data source designer for the effected lobby elements are built so that a null value in the parameter would return the unfiltered data. In EE for IFS 10 and in Aurena, when I manually delete the default parameter value, it auto-populates when I hit return. I don’t seem to be able to delete the default value and leave it null. Is this possible, or do I need to redesign the SQL conditions so that the unfiltered data comes through when I change the parameter value to some other text? 

Hello all,We recently upgraded from 22.2.14 to 24.1.2.Our lobby datasources no longer work with a ‘DISTINCT’ in the column definition. They worked fine in 22R2. I tried adding a DISTINCT to a simple standard IFS datasource and it also did not work. All of the Queries seem to work fine in SQLDevelopper.Is DISTINCT no longer supported in datasource column definitions, or does it have to be implemented in a certain way? If so, what is the good implimentation method?Error message: Could not preview element. Make sure datasource is configured correctly and view is existing.Sample attached, but it could be any datasource.

I have tried enable the baseline “ReceivingList” screen in FSM Mobile application through configurations but the screen is not visible in Global menu.Can any one suggest for this issue?

We have instances where we need to change the inventory part number on a sales part after it has been saved and transactions are done. We cannot issue new sales part numbers every time we have new inventory parts because we have “printed” literature that shows our sales parts. So, we need the same sales part ID to remain, but connected to a different inventory part.In IFS applications 7, it was possible to change the Inventory part that was connected to a sales part in the “Sales Part” windowIn later versions, this possibility has been restricted, and the system was designed to maintain a one-to-many relationship between inventory parts and sales parts.Can you please specify the reason why this functionality was disabled after apps7? Can you suggest a workaround we can use in the above situation, instead of creating a new sales part?

Hello Community,I want to ask about this statement in IFS docs?Here is the link - https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r2/010_overview/020_high_level_architecture/ What are all the reasons behind this? Why build place must (or should?) not contain customer production data?Is it because of the data protection laws of the various countries? If yes, then how IFS manages this on use place environments like CFG, UAT which are sometimes accessible by consultants residing in different countries. Thanks in advance.

Good day.  Due to multiple approval levels on TR’s at our Customer, we are using a combination of the Travel Request Configuration and Approval Routings.  If first level Approval has been done based on the TR Configuration setup, but TR is Rejected on 2nd or 3rd level approval step via the Approval Routing, the status of the TR remains “Approved” (based on 1st level approval that was done). Any suggestions in this regard?Thank you.Anya

In IFS Cloud 24R1 UPD 5, Inventory Part has a classification called Product Category which is a drop-down list.  However, I could not find any basic data page where values can be added to Product Category. Couldn’t find any content in the IFS Product Documentation regarding this field and the Inventory Part page has no Field Description for it either.  Can someone help please?TIA

Hi, I’d like to suggest some enhancement for the very useful Quick Preview feature IFS Cloud offers for some files types when using Document Management.Currently, we can : Rotate Zoom in/out with a slider (with no real-time preview)I suggest 2 other functionnalities that would be more ergonomic to use, especially with touch devices :Zoom In and Zoom out buttons : zoom in or out by increment (10% ?) Full page : auto scale the document to display the full picture (if image) or full page (if PDF)    This would seriously increase the ergonomy to view some technical drawings in the Shop Floor Workbench screen for example.Best regards, Pierre
