There is a day forwarning column in the maintenance plan. I would like to know which screen or column uses this data. I was unable to identify this information in the help.I think it is the Next Interval Maint screen where only maintenance intervals within the period defined in the days forwarning column are shown. 

I decided to create this conversation as I don’t see this issue addressed clearly in other areas of the IFS Community. Although it is alluded to in other questions, no real answer is provided by IFS that has been satisfactory (or maybe it is but I could not find it).The question is simple: Why has IFS fully restricted the execution of any IFSAPP API’s to the user accounts given to Customer’s IT departments to connect to Oracle (that is, IFSINFO and IFSDBREADONLY)? What alternatives does IFS provide to Customer’s IT departments to perform some tasks that are SAFE that were entirely possible in APPS10?I would like to expand a bit on what I mean by SAFE API calls. In the past, IFS Consultants maintained that the state of IFS Database Access to Customer’s IT Departments was presenting a risk, as users (with the IFSAPP password) could do whatever CRUD operations they wanted against the base tables CIRCUMVENTING IFS API USAGE and that was very risky.Fast forward to IFS Cloud architecture and

Hi All,We have noticed that setting a default value using a BPE workflow to a field that gets its values from a fixed database enumeration, is not possible as it gives an error.  Ex: Automatic Payment Authorization field in Supplier → Invoice → General tab.  We have already tried the solution from the post Set default value for a list using BPA | IFS Community but we still keep getting this error.  Is this a bug in the standard application or are we missing something? Help! TIA

I am looking for advice on setting up vacation accruals by hours and time with the company in IFS Cloud.  For example, from years 0 - 3, the employee gets 80 hours per year of vacation.  The accrual rate is 0.03846 hours of vacation per hour worked.  The maximum carry forward is 160 hours.  from years 4 - 6, the employee gets 100 hours per year of vacation.  The accrual rate is 0.04807 hours of vacation per hour worked.  The maximum carry forward is 200 hours.  The years need to be calculated from the employee hire date.  Can the accruals be automatically changed once the years of service moves to the next tear?  I don’t see how you do anything with hours in the time limit value details. 

 We are currently on 23R2.10  The actual documents are now appearing in the tree section of the Document folder Navigator screen again.  The problem is that they now have a hyperlink to the Document Revision screen.  Our shop floor employees use this screen to review their work instructions.  We do not want them in the document revision screens.  How can I turn off this hyperlink?   We would prefer that it just be a view document feature. 

Hi We are in the process of upgrading to IFS cloud 24R1, and all the dates in our IFS cloud do not match our local time system. IFS Cloud uses American, and we are Europeans. As other posts in the community has noted, it is possible to change browser settings, but we are a production company with many not so tech savvy people. Is there a way to centrally force date formats? Either a parameter in system parameters, or a change in the used languages.Best Regards

Hi.In FSM, when creating a quote with lines for a contract, the quote generates a temporary contract with status set to “QUOTE”. The duration on the quote lines (quote_contract_line) determines the coverage start and end dates. The problem is that the temporary contract uses todays date as the start date for this calculation. Is there any way to edit the process so that it uses a different start date?

Hello! I am using IFS Apps 10 UPD18 and am facing the issue that a posting proposal appears not to be connected to an invoice. We can see the following error in the “Supplier Invoices for Final Posing Analysis,” but nothing appears when you search for that posting proposal in the posting proposal screen. ORA-20115: PostingProposalHead.FND_REMOVED: The "Posting Proposal Head" has already been removed by another user. I suspect that this could be an error originating from the code. I kindly request your advice and guidance on solving this issue so Supplier invoices can be treated as usual. Thank you!

Hello! I am trying to figure out how the PO Line matching works and my scenario is as follows:Supplier Master - PO Matching is set to PO Line, and the Validation is set to PO Reference and Receipt Reference. The PO has 10 Inventory part lines, and all 10 are received via ‘Receipt’, and ‘Receipt’ is in the ‘Received’ Status. Assume that the first PO Line is for 110 quantities, unit priced at $0.98 = $107.86 I receive an Invoice from the Supplier, which has only one Invoice line, accounting for $107.86.  This invoice is loaded into IFS (Apps 10) as an external invoice file, and the file is also processed successfully. However, no matching is conducted at the Posting Proposal. I even changed the Supplier’s PO matching level to PO Header and PO Receipt, which simply matches all 10-part lines received, which is not what I expected. I would want only the Invoice line to match against the specific PO Line received.I kindly request your assistance and guidance in resolving this issue and under

