Hi All, Currently we are trying to develop a navigating option between IFS cloud and FSM lobbies. To achieve the desired objective we need to pass parameters used in IFS lobby to the FSM lobby parameters through the link.For example, if we have a customer lobby in IFS with customer ID as the parameter value. Once the user links on the navigator link on IFS Cloud lobby, it currently navigates to the relevant FSM lobby page. However, expectation is to pass the customer ID also to the FSM lobby parameters and show the filtered customer information from FSM side.

Hello,I need help to correctly set the deadlines in subcontracting, I was in V9 we had this problem and I do not see any improvement on the 23r1. I created an external load item and attached a calendar to it, telling it 1 day = 60mm so that I could talk in days but not in hours for subcontracting. I don't know if there's a simpler way of setting this up.The problem with what I'm doing is that when the subcontracting operation is in progress, if I recalibrate my production order, it doesn't recalibrate the external operation dates correctly. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) as long as the external operation is in Released status, the recalibration takes the 10-day delay into accountRemaining Machine Time is set to 10I have sent my production order to subcontractors and my operation has been placed in work-in-progress.the Remaining Machine Time field is set to 0 and this poses a problem because if I reset it takes this data and as there is 0 it does not correctly reset my phase.

Hi,We’re evaluating systems to help manage EPD & NPD for our products (Bulk Cheese & Whey Powders). One option is to use Engineering Change Management in our IFS Apps 10 system. (We’re moving to Cloud in 2027)Does anyone use ECM for this in a food business and would be willing to show us how they use it? Ideally in Apps 10 or in Cloud Many thanksDave
Hi teamI would like to understand the functionality behind the “Use Default Payment Method for Installments” option under the Supplier/Payment Tab.I know that when this toggle is enabled, the default payment method is updated in the supplier invoice or installment plan. However, my question is:When this toggle is enabled, is there a limitation that restricts payments to the default payment method only?I have the following scenario:The above toggle is enabled for the supplier. The supplier’s default payment method is ACH, but CHK is also connected. I hve created an invoice so the payment method in installment plan is ACH Create the payment proposal and the Payment method % -So my invoice is included to the payment proposal But when I try to create the payment order for the payment method CHK,I get below errorI noticed that I can make a payment using CHK if I disable the “Use Default Payment Method for Installments” toggle under the supplier.Could you explain why the system restricts me
I have a question regarding Shop Order Req (SOR) vs Shop Order (SO) start dates once they are manually created. We are using infinite capacity, along with backwards scheduling. MRP is driving the SORs and start dates. When manually converting SORs based on SOR start dates, the created SO has a different start date than the SOR originally had. i.e. We review SORs 1-2 days before the the start dates and manually create SOs from then. I would expect the newly created SOs to have the same start dates as the SOR we just converted, but at times they differ. Looking for feedback on what cause the the SOR and SO start dates to differ?
Hi everyone,I am testing the Service Management in Cloud (R24.1.5) and I have created notes to see in MWO. However, although they are apparently syncronised to mobile, they are not displayed in MWO. I am able to see the Service Notes per Task but not the service notes for the whole Request.Any idea?Thanks in advance.Regards,Irene
We are currently using IFS 10/UPD 18. We currently have all parts setup as average cost/cost per part. We also use the project system for shop order processing. Our issue is that due to IFS cascading cost revaluation entries, projects we have closed completely, from the project itself to the financial project, are being created. These are due to average costing changes. We understand the cause. The problem is that outside of the fact we do not want a project to be touched after it is closed, these same transactions become posting errors because the project is closed. The only way to get them to post is to open up the financial project, open up the project and open up the activity. Outside of turning on lot/batch control/changing the project after it is completed, to non-capitalization, does anyone have a superior solution? Thanks,Rich
Hello, We have started to put the data together for our IFS implementation, but i have some questions that i cannot seem to get an answer from our group. As for maintenance, whats the grandparent/parent/child relation ripples for creating the right object type and those relations? which field labels are the broader items and which are the more machine-specific? How does that relation look in a stair-step map?
IFS version: IFS Cloud 24R1SU5 I have an event action (workflow) that I would like to activate when a custom attribute from an Event has certain values: Custom attribute is titled “INVENTORY_FLAG” and defined below:Purchase_Part_API.Get_Inventory_Flag(&NEW:CONTRACT, &NEW:PART_NO) The possible values returned from this custom attribute are “Inventory Part”, “Non Inventory Part” or NULL. I would like the workflow to run when the value returned is “Non Inventory Part” or NULL. Will the following satisfy that? I worry about NULL...

IFS APPS 10. We would like to test the usage of the “Estimated Future Demand” lobby element in our B2B Supplier Portal by having just one of our suppliers use it. Once we vet out the process, we will roll the lobby element out to the rest of the suppliers. Is there a way to allow just one of our suppliers to see the lobby element in the portal? Our purchasing team met with IFS on this and was told that it can be done, but I can’t find how. Thank you
Hello, When using the Project module, we enter cost estimates in the “Tasks” tab.The origin of planned costs is set to “Activity resources”.Despite the fact that costs exist in the tasks tab and are attached to a cost item, they do not go up to the activity monitoring level. Could you tell me why?
Hi Community, I have a question regarding the project module. On the materials and services screen, I have some misc parts that I will supply using MRP. Once the reservation of the parts done, is there any option to do issue in mass all the parts ? It seems that the option is only available for each line individually. There is a possibility to create a project pick list but it seems to be a report and not linked to any logistic process. Any idea or suggestion regarding this process ? Thanks,

Can anyone advise what my expectations should be in Cloud with regards to clicking a field name in order to sort results? The screenshot below is in Material/Services (Project Definition). I clicked Supply Option and it sorted by this field (confirmed by the up-pointing carat) but we were process testing in Receipts earlier today and clicking fields in the header didn’t appear to work. My colleague and I have encountered this in other screens too. I’m hoping it should be available view/application-wide …?? Thanks!Linda
