Hi All,When calling External REST APIs, external parties may provide different endpoints for different environments.Example:CFGcfg.abc.comUATuat.abc.comPRDprd.abc.comSo when testing in CFG we configure external url ‘cfg.abc.com’ .This means we have to reconfigure workflows after pushing changes to UAT and PRD.What is the current practice in your projects?Do you un-deploy workflows and change APIs, user, password etc. for authorization in UAT, PRD?
Hi All,Currently we are using WBS for the Project Management.Want to explore Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) option too.As, I am pretty new to Project Management in IFS , request you to please help me in any documentation or screenshots related to CBS setup step by step.I am really confused regarding how system will identify the required Cost element and capture the Committed cost in Project Forecast window when we connect a Project and Activity to a PO Line in Purchase Order window and release the respective PO.Do we have any screen, where I can connect defined Cost Elements to required Project and Activity?Note: We have decided to keep around 50 Cost/Revenue Elements. Thank u so much in advance 😊Best Regards,Rakesh
We are currently working on some solutions to improve our dates for our customers. One gap we currently have within IFS is that ATP (Available to Promise) and CTP (Capability check or Capable to Promise) do not include open supply, unless the Wanted Date is within the Open Supply window. Example where Supply is not seen:Customer Order Wanted Delivery Date - 5/10/21 Shop Order Due Date 5/12 ATP runs and shows you can only fulfill so much of the order (based on qty on hand and selling qty). Thus the user runs CTP moves the promise date on the customer order to the full part lead time (30 days) even though the supply is coming in on the 12th. Example where Supply is seen:Customer Order Wanted Delivery Date - 5/10/21 Shop Order Due Date 5/8 ATP or CTP see the supply and the date properly plans the customer order. With the supply not being seen on the first one example, we get an extended lead time that is no necessary. Do any other customers run into this issue? If so, have you come up wi
Hello Need advise, on opening and closing of shop order from previous week or month . Question 1: If shop order is closed for example: in previous week and it gets re- opened to make any changes to shop order, this is giving me material variance in GL in the current period.(ie correction week).But sometime, when a shop order is opened and closed again without any changes to the shop order its still giving material variance again in GL. if there is no change why does IFS gives shop order variance again? and how can we avoid this? Question 2:sometime our we need to update the notes on control plan lines in a shop order, these orders can be old ie previous period, again this is re-calculating material variance.How can we overcome this, is there better way of updating notes on control plan without it impacting the material variance. Thanks Swati
Procurement > Order > Analysis > Purchase Order Delivery Status This module works for one employee and not the other…. The permission sets are exactly the same. Any Ideas… I verified the users are running the same PO query and it was cleared before information was ran.
Hello,We received a request to setup 110 customers to auto invoicing so we usually setup the scheduled database tasks called batch create customer invoice and batch print customer invoice. However, it seems these database tasks only accepts one customer number per scheduled database task setup. Is there a way to automate multiple customers for these scheduled tasks instead of per each customer number? Note that these customers belong to different companies. Please advise. Thanks Note: We are currently in IFS10
Hi, When cancelling a Manual Supplier Invoice that is in PostedAuth state - is there a way to set the Final Cancellation Voucher Date to default to the system date?
I am trying to apply to CUPOAs to an open invoice (CD) on a customer account via a mixed payment since they payments & invoice are in different currencies (USD & CAD). How do I get the transaction to balance in the mixed payment? If I change the ‘Pay Amount in Invoice Curr’ of CUPOA 1213 to $1,398.07 so they net to $0, It still doesn’t balance for me to post. HELP :)

Hello, My customer will soon start using an internal ledger for the first time (in Jan 2025). For IL opening balance to be uploaded on all accounts, whether ledger or not, I was wondering what could be the best approach For non ledger accounts, I could use a manual voucher to be created on 1st on Jan 2025.As for ledger accounts, option 1 : should I create a Q voucher on period 13 of the current year (2024) in the Internal Voucher Entry window, so that balances are transferred to period zero of next year in IL through the year end process? Or option 2 : is it possible to just run the year end process, and then select an option to transfer GL year end balances to both GL and IL ? (without creation of any Q voucher on IL as in option 1)If there is any option to update ledger account opening balance in Internal Ledger, I would be grateful of the community to share. Thank you for your helpTanya
Hi All,I need some assistance in understanding the logic behind fetching data for the "Transaction Based Invoice Consideration Parts" section in the RNYI report.
Hi. I have setup T-action for several absence types and it works as expected. Only part I am not able to solve is for absence action to appear while absence type is in state “Confirmed”. As far I can see, the parameters do not cover what state absence type should be in. Is there anything else I can change?
I have created a combined flow as below. Based on our sales operation, I cannot define the base flows based on customer, customer group, market, region etc. My period version is in weeks and qualify job parameters are below. When I’m running qualify job, it takes around 48 hours to complete the job. Will this be okay? Will this be affected other performance issues in the Cloud or is there any way that I can optimize the base flow query?

In case this helps somebody, version 131 of Chromium based browsers such as Edge and Chrome have caused issues with editing BPA workflow elements on such the IFS API element as below. Note there is no API Name or EntitySet Name text box. This issues occurs on 23R2 only and I have not checked later versions. This can be resolved by setting the SelectParserRelaxationEnabled flag to false or 0 depending on the OS. The details are here:Chrome Enterprise policy list and management | DocumentationSelectParserRelaxationEnabled - Instinctive library of Chrome settingsIt looks like there is a bug in v131 as according to the document the workflow functionality should still work if the policy is not set or is set as true/1/enabled. False/0 only seems to fix it. If this is corrected in the future, the policy will also need to be changed.

Apps10 UPD 16Customer is currently using Int Purch Trans and the Available Qty is showing the total inventory in the order taking site and the internal supply site.Is the Available Qty field on a Customer Order Line supposed to show: 1) only the inventory on the order taking Site, 2) only the inventory on the supplying Site, or 3) the inventory on all Sites? Does this value vary based on the Supply Code used?
Hi Community,A Quick question here.Is there a way we can attach pdf files by passing a parameter like “&PDF_FILE” when using PDF_REPORT_CREATED event with a Rest Call Type Action? In the Event action page currently it provide only a button to attach the items. But can we use the Payload to pass a parameter like below? (IFS VERSION - Cloud 23R2)
Hello,We’re experiencing significant issues with printing—around 25% of all print jobs fail with the message:“Error occurred while rendering the (plugin) report. Error: java.lang.NullPointerException.”Manually restarting the individual print job usually resolves the issue, allowing the report to generate and the print job to complete successfully.As a temporary measure, I’ve implemented a custom event to automatically restart the failed print jobs, but this is not a sustainable solution. We are on 24R1 SU3.There’s already a case open with IFS, but it hasn’t provided a resolution yet.Has anyone else encountered this issue?Thanks,Golo
Hello,Some POs / PO lines are more important then the others; they are crucial /necessary to be delivered on time for the project realization and for that reasons they need more attention in monitoring process.Is it possible to give them in IFS some kind of the high priority? to define them in IFS as very important by some icon or something similar?Regards,Kruthika
@ADDMARIAE We are in need of Daily Balance reconciliation in which we set the Overtime balance as 0 everyday to calculate the correct overtime on a daily basis based on the number of hours reported. We are making use of Standard database tasks in Balance reconciliation. However we have noticed that approx 30 mins is being taken per employee and it reconciles for the last 1 year everytime it is running. Ideally it should reconcile for the last day only effectively. Is there some trick that we are missing in the setup or this functionality is supposed to work like this or no company is using Daily reconciliation? Database scheduled task - Start Time Balance Reconciliation Our setup is as below,