We are currently using IFS Apps 10. When MRP generates a Purchase Requisition for a demand (whether for a customer order or a shop order), we've noticed that the origin information is not included in the Purchase Requisition.According to our understanding, the "Ordered For" field in the Purchase Requisition should display the customer order number or shop order number as its origin. However, this field is consistently blank. Could you please advise if there is a setting or configuration that needs to be adjusted to ensure the origin details are added to the Purchase Requisition?Attached below is a screenshot of the Purchase Requisition triggered by MRP for a customer order for reference.  Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

When making a “payment in full” transaction to a specific employee it gives an error mentioning that the payment method is not connected to other employees in the company. Refer the attached screenshot for further reference. Need assistance on identifying whether the payment method needs to be connected to all employee files, although the payment is made only for one specific employee in “Payment in Full Window”   Error Message  Mandatory Payment information to be filled Looking forward to some insights on this.Thanks.

Hello IFS Community,I have a question about the site MRP run. We’re experiencing an issue where, if an MRP run fails, it doesn’t provide clear information about which data might be missing—for instance, if a part doesn’t have a BOM assigned, etc. How do you handle this? Have you built a custom lobby for this or modified an existing one? I would really appreciate any ideas, suggestions, or even solutions.Best regards,Daniel

Hi,we have a business requirement to provide Provision to connect to Customer Order with Project if ‘Delay Cost of Goods sold to Delivery Confirmation’ check box is enabled at Customer order level. Current standard functionality does not allow the same and system throws an error “Project Connected order lines are not allowed when Cost of Goods Sold is delayed to Delivery Confirmation” if we try to connect project activity when the ‘Delay Cost of Goods Sold to Delivery confirmation’ flag is checked.I am trying to understand the business logic against this validation. also, on the impact in case we have to remove this validation as per customer requirement ? Any inputs from community is appreciated.

If I want to post provided parts from a purchase order at goods receipt with the backflush function, I get the following error message although there are enough parts available at the selected storage location. It can also be ruled out that the availability control ID is preventing the posting:Error - IFS ApplicationsNo adequate quantity is available for part XXXX.Assign a quantity to backflush manually via the Components button. Does anyone know the reason and has a solution?

 Hello, I am currently working with the IFSCRMCompanion mobile app and would like to implement a BPA that sets default values for language and country(France) when adding a Lead.As an example, I have added a BPA by specifying the projection name and the screen function to add a Lead. However, the BPA does not seem to trigger as expected. The BPA works correctly in IFS Cloud using the same projections and calls. However, it does not seem to trigger on the mobile app, even though the setup is the same. Could you please provide guidance on how to properly configure or troubleshoot this BPA to ensure it activates on the mobile app? Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards,BPA WORKFLOWIFS CLOUD​​​​​​APP MOBILERegards,

Problem:FTP reader cannot proceed with OPTIMITY INTEGRATION - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error in application message.checked int server logs ifsconnect,intserver and other logs and could find "Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" error on intserver logs, Checked the heap dump and could not find heap issue. in this generated xml file one xml contains 75mb and other one is 56 mb, however file reader can read, For a 2GB heap space can process about 100 MB file. For larger files will have to increase the heap space allocated for the Integration Server accordingly. This issue was resolved by increasing int server memory up to 8 gb (both int servers 16gb) and that was processing file with 8GB heap memory. As of now this issue is sorted temporally . But in future if this file grows beyond 56MB this issue can reoccur in same environments and tweaking the memory in-between managed servers no longer will be a solution Suggestion to avoid this issue file s

Hi All,In our work with shop orders we are not assigning employees or teams to the shop order operations but we would still like to see who is completing the operation. I do not see a record of the modify user or am I able to find a way to track this using the history log. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi , Absence Working Days or Hours is not capturing in the system. please help 

The following print-screen show the state of one of my Output Containers, as you can see:It refers to IDENTITY_PAY_INFO It’s key (COMPANY, IDENTITY, PARTY_TYPE_DB) is: TESTCO, ABC0001 and CUSTOMER (respectively) Is in Approved stateIn addition to that, IDENTITY_PAY_INFO is referred by another table PAYMENT_WAY_PER_IDENTITY. On that table, It is expected that the field PARTY_TYPE_DB should exist in IDENTITY_PAY_INFO, as you can see in this Target Table Definition.With this information in mind… then why this row in PAYMENT_WAY_PER_IDENTITY failing if the corresponding record already exist in  IDENTITY_PAY_INFO when I validate basic data?To me the information is already there, so it shouldn’t fail.Also, what does the word “CASCADE” represent in the Reference column in the target table definition (as in this case where the reference is “IdentityPayInfo(company,identity)/CASCADE”)?

I try to send a notification email and the email body contains the email text as well as the formatting characters. Please, could you advise what setting need to be corrected to get rid of the formatting characters.
